Yeah, they wouldn't have trouble putting fans in the seats that's for sure. Might become a hotter ticket than the Lakers.

You really think Bledsoe was that bad? When I saw him he seemed to do some good things but not that I watched them alot but the few times I did I though he was pretty decent with better potential than what we have (flynn)

I didn't get to watch as much college BB as I normally do. In fact, I didn't get to see Kyrie Irving play at all.

However, watching the tournament I really like Brandon Knight from Kentucky. He's got nice size for a PG, shoots well from the outside, shines in crunch time and has the type of frame where it looks like he'll be able to add some muscle and overpower defenders when driving to the hoop.

The only thing that look a little shaky was his ball handling from time to time. It goes without saying that's an issue for a PG, but it's one of the easiest skills to improve.

He hasn't said definitively if he's entering the draft or staying at UK.

We need a little of the lynx luck. Dont they have like 4 #1 picks on there roster? What did we do to deserve all this bad luck?

I would trade Johnny Flynn for Maya Moore straight up.

This year's talent pool sucks. Harrison Barnes just announced he was staying in college along with Perry Jones, Sullinger, etc. Chad Ford (ESPN) has it going Kyrie Irving, Derrick Williams, Enes Kanter and Valanciunas...YUCK.

Maybe they'll throw the Wolves a bone this year since there is no "can't miss" player available. Either that or we'll get the #3 in a two player draft as usual. I would go Kemba Walker #3 if that happened. I'm not real high on foreign big men.

If we get #1 pick, I say we go with Irving, even if Rubio comes over. We can run Rubio, Irving, Beasley, Love and Darko/Jordan/Gasol/Kaman. Irving plays off the ball when he was playing in college. If we get #2-4, we go Biyombo. This kid is something special, averages 6 points, 5 boards and 2 blocks a game playing 17 minutes. He can be a threat in the post and Love can step outside for 3s. Drafting Biyombo means we're set at center.

Rubio/Ridnour

Wes/Webster/ELlington/memphis picks

Beasley/Webster/Tolliver/memphis picks

Love/Randolph/Tolliver

Biyombo/Darko/Pek

Why draft Derrick Williams when we have Beasley? Lets hope Khan don't F this draft up. SO what you guys think?

Beasley is a great talent but he just doesn't play hard.

Ridnour is a horrible point guard.

Darko is well Darko. Nothing special.

Williams would be much better than Beasley. I like Beasley but he could be so much better if he made an effort.

It's a two person draft by most accounts. Irving and Williams.

We need a slasher who can get to the hole and score.

This team is just plain AWFUL!!

Biyombo is probably too small to play center. He's 6'9" and can jump out of the gym, but he'd get over powered by legit 7 footers.

He'll probably be more of a Serge Ibaka type player with a raw offensive game, but good defense/rebounding and a high energy guy.

Might be a good fit for the Wolves, however, with their lack of interest in playing defense.

Biyombo is only 6'9" but he has a 7'7" wingspan. Hasheem Thabeet is 7'1-2" and have a wingspan of 7'6". I won't be worry about Biyombo being undersized at the 5.

Kahn will Fire Rambis and have no coach for the draft again. Then he will take two power forwards since we have a bunch unless he takes two point guards like he did with Rubio and Flynn. What a great basketball mind we have running this organization.

ESPN is reporting that Rambis is fired. Wow. What a terrible franchise. Kahn must go too, and Glen Taylor needs to sell this team. New owner, new GM, new coach.

I wish they would have done this a few months ago, at this point, they may have just held on to him for another year. But it isnt like the players we have were working all that great in his system anyhow. I think the team is committed in trying to win this year, and I think they will be going after a popular face for a coach. I am glad they did it anyhow. Better late then never!

I would love to see Sam Mitchell

I am all for that. A former coach of the year that knows MN. Let's do it.

      Went in to Lucky 7 to get some crappie minnows today. All they had were crappie minnows and fatheads. She said to call in advance for the opener, couldn't say for sure if they'd have rainbows, shiners, etc for opener!

      St Cloud Fishing Reports

      By Rick G · Posted

      Been out couple times this last week. Between the rain and wind there really was only one day this past week where it was actually warm out fishing.  Water temps are low mid 50s yet, not much change from last week.  Fish are still holding out off the first break on some area lakes and right up in the boat channels and back bays of others.   Been keeping it pretty simple as far as tackle used. Having the best luck with the lil hustler tubes under a small float or throwing the Bobby Garland baby shads with a 1/32 jig head.  The Bobby's have definitely been my big fish catcher this spring.

      Crane Lake and Sand Point Mid May 2024 Fishing

      By imhatz · Posted

      The water looks low but appears to be on the rise. We will be there  the week after opener. I have been going since 1981 and enjoying the experience. We love the variety of fish we catch and release each year. Ice went out a bit earlier than in years past. Water may be warmer and plan to target some crappies. We fish predominately in Sand Point as we camp. Good luck all and tight lines. We may consider the hike to Lake Lucille which we did 2 years ago.

      By Kettle · Posted

      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year
