Larry Sanders Declares for NBA Draft

[Mercury]

Send him to Cleveland.. Lebron already knows his name.

Guess they would be able to have a good convo when the Cavs visit New York

Actually, I'd love for the Knick's to take Larry. Was talking to Natty about that the other day. I'd love to rep a NY Larry jersey. That way, when the Knick's get BronBron, they will still have good convo's.

Boom!

how about a Springfield Armor jersey

Lebron is going to the Nets. Maybe if Larry does slide to round 2 the Nets pick him up early in the round. Shouldn't be hard for him to earn a spot on that roster anyhow. Go Brooklyn!

It's all about money, just as other things in college balls nowadays.
Let wish him good luck in the league.

Wow. Lots of competition for the first round. It does not look good for Larry. Too late, cannot change his mind.

 

[Half-baked Mcbride]

10 guys the same general size as Larry, or bigger (6'10" +)
5 of those 10 have agents
then you factor in Senior Big Men...Jordan kid from Tulsa, Radford kid with the impossible Eastern European name, Dexter Pittman frrom Texas...maybe even that Samhan kid from St. Mary's or Zoubek from Duke

all equal a daunting task in recieving the attention of the League on draft night.

It's all gonna come down to individual workouts....ANY half-a$$iness by Larry or petulance could be devastating for his stock and career oppurtunities.

He better be ready to bring it EVERY time he's steps off the plane...or the hungrier wolves are gonna get fed.

I really wish Larry well and a high draft but can remember Kendrick Warren who many of us thought would make the NBA renting a room with his family and friends at the Marriot and never even got picked, what a dissapointmnet for Kendrick who could dunk with the best of them, run the court like a gazelle, rebound and defend but had no outside shot and strugled at the foul line. He did play some pro ball in Europe which should be an option for Larry as well if he is not drafted. Good luck to Larry, he appears to be a nice young man who works hard at practice and play.

Potential lockout isn't helping his cause. Nobody wants to come back for their senior year only to find out they have to wait a year for the NBA

Joey, Brandon, Ed, Brad, Skeen to start the year

That seems logical, but I'm thinking:
Joey, Ed, Brad, Veal, Skeen.

I think Brandon/Ed may split starting and PT based on opponent [Ed's D against better 2's] and Brandon for general O [and when hot Brando against everyone...just get him the ball]. I see Veal/McCarter sharing PT, and Reddic/DJ learning via PT behind Skeen.

Larry's D covering for our often poor guard D against penetrating opposition will be a very big loss. Larry's departure puts even more pressure on our guards, which is why I give the nod to Ed.

Larry's departure/impact on our team D is hard for me to even guess--it will be huge. We can replace Larry's points, but ALL starters are going to have to play D all the time, not just after panic induced focus from giving up yet another double digit lead. Larry's absence will not improve our D. I hope to be wrong, and look forward to team showing otherwise. If the Rams are going to have a 'tude, let it start with D.

Next year's Rams could finish anywhere from 1st to 5th in CAA; D and mental toughnes will determine where they end up. Sound familiar?

Greg Monroe officially put his name in the hat

Larry keeps getting pushed further back in Mocks I imagine him beasting in workouts though. Just have to be #30 or better though

Yes, Larry's listed at 19 and Thunder have 21st pick. Wouldn't it be wild if Larry was selected by O.K.C.!

Latest write up on Larry from draftexpress.com. As fans, it would be crazy if Oklahoma picks him, but I just don't see that happening.

Running the floor is where Sanders might be able to contribute the most to an NBA team right off the bat. He has amazing speed in the open floor and is thus a terrific target for his guards to throw long outlet passes to in transition, regularly beating opponents down the court. Sanders is also an excellent finisher around the basket thanks to his length and quick leaping ability, ranking amongst the top players in the NCAA in this category according to Synergy Sports Technology.

Sanders looks like a good bet for a playoff team drafting outside the lottery that can afford to wait and isn’t expecting immediate results, as he could develop into a solid rotation player down the road. He’ll have to be willing to put the work in, though, as he’s still quite a ways away from being a finished product. His measurements should be interesting, as he came into VCU listed at 6-9, but is now listed at 6-11.
