I'm just not on board the VW hype train. He is too damn tall. Guys that height don't escape the injury bug.

I think the Hype is too much to pass on though. Especially if you're one of those bottom teams. Your talking about the potential to change the league. Like I posted above I like the approach they are coming at this with him. They have Dirks original trainer working on everything with him. He really focuses on balance of the body and let it fill out natural. Think of KD. Not putting on unnecessary weight to body. But I guess we'll see.

Yeah it might be too much to pass up. But if I were a GM and rated some other prospects highly, I'd have a significant urge to trade down. Moving down to take Scoot #2 and getting an additional first round pick(s) isn't the worst thing.

Of course if VW stays healthy and is as good as advertised, I'd be the butt of every joke and be #1 in most people's list of dumb draft decisions.

I don't buy all the hype either. I mean you can see it all on display. Don't get me wrong. I'm keeping my eye on him though.

I've heard this idea a few times over the years. I'm talking about trading down. It doesn't make sense to trade down. You can always trade the talent later on. Like the Sixers did.

You won't get the same return if you wait
