Thurman isn't worth the risk. Anyone remember the Milwaukee Bucks drafting Scot Skiles, who also had a drinking problem at Michigan State? During his first week in Milwaukee he got nailed for drunk driving. Had to go to rehab and all that. I mean, who wants to have to deal with that?

And the Crowder guy has had a number of knee surgeries--which is of more concern than drinking mishaps.

I say pass on both of these guys.
