Cle and NBA draft

[ShockerFever]

@GottliebShow: Cleanthony Early is 24, played the 4 at Wichita State and is a high volume guy that doesn't play a ton of D-those are reasons for the slip

@AndyGlockner: .@GottliebShow rolling out his irrational Wichita State hate in June. SMH

Someone refresh my memory. What NBA team did that gobstopper play for?

Gotta feeling Cle's 24.6k followers is about to jump in NYC.

He was there at the Barclay Center, but I think his draft party was in a Champions Club type spot in the arena.

Jesus, it's been like 3 months and the guy still can't let it go. Us and Bob Lutz must've really pissed him off.

The truth really stings some people.

For months we have watched the Mock Drafts. Tonight we watched the Mockery Draft.

We live rent free in his head.

Granted, it's only a studio apartment...

You need to shut your dirty mouth. He was the number-one pick in the draft....okay, it was the top pick in the USBL Draft to that powerhouse, the Oklahoma Storm, but he was #1. You need to respect that basketball greatness.

Doug Gottlieb @GottliebShow 15m

Cleanthony Early is 23, played the 4 in college, high volume guy and not seen as a good enough "3&D" defender- reason for slip


Hmmmm....@ShockerFever:, Gottlieb's tone sounds a lot like somebody I have on ignore...what say you?

It's really amazing how focused that guy can stay on being such a piece of ****.

The best part is that now Knicks fans are firing back at him, even though most of them have no idea who he is

[pinstripers]

The Knicks used one of the picks they got from Wednesday's trade with Dallas on Wichita State forward Cleanthony Early.

The Wichita State Shockers lost just once last season and were led by Cleanthony’s 16.4 points per game. He shot 48.6 percent from the field and 84.4 percent from the line during last season, and even finished strong against the Kentucky Wildcats, making 12-of-17 from the field in the season-ending loss. Early likely took advantage of his the offensive-friendly system and he’ll take some time before he’s able to contribute on a regular basis. For a team that hasn't had much to celebrate, the Knicks might have gotten the steal of the draft if Early can live up to the hype.

[WSUwatcher]

Add Xavier Thames at 59th (of 60 picks) to the guys who lasted a long time. Early may indeed have a chip on his shoulder going in, but he won't be the only one.

Also, going to a team with a fellow former Shocker who had to work his way up via a harder path than being drafted in the second round should give Cle the benefit of someone he can talk to who knows how it's done.

[AZ Shocker]

Yep. Come to Wichita. Get passed over in the draft for thise "Wild and Crazy Guys!!!!"

Lol ~ but seriously...having "our" guy play for Phil Jacksons team in NEW YORK CITY could and would go a LONG ways in recruiting kids from the nations BIGGEST market. Cle will be a great ambassador for Wichita St. playing in NYC.

Congratulations Cle!!!! You're a true WINNER and will do GREAT in the NBA!!!!!!
