Following potential 2014 draftees

Can't lie that I'm intriugied by his game. Just really bothers me that he is nearly 100% an off-ball player.

He's a very unusual player. If he was just a bit quicker and maybe had a better vert he would be so much safer. That being said, I think he could be an absolutely outstanding player off the bench initially, especially on a good team.

As for Reggie, he is nothing like McD except that they both can shoot.

I like Anderson too with the GS pick. What about the Adams kid at UCLA? Is he an NBA player? The guy who has nose-dived is LaVine. I don't think he is ready for the NBA even though he got a lot of hype early on. He hasn't really done much lately. I hope the Jazz keep both picks because I still think there are some decent players all through the 1st round and early second. There are plenty underrated players drafted mid to late 1st round.

Adams reminds me so much of Harden, although I don't think he will be anywhere near as good.

I disagree. You don't score 27 a game, and get over 40 multiple times if you are nearly a 100% an off ball player. For one, he scores a lot of points in the low post and would get even more down there if he didn't get doubled so often. This video is a good place to start to show he isn't nearly a 100% off ball player (or you could just watch his games) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTj-rYiNWVU although there are plenty more.

McBuckets is underrated. Really interested to see how he does in the tournament. Like really, really interested. Looking forward to Creighton & the Jayhawks the most.

Games I'm most looking forward to tomorrow: 1) LA Lafayette-Georgia St, 2) Michigan-Michigan St, 3) Florida-Kentucky, 4) Virginia-Duke

Givony agrees w/ me. Great minds think alike.

In the final 5 minutes of the Providence game, McDermott hardly even had the ball. You can't just give him the ball and expect him to score, he has to be ran through a ton of screens and what not.

@ 9:23, I'm not making this up.

Very skilled big man but low motor, no D and off-court red flags hurt stock

Givony on Shawn Long. Will have to watch to see if these things are present today.

Everyone knows that I've been down on this team for most of the season... having said that, Andrew appears to have had the light bulb turn on the last couple games. 3:1 A/TO ratio, averaging 8.5asts and making his shots, including killing it from the line. Too little too late? Maybe.

You think UK will get out of the 1st round?

No doubt the talent is there. If indeed the "light bulb" has turned on bit it is too little too late then maybe the Jazz can draft a steal in the early 2nd round.

I hope so. I got a tattoo on my leg that says "2014 National Champions Kentucky Wildcats".

I'd feel really dumb if they didn't win.

Sounds like a tough year for you, UK wise that is.

How's next year looking?

I only see two pros on UK, Randle and Young. I've never liked the Harrison twins. And WCS has been a ghost.
