I hope Southall gets a chance to go up against Yemi. We know he can dominate that matchup!

Carl Krauser posted a double-double Wednesday in his first game at the Portsmouth (Va.) Invitational Tournament, scoring 11 points and handing out 12 assists for Norfolk Naval Shipyard in an 84-75 victory over Tidewater Sealants. Krauser, a Pitt senior who led the Panthers in scoring and assists in his final college season, played 30 minutes. He shot 3 for 7 yesterday, including 1 for 1 from 3-point range, and he added two rebounds and one steal. He also committed four turnovers. The tournament, which runs through Saturday, is designed to showcase selected college seniors for various NBA scouts. Paul Miller of Wichita State led Norfolk Naval Shipyard with 19 points. Nick George of Virginia Commonwealth and Jai Lewis of George Mason each added 16 and Mike Hall of George Washington scored 12. Michael Southall of Louisiana-Lafayette grabbed a game-high 10 rebounds.

I got word this week that Dewayne and Mike were selected to participate at the 2006 NBA pre-draft camp, which is going to be held this year in Kissimmee, FL, at the Disney's, Wide World of Sports Complex... Last year the NBA pre-draft camp was held at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL. Many NBA GM's wanted to move the camp from downtown Chicago, IL. The NBA pre-draft camp will be June 6-10... There will be a total of six teams with 10 to 11 players a team. A total of 64 players so far... 22 of the players on the pre-draft rosters played at the PIT tournament this spring in VA... There will be 16 underclassmen, 42 Div-1 seniors, and 4 International players in camp. At this time Mitchell and Southall are expected to be on the same team at camp... The only other player selected to participate at the pre-draft camp from Louisiana is 6'7 PF Paul Milsap from Louisiana Tech... We all know that Paul younger brother signed with the Cajuns basketball program this spring... Milsap agent is Lafayette native and ex- Holy Rosary basketball star, Raymond Brothers.... See you all later! www.serbb.com

IS there any news on Southall's workouts so far? Does he still have a good shot at going late?

I noticed that NBA.com didn't even have Southall listed as a prospect.

I seen something a few days ago but I can't remember where. And it said that Southall only bench pressed 185 2 times which isn't good from a center.

Southall only bench pressed 185 2.

Wasn't he in jail for a year? Seriously though that shouldnt affect his draft position, I wouldn't think.
Thanks for the update. I hope he gets his chance somewhere.

It's wrong to compare Southall and Mitchell because Mitchell is such a freak athletic.
