Sacre

[EuroZag2010]

I found this while browsing through yahoo sports. I'm not sure how legitimate it is or what but his name is out there and being mentioned.

NBAdraft.net has a new 2012 mock draft out as of Tuesday, Jan. 10. In the latest mock draft, the web site has Sacre getting selected as the No. 36 overall pick. That is the sixth pick of the second round, showing that he is very close to breaking into the first round projections. The site things that the Houston Rockets are the team that could target the senior, but I am not so sure that prediction makes a lot of sense with the way that the Rockets roster looks . The Rockets have the second-round pick of the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2012 after a trade that took place during the 2011 NBA Draft.

That place has Wroten going #23 overall. Would be quite funny if he was one and done while we get GBJ for 4 years.

I think it's almost a given that Wroten is a 1 and done player. Gary and Tony seem to be at the opposite ends of the spectrum.

I believe Wroten may be too young to be one and done.

in more ways than one.

I 'thought' I heard an announcer state the same thing. Something to the effect that he wouldn't meet the minimum age requirement.

Wroten's DOB is 4/13/93, so he turns 19 in 3 months. Draft rule is that a player must have graduated HS 1 yr before draft and turn 19 in the calendar year of that draft. So unless I'm missing something, he's eligible.

TW is gone and UW will be better off next yr sans Tony "look at me" Wroten.

In all honestly, I'd like to see him stay and continue to average 5 TO's per game. At this point, in regards to recruiting, Romar has to play him, but I swear every time Wroten sits, UW looks like a better team and play much better bball i.e. swing the ball, mine for open looks, get the ball inside-outside, actually utilize screens, etc.

In some ways, Wroten is the best & worst freshman in the Country. IMO.

TW eligibility

I've heard thru some reliable sources that Wroten would have a VERY difficult time meeting academic requirements to be eligible next year.

He's gone!

Rob will get a look, but it will be tough?

Been hijacked ... Oh well

IMHO Rob's size, strength, and attitude will get him a look midway in the 3rd round. but no big lotto payday. I luv him to death but while he can shoot and pass well enough , he is weak on the boards, has hands of stone, and lacks the lateral quickness the NBA demands. I do believe he will play for money Internationally and have some success given the right opportunity and gaining experience in that style of play.

Rob has an NBA body, yet has a long, long way to go to have an NBA game. He'd be a great practice squad guy or a big, mean center for a Euro-team as well.

So when did he graduate HS and when is the 2012 draft...couldn't find either online. But, let's say he graduated in June 15, 2011, unless the NBA draft is after June 15, 2012, he can't be eligible...sounds like this might be the case.

In the 3rd round? So, as an undrafted free agent?

I like Rob but I don't think he'll be drafted
