Gordon committed to Arizona this year, I just happen to live in AZ. Will be keeping a close eye on him.

Willie Cauley-Stein - keep your eyes open, bros. He may not be a need, but yikes he could be good.

I was one of WCS biggest supporters this year, as you know. Scary thing is, dude has only been playing basketball for 2 years. Imagine if he was playing his whole life.

Yep.. and that vid is from early season last year. Damn he could be REALLY good. I preferred him on the court last year to Noel.. because he has offense.

AZ is gonna have a damn good team this year, bro.. and a great coach. Have fun and we'll catch you in the F4.

Early final four prediction:

UK vs AZ a rematch of that great championship game..

Kansas vs Duke Wiggins vs. Jabari in a battle of the ages..

UK vs Kansas in the championship, UK shuts down Wiggins and wins while everybody wants Jabari now that Wiggins disappeared in the championship game..

No doubt, Harrison is the reason why we shouldn't have drafted a point guard and just signed one in free agency as a rental for a year.

Well, then we're counting on finishing with the 4th or 5th worst record. There's also a good chance the youngsters have good seasons and the Jazz finish in the 8-12 range. In that case, Burke might be the best PG in either draft class we could have selected.

As a Kentucky fan and a fan of Andrew (as well as someone who has been watching him for three years already).. I am cautious about my optimism until I see him play this year.

I know that's obvs and no fun, but I felt it needed to be said.

Agree. That's the case with all of these guys. We haven't seen them play at the next level. Well, I guess we do have a little more on Exum - and that's why he's moved up so far.

From your keyboard to God's ears. Godspeed.

Randle is intriguing. Looks like he can certainly shoot. Is he quick enough to play some as a big SF or is he strictly a PF?

He can play SF but doesn't need to. He's 6'9 and 246lbs.. he might wreck more havok as a do-it-all PF than a SF. But, yeah.. he has the shot, handles, and enough quickness. I just think he may pose an even bigger matchup problem as a PF.

In terms of helping himself in these early rankings by his play in the FIBA U-19 tournament. Once college basketball starts, the US players will get more press and Exum may slide a bit...until the combine and workouts.

Oh, I see what you mean. Thanks for the explanation.

The reason I brought that up is Utah would have a MONSTER rotation at the 4/5 with Kanter, Favors, Gobert and Randle. But if we project Gobert as the backup to Kanter and Randle to Favors, the only way that makes sense is if Randle can pick up 12 mins or so at SF. And if that's the case, I say keep all 4 instead of looking to trade a big.

There are so many directions Utah can go in the draft!

I don't see Randle as a realistic option for the Jazz. Likely sandwiched between Parker and An Harrison.. (both needs).. I see him as a player being drafted elsewhere.

If the draft stays the way it is now at the top (Wiggins, Parker, Randle, Exum etc.) and the Jazz had the #3 pick, it would be awfully hard to pass up a talent like Randle. Given the internal debate we heard about some not believing Favors and Kanter can play together, maybe Randle would be the optimal player at PF, with the Jazz then shopping Kanter or Favors.

Have to say I agree... even though it contradicts my earlier statement. Randle may be a clear BPA at that point.
 
Am I crazy for liking Exum as much as anyone outside Wiggins?

Darft analysis isn't really my thing
