SQUEEZE the ORANGE....2012 LOGO Pre Draft News......The Top 15 Things going on as NBA HOPEFULS leave UIC and get to their PRIVATE WORKOUTS

The Pre Draft Camp at University of Illinois Chicago is almost a done deal and me being really close to a few contacts that attended the Pre Draft Camp let the BLUEDUDE in on a few things.

Let's get into the Top 15 Things you heard or at least the BLUEDUDE heard coming out of the Combine from some of my guys:

1. UK's @AntDavis23 (Anthony Davis Kentucky) didn't even show up for Drills on Thursday and why should he as he was the Overall #1 in 2011. Not taking anything away from Kyrie for mayor of Cuyahoga County Ohio but you know what it is.

2. Weber State's and East Bay Native PG Damian Lillard is going to hear the talk about his competition but played anyway and is a bona fide Top 10 pick. A kid from East Bay running....they don't run away in East Bay.

3. UConn's PF/C Andre Drummond impressed with his length and reportedly can't wait to play against UK's @AntDavis23 in Workouts. Dre the BLUEDUDE turned on the Camera this past season and saw nothing...and the Eye in the Sky doesn't lie.

4. Jordan and the Bobcats are shopping the #2 Overall and rumored to be looking at Bigs Only as in you guessed it UNC'S Tyler Zeller.

5. Royce White of the Twin Cities and PF in Johnny Orr Country in Ames, Iowa impressed as he needs to lose a few pounds but from what I saw he is more fluid and higher Basketball IQ of former Cyclone Bust Marcus Fizer. Which in this case go be good or bad.

6. Did anyone notice Syracuse WF Kris Joseph? Was he even at the Combine?

7. UK'S PG Marquise Teague played as he is trying to get his Stock up. There is 2 Reasons he left UK and One is because he wanted to and Two have you ever heard of Ryan Harrow? Look him up the BLUEDUDE doesn't miss.

8. The Mass Street Gladiator T-Rob of Rock Chalk Land says he wants to be the #1 pick and guess what T-Rob so do the other 3-4 Players that are surefire Top 10 Picks.

9.  Syracuse Sniper Dion Waiters a native of Philly stops Pre draft Workouts because it is rumored that the T-Rex Boys of Toronto have said that he won't get past us at #8. Dion go hard in Private Workouts with NBA Teams because where there is Smoke...there is also Fire.

10. Moe Harkless of the Johnnies is the youngest in the Draft but impressed many with his ability at 6'8" and 200+ el bees. I have been telling people he looks like former UConn Huskie Rudy Gay just way more aggressive.....like the George Jefferson without Weezy...Movin' on up.

11. Will someone take the Duo of Marquette Warriors who I think are heckuva Players in Darius Johnson-Odom and 2011-12 Big East Player of the Year Jae Crowder. Just like 2010-11 1st Rounder Jimmy Butler...Lead Man Buzz Williams and his Staff do not put Players in Boxes they let them Freelance under Direction and they can guard and play multiple positions. Grab you a Warrior in your Private Team Workout NBA Teams and enjoy.....

12. @AntDavis23 showed up to Media Availability in a Tee that had "Check My Stats" on it. Hey Soon to be Rook. King James wore that same Tee on a Family Vacation last Summer. Rule of Thumb #1.....it's a Copy Cat World but Don't copy anyone especially if your the #1 pick get your own style and your invited to participate with Team USA....OK.  Rule of Thumb #2....Don't where a Shirt and all you have is a National Championship which is Big Time Stuff but in the Logo when it is time to feed other People on your Meal Ticket. Checking Stats could get you in the D-League or over the Big Pond.  Come pick up the BLUEDUDE in that 2013 S-600 V12 with thew Panoramic Roof and we will talk some more and head to Morton's Steakhouse in Oak Brook, Illinois.

13. The Draft will not start at Pick #1 it will be at the bobcats Pick #2.....and Mike don't let Rod Higgins in the Draft Room let Rich Cho do all the drafting and then he will text you all to see what he did.

14. Does anyone know what the Team SEE RED is doing besides a Fire Drill?

15. Where does @RealDealBeal23 and @MikeGillie14 go...Chocolate City D.C. or C-town?

BONUS: Remember I told you about the X-Men of Ohio PG Tu Holloway.....he will be a Steal in the 2nd Round.....the best Mid-Range in the Draft and Feel.
