Following potential 2012 draftees

Also, off topic, but why did Zeller have his damn hands down on that last play. When a guy is sizing you up for a solid 5 seconds you have to know he is looking for the three ball. They need a 3 to win, so put your damn hands up before he starts shooting. Make him drive past you and go for the tie or pass it.

Agree 100%. Was dumb.
 
Zeller probably wanted to goad Rivers into taking that shot. Either that, or he thought he would "contain" him by not letting him drive. Didn't work, obviously.

It was somewhat similar to the UK/UNC game ... except Davis got the block.

I could see that strategy if you are the road team or if Rivers was shooting poorly that night. But if you are the home team you have to think a worst case scenario of an overtime is still heavily in your favor as opposed to a player who is extremely hot from deep pulling off a big shot.

Yes, yes, and yes.
 
I am in shock. Wow. Rivers....I have no words for you. Please draft him Jazz, please please please please please.

I think his draft stock will rise a lot by the time draft rolls around after march madness. He will be out of the Jazz range, but I would love him.
 
The saddest part is that I went to go hang out with some friends in town because I figured the game wouldn't be worth watching. Missed the whole thing.


/Kill me.

Ouch. Funny thing is that I thought UNC was having their way with Duke (they were) until about the 4:00 mark. Duke just stole it in the final seconds. Rivers has near Kobe confidence and 'it' .. (did not compare them as players, just their 'tude.)

There was no doubt in my mind who was going to be taking that last shot ... and that it was going to go in.

As for UNC, they have supreme talent, length, etc .. but are tissue soft pansies.

His stock is going to rise a lot, but I'm not sure everyone understands just how low it was before (he wasn't even on Chad Ford's top 20 last time I checked). In other words, he will still be in our range (8-14) imo. I really don't see him going any higher than 8th. Not in this draft.
