Katz on ESPN said that if the top 5 picks are as expected (Wall, Turner, Favors, Cousins, Johnson in some order), that multiple sources are indicating that Golden State may go with Ekpe Udoh. Seemed to suggest that the Pistons would be thrilled to get Greg at 7, but again, I feel kinda "eh" about that...

The possibility of ekpe udoh being selected above greg is absurd.

Before NBA draft, Georgetown's Greg Monroe is trying to ignore the rumor mill - W. Post Excerpt Criticized for not taking over games often enough in his two seasons at Georgetown, Monroe said wouldn't shy away from pressure situations in the NBA. He also added that Coach John Thompson III's Princeton offense did not restrict him in college.
"The offense of Coach Thompson didn't stop me from shooting. I chose not to shoot when I could have," Monroe said. "People make it seem like that's all I want to do is pass, but just like anybody, I want to make that last shot. I think at this level, I'm going to have to make that shot."

Did anyone watch Monroe's draft video on NBA.com? He says his dad taught him to play left-handed, but that he's actually right-handed. Had not heard that before. ...

Greg goes 7 to Detroit. I'd rather him there than Golden State, but Ekpe Udoh at 6 is laughable.

Congrats to Greg......never been much of a Pistons fan, but with two Hoyas, I guess I can try!! Still wish the Thunder would get one more to go with Jeff.....they are MUCH easier to like. How about Jeff at SF, Roy at C and Greg at PF. Somebody ought to be able to make that happen!
Anyway, Greg should be in a pretty good situation on a pretty solid team for where they drafted. GS is a mess and Greg should be glad he missed out on them.....Udoh?? Really??
