Anyone who says otherwise is a damn fool. He's top-notch.

But isn't his shooting a worry? It's a shooter's league now in the NBA, and if you can't make outside shots that's a bit no-no in my book... defense can collapse on you, etc, etc,.

He had a midrange jumper open twice in the final 14 seconds of last nights game, down by 1, and he differed both times.

In the first half the announcers noticed that Marquette was daring him to shoot and it was working for the most part.

The ting is Ben is too damn big and strong for most college teams to have any chance to deal with, so he can just coast to stuff the stat sheet. No one's gonna force him to shoot. Not even when their down. Blakeney and Sampson and a few players on LSU have quick triggers which will help him avoid shooting even more.

I ask if he's not gonna shoot 3's on the shorter college line, hows it gonn alook in the NBA when he's got taller players like Giannis guarding him.

Thought I would just drop this here rather than digging up the 2018 thread, for now.

I spoke with someone on the UK staff about 2017 recruits, today. Here is who I was told are the main targets as of today;

Trae Young
John Petty
Kris Wilkes
Jarred Vanderbilt
DeAndre Ayton
Nick Richards

A few notes;
Cal is very high on Vanderbilt and is personally predicting him to blow up next season. REALLY wants to coach him.
UK feels great about all of these except Ayton.. only because he's so quiet and doesn't show his hand at all.
 
So is anyone watching LSU?? Ben Simmons is scoreless at the half, didn't take a shot in the first 17 minutes and then just threw up an airball from the corner, from 20 feet.

Thats an outrageous class. Tons of skill. The bigs are ultra athletic too. I posted about Jarred Vanderbilt on the 3rd page of this thread like a year and a half ago, any class that has him in it, I won't complain about.

Nick Richards and Ayton would absolutely decimate opposing frontcourts..

Just saw this and was like "Wut, Cal is leaving UK for Vandy?"
 
Patrick McCaw is quickly becoming one of my favorite guards to watch in the nation. He's got a great handle and 1st step, he's shifty, can shoot and pass, has really nice quickness and great hands on defense/instincts jumping passing lanes. I like him better than Caris LaVert.

Derrick Jones just threw down an absolute poster. He seriously might be good enough to be a priority 2nd round pick this year as a one and done. I like him WAAAAAY better than J.P. Tokoto of yesteryear.
 
Is anyone else watching this LSU game right now? Down by 10 he's 0-3 from the field and 0-2 from the FT line. This team coulda really used Jordan Mickey..
