Chriss impressing

From Jon Rothstein: "A year ago at this time, Marquese Chriss was considered to be a somewhat under-the-radar freshman heading into the Pac-12.
Now, sources are telling CBS Sports that he's likely to be selected anywhere from third to ninth in next week's NBA Draft --- seriously!

"He has a chance to be the best NBA big man that we've had at Washington," Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar said this week of the 6-9, 225 pound Chriss. "I'm not comparing him to Len Bias, but he does certain things on the court that remind of Len Bias. He has that type of ability."

A freak athlete, Chriss had moments of brilliance as a freshman at Washington and averaged 23.0 points and 7.5 rebounds in two Postseason NIT games.

Several NBA executives told CBS Sports that part of what is getting people excited about Chriss is his long-term potential.

"He's still just learning how to play," one executive said. "But two, three, four years down the road? Look out."

Some people have said "look out" about me but it wasn't in the positive sense.
