Man, Booker. I wish he'd been able to play a bigger role on that UK team. I really like what I've seen of him. Always thought he was an underrated athlete.

He's not a great vertical athlete. Kind of similar to Exum, but he seems to have great quickness. I think he had good enough year in UK having in mind the platoon system they ran.

Bobby Portis said he doesn't play with a chip on his shoulder. He plays with a boulder

Arkansas F Bobby Portis with the line of the day: In 18-19 years, I want people to look back and say I was the best player in this draft

I really like Portis. If he can shoot it, i will really really like portis.

Yah, he shot really well in the first half, too... I didn't think he'd be picked before the combine, but he's really helping his case both in the tests and in the 5-on-5 games. Shows he has a true NBA skill - shooting.
 
BTW Connaughton was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the last year's MLB draft, too..

He certainly seems to have the attitude that is starting to shine thru in Utah.
 
Based on Tony Jones tweets I believe we will draft everybody... this time of year is kinda fun.

Lane agility shows he could be pretty good at defense yet.
Don't cate about his vert, that's not part of his game.

I don't see the situation where he is a bust... I think he could be a rich man's JJ. I don't think he's Klay though. JJ used to be a terrible defender but he became a pretty effective positional type defender. Not a shut down guy but doesn't give up too much on that end.
