These guys only get about 17 minutes per game.. so stats watchers yawn. Per 36 he is averaging about 15pts, 15rbs, and 6.5blks.

Here are some highlights from our last game. Towns is #12. Notice his passing.. ELITE. Also, at the 2:15 mark.. check it out.

I love passing bigs! LOVE LOVE LOVE! OMG! I really hope this guy can develop great defensive game. I wasn't very high on him before the start of the season(especially compared to Okafor) but he's ticking all the right boxes for right now.

P.S. That camera work gave me a headache.

Aight peeks, give me your comps for the top 3 guys. Cause I know you love them comps.

LOL.. ya. Hate comps.. they rarely really work.

1. Okafor - Horford / Al Jeff.. WAY polished big man with a high floor but I think will be somewhat limited ceiling because somewhat below the rim guy.

2. Towns - hmmm.. Marc Gasol with NBA range? I don't really know.

3. Mudiay - John Wall (many of the same strengths and weaknesses) / Tyreke Evans

4. Johnson - Thad Young / Iguodala

Is UK out of the picture now? Not the first time I've heard this over the past two weeks. Rebels play 3 PAC 12 schools in December. I think if they beat 2 of 3 and continue to take care of the games the should he will verbally commit in Feb. He is UNLVs to lose from all I hear.

No.. not out of it. However, Zim knows that we just got Skal, are hard after Giles, Rabb, Diallo, and Thon Maker is back talking reclassify again.. that's a lot of elite bigs and I think Zim feels like just one of many and we'll take whomever commits. Whereas UNLV can make him feel much more special.

lol.. how bout this one (UK vs. KU). Notice how well UK moves with and without the ball.. and swings it. 32pt beatdown on the #5 team in the country.

Damn, please don't do this to me! If he can get anywhere near that level, I'd empty the bank to get him. I think there'd be just about 2 of our current assets I wouldn't be willing to sacrifice to get such a talent.

UK by 5

I think that's a solid guess. I will actually be mildly surprised if UK wins by less than double digits.

VERY close at halftime and we pull away at about the 8:00 mark in the 2nd half and win by 12 - 15.
 
When I think Stanley Johnson I think of Ron Artest just because of his physical size and strength. Didn't Artest weigh 260 at his playing weight as a SF? Johnson is around 240 as a Freshman. Basically my only reason for comparing him to Artest.

Harrison twins suck it up, Booker rescues the team and puts it on his back. Harrison twins go back in around 6 minutes left in the game and blow the lead Booker built. Booker comes back in at 2 minutes and opens up a 5 point victory.

I'll take it. Booker's my boi too.

13/19 in last 4 games from 3.

What scares me most is the Okafor/Coleman comparison. I dunno if he's athletic enough to be ELITE.

He's elite strength and post moves. Limited by pedestrian athleticism. That's it. We don't likely need worry, though.. he'll be gone by our pick.

Can't really explain it.. but I have this feeling we'll strike it lucky next year ;)


(no I didn't get the same feeling last year)
