I'm now going to rewatch the game from last nght.

No thank you to Dakari Johnson.

 

[Dr. Jones]

No thank you to Dakari Johnson.

That was pretty random. Of all things to say.. why that?

I like his size but his speed and hands have not been impressive in this game.

 

[Hartsock]

No thank you to Dakari Johnson.

So you think he doesn't look great either ?

 

[fishonjazz]

Impossible. Most of the top players in this draft are going to UK, and they are all position-less. The draft is weak at every position besides the position of not having a position.

Do you follow or do I need to ring up J.C.?

Lol.
repped.

 

[orangello]

So you think he doesn't look great either ?

Yes. He us bigger than everyone else but that is the only thing that he has over the other guys in the game.

When I watch him I see flashes of Jefferson and that passes me off and scares me at the same time.

 

[orangello]

Aaron Gordon looked impressive.

I was most pleasantly surprised by Dakari Johnson. But I also had almost no expectations for him, especially with WCS coming back.. having said that all that.. let's see what Mike DiNovo said about Dakari after the game.

Of the six future Wildcats in the game, Johnson made the most positive impression in his minutes on Wednesday.


Mike DiNovo/USA Today Sports

Aaron Harrison finished with six points and five assists for the West.
As the newest member of Kentucky's class of 2013, the 7-foot center probably had the most to prove to scouts in looking to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that he's the nation's top post prospect in the senior class.

With his low-post scoring in Wednesday's game, Johnson did just that. He was almost flawless in his technique down low; he sealed with physicality to create deep position on the block, was patient enough to read the defense and then made a power move (showing the ability to finish with either hand over either shoulder) with very nimble footwork.

Even more impressive was the way that the big man moved up and down on the court, especially side to side defensively, on the bigger NBA-sized court.

Next season, Johnson will give Kentucky coach John Calipari a post player who can score with his back to the basket and physically exhaust opponents. Not only will Johnson and Willie Cauley-Stein improve by practicing together, but they should create a feared one-two punch in the SEC.

With this class being so good he just looks really behind. He did look like the best big man there but that is not saying much IMO.

Not really. 4.5

I think your assessment was pretty poor, tbh. Nothing about that game suggested he was behind. Now to defend your statements, you're more likely to be thinking of how he translates to the NBA .. whereas at this point I'm thinking the college level.

This part.

I agree at this point.. but like I said, I was pleasantly surprised in that game.

I just found it odd that of all the players there.. u called out one of the better players of the night.

I just want to put something in this thread before it's 400 pages long.

Those were my observations. I'm no expert but I just thought that others looked much better, but maybe I just have too high of an expectation of UK bound players.
