Saw that Veccine brought up the Jarace Walker/Hendricks debate. Haven’t listened yet….but have to say that it is a legit comparison despite a very different consensus ranking on the two. Not that they’re the same player….but on paper it makes you think again why one is ranked so much higher than the other.

That makes me mad... I am pretty sure I invented the "Hendo > Walker" debate. Its somewhere buried in here. It also may not be true but I'd personally feel more comfortable taking Hendo than Walker.

Summer League could be really exciting this year no matter who get's drafted. This reminds me of when Spida got drafted.

imo Walker has bought into a very skill limited role, on arguably the best team in college basketball. I am guessing since he doesn't try to do more, he is clearly all about winning not boosting draft stock. Tough to know what he would do in a Hendricks situation where there is no Sasser or others taking your usage
Walker looks like the way more versatile athlete to me

Maybe... but Tay is a way better shooter.

Walker not having the usage, to prove he is better than we have seen from him.
Switch rosters and usage and I am guessing the stats are flipped as well.
Maybe it changes, but Walker is ranked 10 places higher for more reasons than 1
Grant Nelson getting blown out. Won't make the Tourney.
Should have a JFC get together in Vegas
That sounds dangerous somehow. Like the Hangover movies.
So… what can we get with the 8th pick boys!?!?!?
I think we're going to push for #6. We need to test Indiana's resolve. I think the Jazz want Cam Whitmore or a Thompson if they can't get in the top 2. A big-time athlete would change this team.
