Following potential 2014 draftees

I suppose missing one of those top two would then make free agency very important for us.

Well it already is i guess, we should have a thread for that as well.

Calipari told some close friends that last year's team that ALMOST beat Duke early in the season were high-fiving each other in the locker room because they felt it was a sign how good they would be.

Versus this year's team loses a close one to MIchSt and Cal said half the team was literally crying in frustration and that night ALL of them were in the gym practcing on their own to get better.

I actually wanted UK to lose at the end there just so they can learn from the experience.

Kinda like a mother watching her son fall and get up without helping him.

Honestly 1 win vs a team that's top3 worst coached teams in the league doesn't make the Jazz playoff contender. Right now the Jazz are the worst team in the league by quite a big margin. And that has 3 reasons:
1) Burke injury
2) Bigs playing inconsistent
3) No bench(That may change though with injured guys returning)

yep there were qualifiers to what I said.(That right now I don't see us hitting)
 
So Highschool/NCAA experts what's your position towards all these kids selecting their colleges today?

Jahlil Okafor + Tyus Jones -> Duke(shocker,lol) Okafor btw has longer arms than Anthony Davis.
Cliff Alexander to Kansas(Weren't you talking how he's staying in Chicago?)
Stanley Johnson to Arizona(I remember PKM saying something that he's a lock to go to Kentucky)

I understood your proposal to further unload as a "Oh ****, we may start winning and don't get that safe top4 pick"

Yeah I just wanted to clarify again that I don't think it will be necessary, but if it becomes so I would do it without hesitation.

So how do we feel about this line up?

Burke - Exum - Hayward - Kanter - Favors

Good enough starting 5 to win it all?

Maybe. There's still a lot we don't know about each one of them, especially Exum who could possibly be the top dog on that team.

I'm very intrigued by Exum, I just need to see more before I can have a real opinion. But the fact that Ford STILL has him ranked above Jabari definitely makes you pause.

High school recruiting is a crapshoot. All of them are good players though. Big fan of Stanley Johnson. He'll be a very good wing player.
 
Also a big fan of Johnson. He has been a lean to AZ for a couple months now.. I do think he was a near lock to UK about 4 or 5 months ago.
This recruiting class has been the weirdest I've ever seen. More pkg deals, decommits, recommits, kids picking up one hat (as a joke) just to set it down and pick up another... I've not enjoyed this particular recruiting class.

I am shocked SHOCKED if Okafor has longer arms than Davis... that said, Duke is gonna be tough as **** with Jones and OKafor.

And with Parker staying another year at Duke to play with them. Ouch!

Recruiting just sucks. Kids have handlers, AAU hasn't helped anything, I just don't enjoy the process that much.

I'm hoping Justise Winslow decides to go to Duke. I love his game. Somewhat reminds me of MKG, but not as talented.
 
As of right now, what is the risk that one or more of Wiggins Randle, Parker, Exum doesn't declare for the draft.

Getting the worst record, drawing fourth, and having all four off the table would make me sad:(

Randle - 100%
Wiggins - 100%
Parker - 90%
Exum - 100%

imo
