Following potential 2014 draftees

So, if you would take AnHarrison #2 and Randle #3 (I presume), how good do you think UK will be this year?
 
Wow.. I like that answer even though I admit it surprises me.

Another question. You're on the clock and you have to choose either Randle or Parker. Who do you take?

I take parker if I'm the jazz just cause I think he would be a greater need and fit better with this team.

Then there is the mormon angle to consider when it comes to merchandise and whatnot

I happen to agree whole-heartedly. The merchandising thing only goes so far (because you need to win and the NBA's profit-sharing dilutes things a bit), but generally agree.

Likely ncaa champs and close to being undefeated

I believe they are hands-down the most talented team.. and among (top5) the most talented teams all time.

However, they are young and you never know well they gel and how quickly they pick up a new system and adjust to the bigger faster players in college... not to mention the tourney is one and out.

I see Kentucky being the odds on favorite to win it.. and I predict 5 losses.... and hopefully they win their last 6 games of the year.

I keep saying how good Zona will be this year but just realized we haven't discussed Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.
A forward that is a defensive stopper that will guard 4 positions this year (PG - PF). MONSTER.

When picking up a game to watch Gordon.. pay attention to Hollis-Jefferson. He could potentially go from NOWHERE on the mocks to mid first/late lottery.
 
This new vid shows a few clips of last season's epic collapse of UK.. for the haterz enjoyment and also shows good stuff on the this year's new recruits .... for those sincerely interested in this thread.

They really need to put some padding at the base of that hoop....
 
The new DX '14 and '15 rankings look really odd. I disagree with a lot of predictions and predicted decisions if player declare in '14 or '15. I doubt Aa. Harrison will stay a year longer than his bro for example.
 
Those twins are closer than any two brothers I've ever seen in my life time.

With Andrew's stock high and Aaron's seemingly falling, a 'promise' to Aaron with the GSW pick may actually help land both.

Do they sometimes pull tricks on girls when they're not yet familiar with them?
 
lol... a question I never asked.

You really should. I have a pair of twins I'm friend with. By their voice you can't keep them apart. One has slightly more distinctive cheek bones. And they wear their hair in different directions. One has it falling in his face right towards left, the other one vice versa.
There was this house party, when they decided midway through, to change their clothes and hairdress. They fooled quite a few.
Imagine like:
Aaron: Hey Andrew, I'm really bored. You wanna score some baskets later?
Andrew: No buddy, I'm busy learning and I'm really tired from yesterdays practice. And that chick "insert name" is already on my nuts the whole day. You wanna hang out with her as me?
Aaron: Sure!

Good call. I remember being impressed with the kid during an All-star game. He was working his butt off and seemed to be involved in a lot of plays. I am shocked that he isn't on any sites radar.

Hes got quite a motor..my one question about Zona is theyre outside shooting..Theyre gonna struggle from the outside..

Also im not as high on Gordon as a nba prospect as most people..i think hell be solid and has a great motor and athletic ability but hes offensive game is extrenely raw and he wants to be a 3 yet doesnt have a very good handle or shot..

I see his ceiling as a Marion type which is very good but not as good as the top 3 or 4 guys..
 
Dante Exum is projected to be as high as a top-three pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, should he choose to become eligible.
Exum is from Australia, and doesn’t even graduate high school until October, which had some speculating that he could enroll in a college program in the states as early as December.
But Exum remains undecided on playing in college for now, and definitely won’t do so in this upcoming season. He says he’s still ’50-50′ on whether to skip the college experience entirely in favor of a shot in the NBA.
From Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com:
Dante Exum, considered one of the top prospects eligible for the 2014 NBA draft, told ESPN that if he opts to play college basketball, he will not enroll in December.
“Schools have been saying I can start in early December and play this season,” Exum told ESPN. “But if college is the option, I’ll stay in Australia, do workouts with the national team and then go to college next August. Playing this season in college is not an option.”
Exum, who turns 19 on July 13, told ESPN that he remains 50-50 on whether to bypass college and go to the NBA.
