i don't know if i would even give taft that much credit - he has the look about him of a perpetual underachieving stiff...maybe that is wilcox too, but i've seen both play in person numerous times at the same level of development and i would pick wilcox 10 out of 10 times - good luck with whoever decides to pick Taft.

Anyone with Taft's physical gifts should be leading his team in rebounding. If he played with the intensity of Troutman, he would be a top 5 pick. As it is he lacks assertiveness and really did not dominate on any end of the court like he should to be considered a high lottery pick. I wish him luck and I am glad he is gone, but I am not excited if the Knicks or Nets take him.

Taft will be picked high and probably be a bust. I wonder who will be a better pro, Taft, Charlie V, or Warrick? All different styles, but all will most likely play 4 in the NBA (maybe Warrick spends time at 3, Taft at 5).
Krauser will most likely come back, which would be the right move.

You have to think Warrick will be the best pro... while he might be an under-sized 4 or an over-sized 3, he just plays with so much more intensity and passion than either of those other 2 stiffs. He is just going to want it more in the pros, which will help him overcome a lot. The other 2 have bust written all over them.

I'm going with Charlie V. He seemed to "get it" late in the year. He has awesome size and skills, and he's quite aerodynamic (I can't help it, I'm sorry!) Moreover, I can't pick against a UConn kid in the NBA.
Warrick would be awesome on a team like the Suns. I don't know how he'll fit in a lot other places. I think he will struggle to score in the half court.
No one talks about Gomes, but I think he will be a really good 3 in the NBA. His continued dominance got drowned out by Providence's awful season, but he put together quite a career in the BE.

If Taft goes Krauser goes. There is no way Krauser stays at Pitt without Taft being there.

gotta go w/ warrick. the best footwork of any college post player in quite a while. add in uncharted athleticism. could be seeing a modern kevin mchale.
charlie v - will be a decent pro. probably a 6th man.
taft = stromile swift. great athleticsm, average skill.
krauser - shouldn't leave. probably will stick with a team, but pg is a tough spot to break into the pros.

One of the reasons for why I also think CK is leaving is because of his age. I never noticed it, but one of my friends told me today that he was 25 years old. So, thats another reason for him possibly leaving.
