Following potential 2013 draftees

Thinking about this today. I'd be happy getting burke in this draft seeing as we don't rely on penetrating pg in our offense.
 
I've seen only a few games with Shabazz, and he still looks to me like a Paul Pierce/Joe Johnson type of talent. Has All-Start potential, but doesn't seem like he'd single-handedly change a franchise. That said, he'd look quite good complementing Favors, Kanter and Burks. =)
 
Shabazz was good today with 23 points, 10 rebounds. I don't know how he continues to put up 20 point games when he hardly ever touches the ball.

I don't think he'll single-handedly change a franchise the way a Lebron/Durant would, but I really like him. He's certainly a guy you'd be giddy over, if your team drafted him. I'd take him over anyone on the Jazz, except maybe Favors.
 
Jabari was a little disappointing today. What's more disappointing is that he wan't playing Wiggins like PKM said.
 
Not sure I would say 'Bazz isn't getting many touches.. 63 shots in the past 4 games is quite a few, actually. I find it more interesting he's been able to score 20+ in spite of Howland's offensive philosophies.

He gets lots of field goal attempts because of his offensive rebounds. In terms of the number of plays UCLA runs for him, it's not as many as it should be. Trust me, it's very frustrating watching at times.

I've watched. It seems they run way more for Powell..
Even though it's not as exciting to watch, it's probably good, in the long term, for 'Bazz to learn to go get the ball and create for himself.

Yeah. One thing I've noticed about Bazz, though, is he's actually really good at moving without the ball. Lots of his baskets come from curling off of screens for catch and shoot opportunities; baskets within the flow of the offense. Very good to see.
 
Pre-announced it correctly. #1 C in the incoming class for next year just chose UK on ESPNU. For the one person who cares. LOL

Congrats. We were worried about your reputation after the whole Jabari fiasco.

It's tough because the kids simply change their minds. I've gotten every UK recruit right since joining this site and I think Jabari was the only one I missed. The funny thing is I predicted Duke in my private forum and said that's all I'm hearing, then all of a sudden, I got credible info that Jabari told all the coaches he had decided on MSU and was set to announce .. he changed him mind, obviously.
 
***Gloat Alert!!!***

UK's class for next year .. SO FAR.

#1 PG
#1 SG / #2 SG (can easily play SF)
SF is still open (will either sign #1 Wiggins or move James Young, #2 SG, to the SF spot)
#5 PF (and still on Randle, #1 PF, and Aaron Gordon, #3 PF)
#1 C

Also have a stretch 4/5 that is a 4yr filler, ranked around 100..
