What's new

Following potential 2013 draftees

I have to admit that I thought it was really dumb of Archie to try and dunk over that guy in the Duke game but I was also jealous because that sort of attitude seems to be missing from the Jazz.


(Enter video where Jefferson gets block after pump faking about a million times)
 
Mason Plumlee from Duke is doing really good this year. He can actually shoot FT's now, would be a good backup if we don't have Sap/Jefferson next year.
 
Actually watching Plumlee makes me kind of meh on him. Soft and isn't a great rebounder positioning wise.
 
I got the link just now. I went and looked at Goodwin's stat line and I was blown away!

20 pts 9 reb 8 ast 2 stl 1 blk

That is great!
 
I'll give a full report later, but yeah .. Goodwin is a beast. If picking right now, I'd go;

1) Noel
2) Goodwin
3) Poythress
 
Breakdown; (this is about players and projecting to the NBA, not UK .. I think we'll take some lumps, fwiw)

Goodwin - FEARLESS .. more so than anyone I've seen in a long time. Major motor on both ends, great defender, mean as hell, wants to hurt someone on a dunk, passing skills coming along lightning quick, decision-making already light years from where it was just a couple games ago.
22pts, 9rbs, 9asts (3to's), 2stls, 1blk (he had about 4 blks, but most box scores are showing 2 .. with ESPN showing 1) 8/14 from the field. He gets UP.

Poythress - Fantastic athlete for his size. Nice IQ. I think he's not passive, but rather just be patient adjusting to the size/speed of the game. Still a bit of an enigma to me. Having said that, he's the first player to score 20pts or more in 4straight games since Jodie Meeks in 2008.
22pts, 9rbs, 1ast (9of11 from the field)

Noel - HIGH energy, LOVE the guy. He's all over the court. Leaves his feet too early on d, but you can see that already correcting. GREAT passer, GREAT shot blocker, not nearly as raw offensively than people are saying. He'll likely go #1 imo.
18pts, 8rbs, 5asts, 5blks (9/11 from the field)

Willie Cauley-Stein - Huge upside, fantastic 7' athlete. Great hands and feet. Raw player, but ahead of schedule, imo. 1st rounder.
12pts, 8rbs, 1ast, 4blks

Other players had nice games, but these are the 1st rounders...
