Right that is why I said he was taking classes at another actual HS. Hand it to his US guardian for putting together the basketball team though. At least he is playing. The website for his prep academy still has nothing and the phone number is the voice mail for the guardian.

The prep academy is about 5 minutes from where i am at. I should go do some investigative reporting. :)

Some people of course think Dakari could be pretty good, but of course a lot of people thought Daniel Orton was going to be a player. the last time i heard about him he was kicked out of the Philipino league. Dont bad mouth Manny!

UK fans don't like Orton.
Dakari is too slow and can't jump.

Qi according to Ford could actually be a first round pick so scouts will watch him closely.
 
Apparently Scouts don't rate Johnson much at all... It would be amazing if he falls as far as the 12th pick:

Scouts have been split on Oubre, Hezonja, Winslow and Johnson all season. But when recently polling scouts, it was clear that Johnson might be losing some ground. While he has an NBA body and a reputation as a winner, he's struggled a bit lately -- not only with his shooting but also with major defensive lapses. His play against Utah (3-for-19 from the field along with some lazy defense) earned him a spot on the bench. The scouts who have closely watched Johnson say that his reputation hasn't always lived up to his play this season.

He's not the athlete everyone says he is, nor does he have the motor everyone says he does. As one veteran scout said: "He takes plays off. His motor isn't always great and with the exception of a great NBA body, his tools aren't all they're made out to be. He struggles to finish at the rim. In my opinion, he's the most overhyped player in the draft."

Interesting. I wonder if Sean Miller goes more easy on Johnson than Self does on Oubre. Maybe if Johnson were on Kansas, hed be riding pine too.

I guess moral of the story is, all these kids are... kids.
