I agree with Magicfan32 except Steven Adams i saw him play and man i'll tell you if he declared he would be a lottery pick but he's looking like a 4-5 year project and you have him ahead of Vuc? no way

No I have Vucc as our future starter, tho ideally i would like us to find a Tyson Chandler type of big down the road to compliment him. Shabazz reminds me of Dwade, so i defs think he could be a franchise player down the road, though not as certain as Wiggins will. the more I see Andrew Harrison the more I want him, we havent had a superstar PG since Penny, and in todays NBA if you have a big time PG you are ahead of the curve...look at Kyrie, Clevelands future looks bright because of him

Oh yeah i'm totally on board with drafting our PG of the future because that's the way the league is looking now for sure. My thing is that in this upcoming draft class no Big is really blowing me away and that's including Zeller/Noel/Adams but it's still early and i'll watch how the ncaa season progresses but all the Top Bigs to me look like projects but that's just my opinion from my eye test

LeBryan Nash is easily becoming one of my favorite players in college basketball. The guy is playing with high intensity and it seems like he can get to the rim at will. This is a player we should keep our eye on because if he keeps this up he will be rising up boards.

Marcus Smart may be a PG for us to keep an eye out for. Word is he took it to Lorenzo Brown dropped an easy 20 on him. Got a Vid here to get guys familiar with his skillset. What do you think of him guys?

He's a little hefty for being 6'4" (225 lbs). He would be able bully NBA PGs but I wonder he has the quickness to keep up with the westbrooks/roses of the NBA. Definitely someone to keep an eye on though. I like his motor.

Honestly that video doesnt show too much in the way of NBA skillset (passing,handle,shooting seperation etc). He def has NBA physicality though. I would have too see him against college kids to get a good evaluation.
A smart coach once said, "Potential just means you're not good enough yet." Playing on potential is like living on air: It's essential, but if thats all you have, you're eventually going to starve.

He is in college like i said just dropped 20 on NC State i believe they're ranked so they're a pretty good team. I also love his physicality there are other aspects of his game i like as well. I'm keeping an eye on most of the PG prospects so i'm adding him to the list of those i'm watching

Being a Pitt student I have seen all the games and I highly doubt adams leaves this year. He is still extremely raw. We also have not been recruiting any centers for the 2013 class so it leads me to believe that they know he will stay. With that said there are times where he shows he has all the tools to be extremely successful (never a superstar, but a borderline all-star) but those flashes are few and far between. Definitely not lottery right now.

Two names to keep an eye out for when watching UCLA-Georgetown game is Otto Porter and Greg Whittington they are two 6'8' forwards who play some nasty defense.

Otto Porter is almost a Harkless clone. No need for him in my honest opinion

I don't think he is a clone of Harkless but he does have some similarities in that he plays nasty defense and can rebound the ball. I actually like all of Georgetowns forwards they all are pretty solid players and Porter/Whittington are going to be solid pros.
