Following potential 2013 draftees

I'll answer these questions tomorrow. I'm sure you all understand.

Yea, I'm sure you watched that Jazz game. I would understand if you were close to slitting someone's throat because of it. We'll give you a pass tonight.

PKM, if you need a hug I am here for you.

Thanks Cy.

[orangello]

PKM, I see that you still have not talked about the game yesterday. Losing the first home game in the Calipari must be hard. I feel for ya. I'd offer something to cry on but I think Cy's offer is too good to pass up.

[PKM]

Yeah, it was tough. This team kind of reminds me of the Jazz. No true/elite PG. No true leader. No true/elite lockdown defender.

We've had those identities each of the past years under Calipari. You know it's a PG drought when Cal didn't even get one. There's no disputing he's owned that position for many years.

Like the commentators said in the Baylor game, though. "You teams better get your licks in on UK this year. They won it all next year and they'll be nearly unbeatable next year."

We'll still be good this year, but easily the weakest team of the Calipari era .. this looks like an Elite8 team to me.

Noel isn't an elite defender?

You had a prophet commentating that game? That's amazing!

[PKM]

Noel isn't an elite defender?

Yes .. he will be, that is. Right now he leaves his feet too early, but he'll be there within 10 more games.

What I mean, though, is a G/wing defender. MKG last year .. we could have him guard 4 positions and lock the guy down. That makes for a great identity. The year before that was Andre Liggins .. This year we have great defensive players, but no one that has embraced the role of defensive enforcer.

We paid a little extra. Well worth it.

[orangello]

We paid a little extra. Well worth it.

When you say little, what do you mean?

[LazyD]

You're talking about recruiting, right?

[Hartsock]

Is Trey Burke a good enough athlete to make up for his lack of size? He is obviously very skilled, good shooter, great passer, great floor leader, great feel for the game. But he is still only 6' 180. Thats really small for someone who isnt an elite athlete.

Haterz EVERYWHERE!

I love the kid, but I don't see him being a big factor in the NBA. I do think he'll play, but not at an elite level. Has his shooting improved?

Seems like a solid shooter in the games Ive watched, not anything like Randy Freaking Foye, but a decent shooter nonetheless.
