NBAdraft.net isn't working for me right now. I'll post it when I can load the stupid page.

7 is the highest I've seen him be predicted but I've also seen him be as low as 20 so who knows. The good and bad bout Toronto is that he gets to play with Chris Bosh, the bad is they Raptors really aren't good and its Canada.

hoopshype.com had some stuff about Charlotte really liking him at #13...I'm interested to know why there has not been an announcement about him hiring an agent...I've only heard that he is leaning that way.

I've also herd that hes going to hire an agent. I wish he would come back for his senior year and help us out. Anyone herd anymore on martellus's antics?

12thman, unfortunately I think he has already hired an agent, I believe the news came out last week :o , I wish he would have given us one more year but that is selfish on my part. As for Tellus, I think he just likes the attention :p , heard he said on TV the other day he is going to the draft camp, but I believe he will be here in the fall. For a kid right out of high school he sure finds his way to be on TV quite often. :p

[12thman]

personally i hope hes not a distraction to the team. If i played football and had to listen to all this i would probably be looking for him during practice. All it shows is that he is not a team player and just wants the attention. In a way i kinda hope he goes in the draft. He would be out of our hair. haha.

I'll put up with him as long as he gets it out of his system. If he doesn't, I have two words for him -- Kellen Winslow. That guy wanted to be on TV so bad, he'd say/do anything. He was able to back it up on the field though, Martellus has yet to prove it. If he fizzles in college, nobody will care if he declares for the NHL draft...so he's still got to get out and do something.

I agree it's childish, immature, and distracting, but again, he's the #1 kid at his position -- he's probably got a lot of bad influences telling him things or making him believe things that aren't true or good for him in the long run. There's a lot of people looking to ride coat tails of somebody like that.

I hope he's got a good enough head on his shoulders to settle down and take care of business, whether it be football or basketball -- for his sake.

Man, Tellus is one bad boy, I had no idea how talented he was, he can play football, basketball, and hockey ;) , you know I couldn't let that NHL one go :p . Fear not gentlemen, Tellus will come to Aggieland and do great things for our athletic department.

[Vlyrock]

I did NHL on purpose...meant that he could do anything crazy and nobody would care. :D

Updated May 31st - No agent???

Please stay!

I hope and pray that he goes 24th overall. :cheesy:

AWright worked out for Charlotte today along with Jarrett Jack (PG GTech) & Taron Downey (PG Wake Forest)...AWright is projected as a mid 1st round, Jack late 1st round & Downey undrafted...according to hoopshype.com - none have signed with an agent. :)

KatyJay, here's an article from The Batt that says Gillespie expects Wright to sign an agent in the next few days.

I have heard from several sources that he has already signed.

Here's an SA Express article saying he did sign. You have to sign up for access to read it though (it's free).

NBADraft.net has him going 7th overall as well to Toronto.

Apparently, he's going to be a good fit for them and since they're picking 7th, he's going 7th.

Amazing that the first Aggie is going to be a Top 10 Lottery Pick!
