Hey Moron: 1) NBA projections have absolutely no bearing on SEC Basketball player of the year, I know that's how u kensuck fans get your rocks off for some reason 2) what protections are you looking at because most have him at the tail end of the first round going to a good team or beginning of the second. 3) get off our board and go worship your greaser cheating coach and one and dones that are using your school like a 2 bit hooker to get paid. Great institution of higher learning UK has become.Is that why Monk is projected to be a lottery pick and Thornwell isn't even projected in the top 2 rounds in all the mock drafts? Monk plays circles around Thornwell and the NBA SCOUTS all see it. You basketball neophytes in South Carolina are blind. Stick to football, oh wait, you suck at that too. Well, you do have baseball going for you.
