[txsaluki05]

Just saw the link/pic on espn.com's cbb front page, but it's an insider only story. Anyone agree/disagree with this?

O'Bryant could very well be the best true center that is in the draft this year. If he waits a year, he could be the second or third best with Noah and Greg Oden. This is why I think he'll probably go this year.

I just don't get the fascination with POB. Sure he's 7', but everytime I saw CU play him, Tolliver hung with him just fine and had a much better game 2 of the 3 times they met. I just don't see it at all.

I'm with you to a degree with the fascination of POB. Here's the deal tho...the NBA see's potential, not results in college. You can't teach 7' and despite needing some work, he's got great foot work, which is also tough to teach, you have it or you don't. He's got a nice touch on the ball, and has some decent post moves. So, no he wasn't the best player in the country, probably not even in the Valley. BUT! He has the most upside or potential of any player in the vally in a long time, because of his genetics and unteachable talents such as foot work, being 7', touch and coordination. He's a project no doubt, but the base pacakge is there.
