What's new

Following potential 2012 draftees

Updated stats (approximately the first 25% of the season is completed) on our potential SF targets - QMIller, Barnes, Kidd-Gilchrist

...Adding Moser for comparison sake. I'm not really on his bandwagon, but at some point he has to enter the conversation.
BTW, I really like the way Quincy Miller is passing the ball at Baylor. He's letting his offense take a backseat.

I think this kind of sums up why I don't like Barnes.

Barnes is averaging 4.3 rebounds a game, has 20 turnovers and six assists for the season, and has 8 combined blocks and steals on the season.

I just think somebody with his talent should be able to do so much more and he isn't....I just don't like that.

Can't say I disagree. Barnes seems to have an 'it' factor but just doesn't seem to play like it.
 
All I've heard is the players were in shock that Davis was able to get to the shot and block it. The UNC players said they just didn't realize there was any time left on the clock. Seems a bit inconceivable to me, but that's what they said.

henson completely quit after getting his shot blocked. UNC could have had around 4 seconds for a last shot after the free throws. I was right about Zeller/Henson being the perfect matchup against Davis. Certainly showed Davis has a lot of limits on offense right now.

There's no disputing that Davis has to learn to be an effective scorer in the post. He's much further along to call 'raw', but he certainly has a ways to go.

Disappointed that he can't shoot the ball a lick. I thought he was a 6'3 guard his junior year of HS? I thought he would have a tad bit more shooting skills. I may be wrong, but every game I have watched he takes about 2 or 3 (wide open) perimeter shots and has missed them all so far.

He's a better shot than he's shown, thus far, this year. He was 39.3% from 3 last year and shot nearly 2.9 per game.
 
PER of the potential lottery picks and a few others (through 7 or 8 games). It confirms what we already know, the PG crop is doing awful. Sullinger, Cody Zeller, and Davis have been tour-de-forces.

1. C. Zeller: 38.6
2. Sullinger: 38
3. Davis: 33.6
4. J. Lamb: 30.8
5. T. Jones: 28.7
6. D. Lamb: 26
7. Robinson: 25.6
8. Q. Miller: 24.8
9. Ross: 24.2
10. Henson: 23.7
11. Barnes: 23.1
12. Beal: 21.7
13. T. Zeller: 21.3
14. Kabongo: 20.4
15. Gilchrist: 20.5
16. Rivers: 20.3
17. Young: 20
18. Drummond: 19.3
19. Wroten: 17.9
20. Teague: 16.3
21. Marshall: 15.9

P. Jones: (one game played so not worth mentioning)
 
Cool stuff. BY the way, Anthony Davis and Cody Zeller go head-to-head this coming Saturday.
