Love what the Cs did in the draft, both moore and johnson can at least push for playing time, with johnson having a good shot at eating up some minutes.

Out of the guys who are undrafted FA's I would like to see the Cs give Jamie Skeen a shot at a roster spot. Seems like the type of shorter 4 who fights his way into a nba job and helps with toughness off the bench.

Another guy would be Greg Smith, big guy who came out to early (tiny gallon 2.0) with time could develop into a servicable big man

Agreed. He's not as good defensively as Tony Allen (not the same level of athleticism), but he's still a very good defender with smarts and a good jump-shot. It's amazing he wasn't drafted. Maybe some injury we don't know of.

Ben Hansbrough.  6'3 2 guard who can shoot lights out.  Not very athletic, but he will always out work you. Malcolm Thomas, Matt Howard, Rick Jackson, David Lighty, Demetri McCamey, Jacob Pullen, Scotty Hopson.  Plenty of guys the C's should send an invite too.
do it

Michael Dunigan sounds intriguing.

I assume Matt O'Donnell did not get drafted.

Hansbrough, McCamey and Hopson are really good players. Maybe if we need to bring in a tall guy whom we can develop we could bring in Mike Tisdale. A legit 7'1" who may help us in the middle for the 3rd unit.

That's not hockey -- the third unit in basketball just doesn't play :)

The real question is : if there is a lockout, do we even get a chance to look at these guys?
