Following potential 2013 draftees

I'd say it's 100% sure he's coming out. He's being projected as a SG. If he continues to make these kind of strides at PG, then watch out. My opinion, though, is he'll still be drafted as a SG/combo and go top 10.

Link or it didn't happen.
 
9 scouts at UK today. All were asked several questions with one being who do you compare Goodwin to .. all 9 shared only two different responses. 7 said Wade, 2 said Westbrook. Not meaning that as a good thing, just sharing.

How can that be anything but a good thing?
 
I know this will sound smug, and maybe it is, but I HATE when top players make bad choices and get stuck in a situation with no dev't.

There is no reason Adonis Thomas shouldn't be dominating at this point. And I have NO doubt he would be under Calipari.

Tonight, vs. Northern Iowa (?), Thomas played 24 minutes;

Check out this vintage footage of Latrell Sprewell (6'5" 190 lbs) and see if you think Goodwin can do this stuff.....

Well, Archie is a freshman in college with only 5 games on his resume and we're comparing him to an NBA guy ... but here's what I would say..

Archie is more explosive (first step) and has a quicker release. I have stressed this point, but dude is lightning fast. The vid shows Sprewell knocking down a bunch of perimeter shots .. Archie drilling them so far but his history in HS suggests his %'s will come down. Archie is only 5 of 7 from 3 so far this year, so obviously too small of a sample size to have any opinion. However, he's hitting VERY tough shots, shots that I think have no prayer, but he's hitting them time after time.

Wanting to see another 5 games, but I suspect he's going to keep it up and keep getting better. Calipari is pushing him harder and spending more time with him than anyone else on the team.
 
Here are some highlights from one of UK's games this year. Archie is #10.
