Following potential 2013 draftees

I really don't follow college ball, but if Larkin is in, he should be on our radar, right? Led Miami to ACC regular season and conference champiosnhips. Competes at a high level, gets to his spots, makes the right plays, can shoot it. Somewhere between JJ Barea and Ty Lawson, I'd think (closer to Lawson).

He's a good player.. just awfully small.. and not long.

My bro also said that Austin's dad told him he could've gon to KU, but instead went to Baylor. My bro said Austin's dad was very upset at his sons choice for this very reason.

Bro also said that Baylor offered money to Austin. PKM, did KU really want Austin?

I highly doubt both will be available when the jazz pick.

Not sure how big an advantage length is for a point guard. With taller guards, it can perhaps have an effect on handles/turnovers, but Larkin's already pretty damn close to the floor and seems to have decent handles. Looks really good on video.

Kentucky didn't recruit Austin. Kansas did, iirc.

I think he goes back.

Hopefully PKM doesn't rain down on me from on high, but truthfully I have no idea, I guessed.;)

No biggie.

Just a little worried about court vision and defense.. not a huge deal, but definitely something that concerns me a bit.
 
I love watching Larkin play, but he has a lot more limitations than he does upside. Plus he plays really stupid sometimes. He needs more time to develop.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was the SEC player of the year this year and Larkin is a great PG but he is like 5'11 on a good day.

Btw, NBN, more smoke re: an imminent commitment from Wiggins to UK .. that I heard today.
Still lots of mixed signals, but it's sounding 80% UK / 10% UNC / 6% FSU / 4% KU ... and those are highly scientific numbers.
