He's becoming one of my favorites right now....6"2 point guard....Playing for Kentucky this season so that puts them on the must watch list for me....he'll be there along with Nerlens i believe.....calipari says Ryan best skills is his 1on1 breakdown ability.... apparently no one can guard him 1on1 but it's not only that he has good vision and has a little bounce....couple problems though....From what i read he has to become a better distributor as he is sometimes caught trying to do too much Calipari wants to work on that.....second problem is he's really on the thin side...he needs to put on some muscle it will also help him defensively.....Nbadraft.net has him in the lottery currently but of course this is before the season so....grain of salt....some reason he's reminding me of Steve Francis with the handles....

IMPRESSIVE video of Dario Saric from this past week leading his Croatia team to the U18 European Championship.

Saric scored 39 points in the title game and averaged 25.6 points 10.1 boards 3.3 assists 1.8 steals 1.6 blocks in the tourney. Guy has a very high upside & continues to add muscle to his frame.

stopped Looking when u said 6 foot 2. Draft Express has him listed at 5 foot 11 which seems more Consistant with eveything. Schools Websites tend to Exagerate a Players size. was listed reportedly 6 foot coming out of Highschool according to ESPN.

NBA Draft Net Says he is 6 foot 1 so stands to me he is 6 foot to 6 foot 1

he will get exposed in the 1 on 1 drills for draft Prospects. he will show he cant handle Guarding NBA Caliber SFs or PFs with his Lack of speed and quickness at SF and his Lack of size at PF

not that it really matters but i've read on certain forums about people that has seen him as recent as last month saying he's about 6"1-6"2.....Kentucky site has him at 6"2 and from what i hear they take training camp measurements for those....but like you said it could be exaggerated....still doesn't make a difference to me imo.....his talent is what caught my eye not his height......

He is 18 freaking years old lol (wont be 19 til April) he has plenty of time to add muscle to his frame, which he has already started doing.

Hell he is already 6'10" & about 225-230 & still growing.

He will def be a lottery pick.

Pretty impressed with the type of player Isiah Austin could become.


Snag a PG in the top 20, grab Austin and then maybe run with

Kabongo
Harden
Harkless
Nicholson
Austin/Adams/Noel/Zeller.

Tons of youth and a "quick" rebuild

Teams do not draft franchise PGs in the 20s (except when Orlando traded for Nelson's rights, of course!). I would rather see our Magic trade Al Harrington and a couple of their newly acquired low firsts for the rights to Kendall Marshall. He looks to real to ignore; in my opinion.

Ya this is one of the first years I am truly excited for college basketball lol.

because regardless of our direction I DEFF see us snagging a PG with 1 of our first picks.

Chris Walker the UF PF looks solid too

kabongo was low to start with and hasnt risen yet because of no games played. let him play a few games and do his thing to see if hes a good PG.

the same marshall who looked slow, couldnt hit a shot, and not play good defense.

i question ur sanity just with saying we can trade harrington and a few first for him when he aint half as good the PGs coming out it appears. i mean if we gonna trade for a PG atleast trade for one that has Shooting ability, Passing ability, Speed, and some solid defense.

idk about better. His Vision and Passing skills are like no one else. too bad he aint got athleticism to be a decent defender and a shot.
