Kidd-Gilchrist looked great, I just want to see him shoot...
Oh, and apparently Lamb lit it up tonight. 30 points I believe while shooting 4/5 from three.
Not sure what I thought of Barnes tonight. He didn't really show me anything new, but we'll see. 17 points is still impressive when you're surrounded by so much talent.

I admit I was surprised by Jeremy Lamb's production. If he keeps it up then he clearly deserves Top 10 .. still have my doubts he will.
Barnes kind of 'floats' .. not even sure what I mean, but I want him to TAKE OVER .. I want to see that (unless it's against UK).

"Floating" is a very good way to describe Barnes and very soon I'm going to get sick of waiting for him to explode. I want to see DOMINANCE. I know, I know, UNC runs a very team-oriented offense, and they have talent at every position, but Barnes is going to have even more talent around him in the NBA, so if he can't show me the ability to be "the guy" right now, then I'll be convinced he'll never be cut out for it in the pros. From what I've seen so far, I'd say he's much more suited to be a second option in the NBA. But I hope he proves me wrong.
As for Lamb, I'm starting to legitimately like him. He's got size, freakish athletic ability, outside shooting, driving ability, a willingness to play defense, leadership, work ethic, and most importantly, the killer instinct of a star. If he can be consistent, and prove that tonight was no fluke, I see no reason why top 5 is out of reach for him.

Davis had the most impressive game from a pure numbers standpoint in my opinion.
Should we draft him once we get the #1 pick? Would a front court of Davis and Favors be redundant or studly? I'm thinking the latter.

Definitely the latter.

I'm am also a big Kentucky fan and have been since I was young. Gilchrist is definitely a great glue guy that can do a bit of everything (reminds me of a motivated AK, or even a Scottie Pippen, I guess). Someone that no one has really mentioned is Darius Miller. He seems to be a good role player that could be snagged in the 2nd.
He has the tools but lacks the intestinal fortitude. He could be an NBA starter, but I fear he'll never make a full year on a roster. Love the kid though and wish he could be on the team another 15 years.

Yeah, it's remarkable when a school like Kentucky has a player stay more than 2 years.

I still remember the team several years ago that had Tayshaun Prince, Keith Bogans, and Chuck Hayes. Man, I loved that team.

I absolutely loved Chuck Hayes in college. I was hoping the Jazz would pick him up in the 2nd round, or at least bring him into camp. I'm not at all surprised he's a solid rotation player in the league, even though he's undersized.
I came down to Starkville for the weekend to get rowdy and watch the Bama MSU game. Caught a basketball game vs. a small school and Hood looked pretty good. He is definitely too skinny at this point and he struggles to get all the way to the rim because of it, but his pull up game is smooth and pretty.
I like Hood a lot. I can see him a mid 1st rounder (maybe even late lottery) in 2013, even though he made a poor choice of schools.
I'm still not convinced about Barnes. He looks like a complementary player like Luol Deng or Steve Smith with some defense. He doesn't put the ball on the floor and create his own offense very often. I think there are several players who could pass him in the draft, potentially Beal and Miller.

I'd go as far to say that there are half a dozen players who could potentially pass Barnes. Realistically, I don't see him falling out of the top 5 though.
