Calvin Newell is a 5 star talent.

he had offers from WVU Baylor and UF ..... those coaches no a little bit about talent
 
I laugh at the attacks on me on this board. No matter what topic I bring up the stalkers appear to try and shoot it down. It says something about them, not about me.

Notice I don't spend any time trying to discredit other opinions. I'm not a loser.

Now that was funny.

Can you go to prep school a 2nd year if you still don't have your SAT after the first?
Newell sounds like a prime example of why the Juco ranks suck now.
10 years ago this kid would have been lighting it up last year at a Juco.
Now he's still trying to get his SAT.
 
Judging by his offers he seems like a gamer. Hopefully he can qualify.
 
If he didn't have a realistic shot at qualifying, why would we even offer him?

I talked to a Baylor coach about Newell. They were high on him. At the time they were recruiting him they were unsure about Lace Dunn's decision on staying or going pro. They thought Newell compared favorably to Curtis Jerrells. Should be a good player. Congrats on the pick-up.

That's exactly what this post is...trying to discredit other opinions.

FWIW, though, I don't think you are a loser. I just think you are kid trying to convince message board posters you are something that you aren't. Wait, maybe I need to reconsider that first part.

zero chance- he should be picked between 10-20 in the first round. It would not surprise me to see the Thunder pick him. That would be a great fit for Ekpe and the Thunder given the offensive pieces that they have.

I don't think it's possible to have too many long 6'10" post players who block shots and rebound at a high rate. Neither is an ideal NBA center, but they're both an upgrade over Krstic. Presti is really big on size-skill ratio and loves long athletes, and it's easy to see why if you've watched the Thunder's team defense against the Lakers. Udoh would be a good fit for the Thunder if he's still available.

Plus its obvious Presti believes in keeping the post open so there is plenty of room for cutters and dribble drives. Udoh fits the bill, for sure, but I doubt he'll be there at pick #19. Not to hijack a compelling post, but I think they might actually take James Anderson or Larry Sanders. If they don't have a trade or a euro in mind, I'm not sure who they get at #19. Orton, Monroe, Henry, Patterson, Whiteside, Montejunas, Davis...they'll all be gone by then.

Yeah, I don't see Udoh dropping to #19 either. The guy I really thought would be a good long-term fit was Orton, but that's suddenly looking unlikely as well. People were surprised to see him declare, but then he suddenly shot up on everyone's draft board from a potential mid-to-late first rounder to a lottery pick.

Between Anderson and Sanders, I think Sanders would be more likely for the Thunder for the same reasons as Udoh. I like Anderson, but I'm not sure how he fits with the Thunder already being pretty well set at the wing positions. Unless there is a wing who is clearly the best player available, I would expect Presti to take another potential project big or perhaps a Euro to stash away. He ahas several picks to work with, including two first rounders, and I don't expect him to keep them all, so I could see him moving up a few spots to get one of the guys you listed.
