What's new

Following potential 2012 draftees

Going to the Michigan/Wisconsin game this afternoon. As I've mentioned before, Trey Burke (Freshman PG) has been something special this year. Improves every game with his decision making and leadership. Extremely hard worker. If Tim Hardaway JR stays for one more year, this team is definitely final 4 material.

Have a good time bluenote. Should be a very good game. Whatever the line is, I'll take the under. :p

I like games like this when scouting because you've got good competition to gauge the performance. I'll be very interested in your take as to how Trey does against Jordan Taylor.
 
Wroten looked like absolute **** today. He needs another year for sure. No shot to speak of but great defender

Yeah, this was my first exposure to Wroten's game. I thought he and Washington would destroy the crappy Utes but they couldn't put them away. I mean, eventually the time ran out so Washington did get the win but based on this one ugly game I don't see what's so great about Wroten.

I expect at least three or four of the projected top 16, or so, to come back. Some guys who are projected in the teens could not only use another year to develop their game but could improve their draft stock 5-10 spots.

Or they could lower their draft stock to high potential incoming freshman.

Taylor (Wisconsin Sr. PG) vs Burke (Michigan Fr. PG)
Senior versus freshman - you wouldn't recognize it except for the 15 lbs of bulk/muscle that Jordan Taylor seemed have on TreyBurke. I think Burkes current size keeps him from driving and finishing a little more than he would like to, but I could see him matching Taylors size in a couple years. Both players had strong poise and leadership skills. Really impressed with Burkes defense on Taylor - even though he was smaller, he made him alter his shot many times. I think both players missed 2-3 shots they should have made but that's the way it goes. Burke played with a ton of intensity and determination and out hustled Taylor on a few occasions.

Michigan wins by 18 and Burke wins the matchup by a nose. Not bad for a freshman going against a more experience point guard. Watch out for this kid. Worst case scenario he is an Eric Maynor - best case he is Kevin Johnson
