Im gonna back Adams, I think he has plenty of upside. (just being a NZ Homer)
Michigan needs to hit their open shots.
The best outcome of this game for us is if MCW and Burke both play well defensively and cancel each other out offensively. A lot of missed shots and TO's should ensure they don't advance further up the draft board.
They're both scoreless so far 1/2 way through 1st half.

McGary running the floor & dishing as well now.. wow.. if this guy declares I think he's got a good chance being in the lottery.
The way McGary is playing makes me think what Kanter could have looked like if he was eligible to play for UK.
And Kanter was the 3rd pick. So...

Burke can defend MCW out on the floor. MCW has the ability to rise up and shoot over Burke, but at this stage MCW isn't going to shoot a high percentage. MCW's lack of shooting and skills in the lane negates some of his size advantage. Both teams are packing in on defense though.
Comparing McGary to Kanter is asinine. If I have to actually explain why, then it's beyond you. David Lee is a better comparison to McGary, albeit Lee is more athletic.
I also don't get the love affair with MCW here. The kid can't shoot, and that is a huge, huge issue. Plus, kids coming out of Syracuse have a huge learning curve when it comes to defense because all they've played is a 2-3 zone, we don't really know how well they'll be able to play in a man-to-man situation. Anyways, MCW is much like Kendall Marshall. Everybody thought Marshall had magically learned how to shoot the basketball last year because of the ACC tournament and NCAA tournament. They were wrong. MCW is just a taller, more athletic Marshall, and after seeing Marshall play this year, I don't see how anybody can want that on our team. I get that we all want a pass-first PG because we had Stockton for so long, but you guys have to realize that the NBA is changing. Those types of guys aren't necessarily needed anymore.
