Following potential 2012 draftees

Actually impressed by Teague's 2nd half performance, showed he isn't as mentally weak as I thought.

Jones on the other hand, I just don't like that dude and today showed why. He is an emotional baby.
 
I missed the second half but K-G looked great. Cody Zeller looks to be close to his brothers level already.

Davis doesnt look quite so great when he plays against good comp. Dont get me wrong PKM he is a very good player, but not much difference between him and Cody.

Teague had 15pts, 2 asts, and 0 TO's in the 2nd half. Great half for him. Maybe it'll be a launching point for him.

Jones didn't even make the trip. The guy simply didn't show up for th egame, at all. Calipari said in the post-game that he didn't have time to try to figure out what was wrong with him .. that they were just going to have to bench him and try to pull the game out without him. Disappointed in his effort (none).

K-G always give 110%.

I wouldn't say Cody is as good as Tyler at this point, but has far more upside, imo.

No offense taken. He's 9 games into college and getting things figured out. He's a good one, though.
 
Well looks like we need to start talking about Wroten from Washington for our PG discussion. 23 points in 24 minutes against Duke. 6'5" and a good rebounder. Now his assist numbers not to great, but clearly doesnt have the talent around him that Marshall does.

Been following Wroten and keeping his stats. I'm just weirded out by the guy for some reason. He tweeted Calipari begging to come to UK and Cal wouldn't touch him .. not sure why .. Anyway, his FT shooting was enough to be a major head-scratcher. I'm not down on him, really, just want to see some consistency and leadership qualities. I think it's the latter that has me guarded about him.

He is looking more like a SG or combo guard. Despite the fancy passes, Wroten has an appalling .75 assist to turnover ratio. Even Brandon Knight was at least above water. His scoring numbers have been fantastic though.
 
I'm just hoping ONE of these PGs turns out to be lottery worthy by the end of the season. If it's Wroten, then cool.
 
From Chad Ford on Harrison Barnes (excerpt):

Davis isn't the only top prospect that's struggling. North Carolina's Harrison Barnes (Rank: 2) is scoring the basketball -- but he's doing it all through jump shots. He lacks buckets at the rim, doesn't trust his handle, has a horrendous assist ratio (just 5 percent of Barnes' possessions end in an assist) and isn't rebounding (just 6.9 percent of missed shots). Those factors are all causing some alarm. If Barnes is just a jump shooter ... is he really worth a pick this high? A few GMs have Perry Jones, Jeremy Lamb and even Michael Kidd-Gilchrist ranked higher. We're not moving him off No. 2 yet, but he's in a tenuous position.

To be a superstar wing in the NBA you HAVE to be able to get to the rim at will. Glad someone high up finally noticed Barnes' inability to do this.
