Following potential 2014 draftees

That is quite an odd ensemble of names there, Hant.

Unless you're just being facetious, Catchall has to be in there.. and Dala is not. OG has followed the draft threads perhaps more than anyone and has certainly brushed up on knowledge of a lot of players, but the Burke 'schtik' is a bit detracting.

There are a few others as well..

For HS/college evaluation, I like hearing things from Hantlers, PG_AlecBurks, Catchall, Cy (even though he randomly hates/likes and it's hard to tell when he's srs), BTP with foreign guys and a few USA guys, OG to a degree, Vermin (for sure)... sure I'm missing a few good ones.

I was just trying to get people riled up. It didn't work.

I think you're letting OG's "schtick" take away from him. He's a really good poster, and I agree with a lot of what he's saying on Burke. Can't say I'm a fan of the PG_AlecBurks, but whatever. There are some people here that when I see they post, I just skip over it (the majority of the posters here) and a few who I don't. Y'all know who you are.

Listening to anyone talk about HS prospects is mostly boring.

"Hey look at how amazing this guy is in this mixtape that only shows highlights"
"Yeah, he can play SF with those handles"
"Oh look he can hit 3's"


Yawn. Wake me up when college basketball starts and we can actually see these guy's flaws and in a league where they have competition.

you'll never get to, say, 87 rep power as long as you hold these beliefs. That's where the Chedd$r zat.
 
there are things you can see in highlight videos. I noticed that Gordon is a willing passer. he understood where players would be. his passes are ugly, although to the right person but not in a good spot. his shot needs to be reworked a little. the release point changed a few times, nothing that can't be fixed with more practice.

the thing I noticed the most is he enjoys playing the game and he has a high motor.

I also noticed that some of his post foot work was a little mechanical. again things that can be fixed.

you don't have to watch the vids for the highlights but the mechanics of what is happening.
 
What I liked from watching the McDonalds game and this highlight vid is that he seems to have real good BBIQ. Wonder how that's gonna affect his learning curve.
People say you can't teach court vision and him having that already is going to be valuable for at least 2 cases down the road.
-transition basketball(everybody is going to expect him to dunk on every single occasion)
-he becomes an all star type player who is commanding double teams

I notice he is playing against scrubs and he can mess around and lead a fastbreak and make cute passes.

Can he do that at the college level? Maybe, probably. Can he do it at an efficient level that the coaches will embrace? Remains to be seen. I would respect highlight vids more if they show him committing TO's on those attempts.
