He’s not the only player with an incomplete resume given his unconventional path, but given his fame will be poked and prodded more than the rest. “He’s inconsistent and erratic,” a Western Conference executive told Yahoo Sports. “But he has an elite IQ and he’s 6-foot-7.” “I worry about giving him the keys to my franchise,” an Eastern Conference personnel director said. “But he’s a worker and handles pressure so well.” – via Vincent Goodwill @ Yahoo!

Sources pointed to Toppin as New York’s trade-up target. So, why would the Cavs, linked for weeks to the Dayton high-flyer, make this move? As of Monday, when the Cavs gathered to finalize their big board, they seemed undecided about who to choose at No. 5. Late Tuesday night, one source said there were three or four guys the Cavs were deliberating between. A few of those options, of course, are considered more likely than others. – via Chris Fedor @ Cleveland Plain Dealer
