Following potential 2012 draftees

[spycam1]

So tomorrow there are going to be some high school games on ESPNU. Two of the big names that will be playing are Shabazz Muhammad and Jabari Parker. I am not sure who else to look for beyond those two but I thought that some of you would like to know about this.

You know what time either of them play?

I watched the washington game today and I think we should add Terrance Ross to the list. Granted it was only 1 game but he took over when his team needed it

He's on the radar, for sure, I just view him more as an NBA SG vs. SF.

You know what time either of them play?

These are both Mtn Time

Shabazz plays at 1 pm
Jabari plays at 3 pm

Both games are on ESPNU.

Thanks, by the way, I had Shabazz on my schedule but missed that Jabari was playing as well. Good stuff .. and rep-ed.

Thanks. Also, I know that you would like to know this but Mater Dei plays Christ the King following Jabari's game. I don't know who I should look for on either team but it seems like Mater Dei always has someone with potential.

Jabari is an absolute beast. Excited to see him play again, thanks.

A Good read by Chad Ford about the PG's of the 2012 draft - https://insider.espn.go.com/nba/blog/_/name/nba_draft

Some interesting points:

1. UNC's Kendall Marshall might be the best pure passer in college hoops, but his lack of a jump shot and elite athleticism also give scouts pause.

2. Two blue-chip recruits, Kentucky's Marquis Teague and Texas' Myck Kabongo, were supposed to be potential lottery picks, but both players have struggled to run their teams as freshmen. Teague, especially, has scared off some scouts who are now openly questioning whether he really has a good feel for the game.

3. The only point guard on our board who even remotely looks like a sure thing for the first round is Washington's Tony Wroten. And he's not a lock.

4. Weber State combo guard Damian Lillard is rising up the boards fast, but teams still are struggling to get their arms around him.

Agree with all of that.

Shabazz is deserving of the title beast. Undeniably incredible.

They're both incredible. Who would you say is the better pro prospect? Just curious.

 

[orangello]

I am so sorry to mess anyone up. Those times were EST not Mtn.

 

[Hantlers]

Better pro prospect is Jabari IMO. He just everything incredibly well. Has a beautiful jump shot, plays good defense, can handle the ball, I just like him. Obviously Shabazz is a stud too, but Jabari is the better pro prospect to me.


In regards to our draft, the more and more I think about it, the more I see us drafting Austin Rivers to play PG/SG for us, more of a PG though. I'm not sure how I feel about that....
