Draft Buzz: Channing a top 10 guarantee?

SnowCat · 05-27-2005

Channing Frye to Golden State

A couple weeks back, NBADraft.net received a tip that Channing Frye had a promise in the top 10. The likely team has recently been identified as Golden State. And while Frye would be a bit of a reach at 9, he's a bigman with touch and the size to play center.

There are obviously players with more upside that will be available at 9, but Golden State wants to continue on their upward swing as soon as possible (ie playoffs). Frye should be able to contribute as much right away as any big man in the draft not named Andrew Bogut. And with just Adonal Foyle in the middle, the Warriors are desperate for a center.

Marvin to Atlanta and more;

From what Josh told me a few weeks ago, Frye has a promise from the Knicks #8, so Golden State may be outta luck.

Promises don't mean much, in fact most are typically a smokescreen, but But back-to-back top-10's is a great sign for Channing.

Sorry if this has already been posted but the Sunday edition of the LA Times said this about CHanning: "There are reports that Frye has a promise in the top 10. His agent, Rob PEinka told the No. 11 Clippers and No. 12 Magic that Frye wouldn't work out for them."
