Bogut broke his ankle Wednesday night. I assume he's done for the year. I knew that Voodoo for Dummies book I picked up at a garage sale would pay off some day.

What the heck are they thinking. It looked as if Roy dominated Noah last time they played.

I was at the Sixers-Pistons game in Philadelphia on Saturday. Greg looked pretty broad -- seems to have added some bulk. He had 6 points and 5 rebounds in something like the first 5 or 10 minutes of the game, and was easily handling Elton Brand. Of course, the Pistons, being as horrific as they are, got blown out and Greg wound up sitting for much of the second quarter and all of the fourth. He did finish with a double-double though.
Man, the Piston need some help...

Here's an article on Roy and his favorable chances of making the All-Star team as the backup center behind Howard for the East squad. There are some good quotes from Roy about the benefits of staying at Georgetown for all four years and how he feels he's the best passing big man in the NBA.

I've had a mental block all night. Tonight's twitter trivia question asked how many Hoyas are on an active NBA roster. Roy, Greg, and Dajuan are the only ones coming to mind, but the correct answer was "four" apparently.
Any help?

They might be counting Vernon Macklin.

The only way its four is if they are counting Jeff Green, which is wrong.

Edited to add that ESPN counts a total of three Hoyas in the league: espn.go.com/nba/players/_/college/46

ESPN Insider feature -- Sophomore 20: Year 2 rankings
Good write-up on Greg, who is listed at no. 2 behind Griffin, and the writer (Thorpe), separated the top two from all others. Excerpt:
2. Greg Monroe, Pistons How good has Monroe been this year? Not good enough to get Detroit out of the bottom five of the league, unfortunately, but I'll tell you this: If Detroit was a better team, then Blake Griffin would have some competition for "best of class."
Monroe is top 12 in the NBA in PER and offensive rebound rate and top 20 in overall rebound rate. And while Detroit is an awful defensive team, only Ben Wallace is playing better defense than Monroe, who has to carry an offensive burden far more than Wallace does.
There are still questions about how Monroe would perform on a better team, or if he's good enough to be a top-three player on a good team. But all things considered, no one in this class besides Griffin can touch Monroe right now.

Greg is part of the 2010 draft class, Griffin is part of the 2009.

From what I can tell, it seems like Roy is pretty likely to make the ASG, while Greg has an outside shot. The most likely way that they could both get screwed is if the coaches decide that Bosh is the back-up center, which is somewhat preposterous, but possible.
