No just because they are tight I think. Calipari is developing a reputation that players who play for him can ultimately become NBA talents, which will help him recruit top high school kids.

His answer: "The games are on 3 a.m, late night here in Belgrade. I am sleeping by midnight each night. It is the rules of my club. I will try to watch the NBA Finals games recorded the day after. I have my own playoff games going on so I need to sleep and be ready to play."

Was the interview translated or conducted in English? If he actually spoke English like that, that's pretty impressive.
Yeah, the question asked was he excited about the playoffs. The interviewer obviously heard from a source that he models/thinks his game is like both players.
I hope it was translated because I sure don't like this little gem:
"I am lucky that I have with me two top sports agents, Mr. Tellem and Mr. Raskovic. They are working very hard for me. And we will see. We will hope to choose the best team for me for the beginning of my career in the NBA."
I am not saying there is no truth to Coach Cal saying Kanter has talent. I am on the Kanter boat at 3. I will say that Coach Cal is going to do as much for Kanter as he can to get him drafted higher. JMO.
I think the Jazz want Knight more than Kanter. Hopefully someone will trade up for him and the Jazz still get Knight like 5th or 6th
It's hard to get a sense of how good Knight is from a historical perspective. Is he worthy of the third pick or is he just the second or third best point guard in this draft? How would he compare to the lottery pick point guards from 2008 and 2009?
2008 Lottery
Derrick Rose
Russell Westbrook
D.J Augustine
Jerryd Bayless
2009 Lottery
Tyreke Evans
Ricky Rubio
Johnny Flynn
Stephen Curry
Brandon Jennings
Kemba Walker is actually above average, or right at average height for a PG.
Above average? Kemba will be one of the 5 smallest players EVER taken in the lottery. At 6-1" (with shoes) he has anything but above average or "at least average" height. Now, as a lethal scorer, sure.
I just came up with the perfect player comparison for kanter. Andrew Bogut.
