What's new

Following potential 2012 draftees

Here are a couple of videos I found on Mitchell, the last being HS highlights. His body reminds me of a taller/longer Corey Maggette.

I like what I see in that he's aggressive, athletic, defensive minded, and pretty fluid in how he moves. A rich man's Ronnie Brewer with a better shot. He's shooting less than two threes a game but 45% is 45%. As a frosh. And this tells me he knows how to pick his spots rather than chuck.

Isn't he projected as a PF?
 
If Marshall can really make a defense respect him, then I want him and it's not really close. Sample size matters, though. It'll be interesting where this all goes for him from here.
 
Heading out to let the Big Easy drown my pain ..

Not really, this loss doesn't bother me much at all. I was pizzed/upset for about 15 minutes. Now it's time to go have some fun and let the real games begin on Thursday. Just saw Kendall had another good game. Kid is turning it/keeping it going at the right time. Feel good for Marshall.

I'm going to find you and harass you in real life. Be scared.
 
Kentucky and UNC both lost today? Interesting.

I haven't seen Marshall play live since the Duke game, but his numbers continue to impress me.

I'm also warming up to Barnes. Deep down, I'm hoping the Jazz's record keeps dropping, so we can get lucky and get our third #3 pick in a row to draft Barnes and solve our SF and shooting problems.
 
Wow .. it's that time of year. In the past week, 9 of the top 10 teams got beat. (Mizzou only one that didn't)

Cy: You really in Nawlins?

Most will disagree with you on Barnes. I'm not one of them. I flip-flop on MKG/Miller/Barnes more than the other positions, but I think Barnes is a good fit for Utah.

I think he's the best fit for us. I love MKG, but we need shooting more than anything, and that's obviously his biggest flaw. And Miller is too inconsistent. I would still take him, if our pick is between 8-12 though. But if destiny likes us again, and we get the #3 pick, we take Barnes. I wouldn't even have to think about it.

Yup, I was last night. On spring break and was visiting some friends. I'm in Baton Rouge tonight, may go to NOLA tonight to see some bands play, but probably wont't.
