Will there ever be another Kevin Love or Cole Aldrich (AMERICANS)?

Here's a decent Cole Aldrich video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4trsJcFNkw

I like 1:45, and the end of the video showing the stunned afflete.

Here is a profile of a Lithuanian kid, Donatas Motiejunas. http://www.nbadraft.net/players/donatas-motiejunas

He is a good athlete and is expected to be drafted very high in the 2010 NBA draft. NBADRAFT.net has him going third but he will be a top 10 pick for sure. He has surprising agility for such a big man. Also there are some video highlights on the page.

The Class of 2010 "might" be a down year for White bigs, but we still have our athletes from the '07, '08 and '09 classes!!

I don't normally follow college basketball recruiting, but my alma mater signed Daniel Alexander out of Dripping Springs TX for class of 2010. 6'-8" power forward, ranked 18th PF in the country and 89th overall on the Rivals 150.
