Following potential 2012 draftees

[Dr. Jones]

Are they confusing Doron Lamb with Jeremy Lamb? Be interesting to see if Teague could be our PG of the future.

I've gone on the record many times that I am skeptical of all PG's in 2012 AND 2013 .. just none that have that 'can't miss' look to their game. If I had to choose one I'd take Teague right now .. but PG's are going to become a premium, in my opinion .. assuming there's an NBA.

So, Cy .. who, if anyone, you planning on watching tonight between the UK/KU players, OSU/UF players, and Dukes one player?

Any other thoughts on Kabongo? I am recording the game at home so I can watch it after work.

Kidd-Gilchrist
Davis
Teague
Rivers

Nice list.

I'm sure that it is obvious from my other posting but I am also interested in Kabongo.

I'm not able to watch him in tonights game, but from what I've watched the past couple years ..

Very quick, nice athlete, great passer, good bb IQ ..
Over-penetrates, too many to's, needs to add strength so he can finish in traffic ..

I like him a lot and wanted him to come to UK .. excited to watch him mature this year.

Just listen to this song, it describes his game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmkEVjdemMA

The matchups to keep an eye on ..

Teague vs. Taylor (youngster vs. vet .. both potential lottery guys)
Jones vs. Robinson (near clones of one another .. both potential lottery guys)

I predict Kidd-Gilchrist in his first big-time collegiate game will be the MVP .. although he'll likely be guarded by Releford, who's a great defender.

Thanks for giving me more specifics to watch for.

It was better than the John Wall song.......

I can't defend that .. If I tried it would be reminiscent of Boozer defense.

nbadraft.net (I know) just updated, now have 5 UK players in 2012 lottery;

#2 Davis
#7 Teague
#11 Kidd-Gilchrist
#12 Terrence Jones
#14 Doron Lamb

... wow. Reminder of the game tonight against #11 Kansas.

Just as an aside, in this NBADraft.net mock, the Jazz would actually get GSW's pick, meaning Gilchrist or a similar player would also be there for us as well as the #12 pick....

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I'm looking at Gilchrist too. He looks like he has Andre Iguodala potential, with slightly more consistent offense.

I'm also keenly interested in Beal and Quincy Miller.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I'm excited to see Gilchrist for sure. Hopefully he attempts some outside shots.

Obviously need to see more of all of these guys, but Gilchrist, Miller, and Beal are certainly three studs that should be fun to watch.

My Spartans looking good early here against Duke. Nix, Green and Payne are some ****ing guys that could pose major problems for teams. Unfortunately, none are great offensively (even as skilled as Green is) and they'll often struggle, like they did against NC, for 60-65 points.

Payne's body, for a sophomore is very nice and reminds me of Theo Ratliff's. Dude looks very tall (6'10's his list height I think) and even moreso, long. If he can develop a decent offensive game, he could have a decent NBA career. Well, if there ever is another NBA game.

Gooooooooooooooooooooooo Sparty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to see ESPN have a meltdown, hahahahahaha! Duck Fook!

Buford and Sullinger looking good tonight. I think William Buford is one of the most underrated players and will be a great pick. Beal looks decent but has been slowed down since they put Buford on him.
