What body of evidence?

Look, I have no problem with kids going early if they want to. I also have no problem with a kid staying to try to get better, win more games and get more schooling. Both situations are a win for the kid in my book.

No, no, no.

I'd wager a bet that I've watched more of Larkin than anybody else on this board. He's very fun to watch, and improved dramatically from his freshman to sophomore year. With that said, he's a very erratic player. He has some moxy, but sometimes too much. If you think Mo plays hero ball...well then you probably wouldn't like Larkin.

He's not tremendously athletic, but he's very quick. Quick hands, quick feet, gets in passing lanes well, seems to have fairly good instincts. Average passer for a PG at best. Not a great shooter, but can make an open shot. Average to below average length and size. I don't think he'll ever be anything more than a backup.

I've watched him more than you. I study his game because myself I am a 5'10 PG and Larkin is a good shooter, below average size, and I think he will be a mid-late first-round pick this year. Larkin is the real deal, should have been the ACC Player of the Year.

Was Hantlers the guy you pleaded the Mods to bring back from the "banned bin" ?

I can see why, he's adding a lot of substance to this board with just the right amount of heat. Enough to be spicy, but not enough to burn your tongue.

I'm liking this so far.

It's possible, but I watched damn near every single game they had.

Don't get me wrong, I love Larkin. I think he's a great college PG. To be a 5'11 PG in the NBA though...you gotta be special.

Look at Ty Lawson. Ty Lawson was freaking incredible, and I loved watching him play. Quite possibly one of the quickest guards I've seen play in a while, aka, Larkin ain't got **** on his quicks. I mean, Lawson >>> Larkin. Even Lawson got drafted in the middle/lower half of the draft. It took Lawson a while to adjust to the NBA.

Now I know that if you look at just his percentages, Larkin looks like a good shooter. He's just alright in my opinion though. Put anybody with some length on him, and he's gonna struggle. He won't be able to finish at the rim in the NBA. He's not a distributor. Simply put...he's a backup PG in the NBA.
