The timing on this stuff is just too questionable. Nobody said a word when it happened, and then the week of the draft this "story" breaks. Another GM is already contradicting it saying Hopkins was long gone by the time it happened.
Every year teams leak stuff the week of the draft and the media runs with it. The amazing thing is that any of these GMs think another GM is dumb enough to pass on a guy because of draft week rumor.
At this point any team thinking about drafting Hopkins in the first round probably knows more about him than his mother, and not media article is going to change a draft board 6 days out.
