Following potential 2015 draftees

When I think Stanley Johnson I think of Ron Artest just because of his physical size and strength. Didn't Artest weigh 260 at his playing weight as a SF? Johnson is around 240 as a Freshman. Basically my only reason for comparing him to Artest.

Yeah.. and Metta too.
 
I think that's a solid guess. I will actually be mildly surprised if UK wins by less than double digits.

VERY close at halftime and we pull away at about the 8:00 mark in the 2nd half and win by 12 - 15.

Harrison twins suck it up, Booker rescues the team and puts it on his back. Harrison twins go back in around 6 minutes left in the game and blow the lead Booker built. Booker comes back in at 2 minutes and opens up a 5 point victory.
 
lol.. how bout this one (UK vs. KU). Notice how well UK moves with and without the ball.. and swings it. 32pt beatdown on the #5 team in the country.

Those vids should come with a warning for epileptics.

I'll take it. Booker's my boi too.

13/19 in last 4 games from 3.
 
What scares me most is the Okafor/Coleman comparison. I dunno if he's athletic enough to be ELITE.

He's elite strength and post moves. Limited by pedestrian athleticism. That's it. We don't likely need worry, though.. he'll be gone by our pick.

Can't really explain it.. but I have this feeling we'll strike it lucky next year ;)


(no I didn't get the same feeling last year)
 
That Kaminsky character is a bit more skilled than Kelly Olynyk, but I don't think I he'll impact the game much more. Not high on him right now.
 
we added 57 posts to this thread in under 4 hours .. not bad. We should charge NBA teams for all this analysis.

Agree. Peep his game-by-game stats. He kills it against cupcakes and does nothing against future NBAers.

Against G'Town (not even that good), 6pts and 4rbs.
