Reading the Draftexpress twitter feed, he is giving a lot of love to Kim English. He even gave him a lot of love at the Portsmith Invitation. Maybe we are looking at the next Wes Matthews? I loved his game this year for Missouri.

Yes.
Since I haven't watched enough college BB the past couple of years, I can only rep these guys that have been around a little longer. I like this guy.

and to those that will mention our logjam at the 2:
The best way to use a logjam is a la Popovich, i.e. rotate them in and out of the game faster, use them in high energy defensive scenarios (trapping, or anything else to disrupt the offense at it's initial point of attack).
I'd have no problem with the Jazz getting BOTH JJenkins and English.

I think when you draft in the 2nd round, you just go for the person you think will actually make it in the NBA. You don't draft based on need or position.
Jenkins, yes. English, mid to late lottery for me. Jenkins is superior to English in every category, as far as I'm concerned.
English lacks the length, explosiveness, and ball-handling to be much of a factor in the NBA. I don't hate the guy, but in the 4 years I've seen him play I've never been all that impressed (including this year even though he was better this year, than in the past, by a mile).

Yes. Work ethic, athleticism, shot .. you need a player that has two things, imo .. work ethic and one solid go-to bb attribute (shot, rebounding, defense, whatever).
Yeah, I would go Jenkins also, but he is going to be a late first to early 2nd guy. English is probably a mid to late 2nd, possibly even undrafted. He has solid length (6'7 wingspan) and is a smart offensive player who can shoot lights out from most spots on the court and was never the main person on his college team, so he knows how to play a support role.
Agree with all of that.
Christ, so much wasted talent.
Did the numbers and that weight (given that he is 6'10) makes him technically obese.
I'm pumped for tweets making fun of how fat he is in the next hour.

Cyrone and fat go together like peanut butter and jelly.
