He'll look good until playoff time where he can't get a shot off because the defense isn't giving him space to shoot.

How would you even know about that "already"? And it didn't even happen in last year's tourney. So your statement is inconsistent.

To each his own, but it's kinda premature to say Barnes won't be a star...

One of those guys that people pass on because of the preceived lack of atheticism.

Some players are a victim of their system. You don't get to see the full package in College.

I don't want to see a Rudy Gay type mistake made again.

I doubt it. I think he'll be a rotation player, but I don't see a star. With Rudy Gay, you could see his awesome athleticism and skill. Last year, Paul George reminded me of Gay.

HB doesn't have incredible athleticism but he still has skills especially his triple threat, that's a very incredible skillset, he's also very smooth and smart too. But I have to agree with you on Lamb and Beal tho.

Colangelo on Raptors Today...

"We already got the second best player in the draft"

"If you look at the board right now we feel Jonas would be number 2 in this draft if
you look at a certain particular player"

Kentucky time

Terrence Jones' stock has to be rising big-time based off this past week or so. He's been Kentucky's 2nd most important player after Davis.

Everyone keeps raving about Beal.

Who would you compare him to in the NBA? What's his upside?

How tall is beal ?? 6'5 is the shortest I would wan't my sg & outside of Eric Gordon, I can't really name any starting quality sg who is sucessful @ 6'5 & under. The closest u get is Wade or Eric or Marcus Thornton...

Eric Gordon type with less offensively skillset however he plays bigger than his size with better all around game and plays very well in a half-court system.

I'd worry if he's a skinny little kid but he's got a strong build for his size. A 6'4-6'5 is definitely okay, and I doubt he would be 6'3. I just wish the draft combine comes earlier!

According to DX, Beal's 6' 3.5" in shoes w/ a 6' 7.5" wingspan (taken from the April 12, 2011, Nike Hoop Summit).

Eric Gordon in comparison, is 6' 3.25" in shoes with a 6' 9" wingspan.

Beal has a little bit of James Harden I'd say. Both crafty on the ball, but Harden has much better footwork.

What move by Royce White! DAYUM!

Post #1496 » by **FluLikeSymptoms** » Fri Mar 16, 2012 1:31 am

PJ3 with his first points. 10:46 left in 2nd.

Quincy with the sweet spin move and two-handed flush, then posts and follows his own miss. But still only 6 points.

Jones gets rejected. 1-7.

DA_SCOUT · Post #1497 » by **DA_SCOUT** » Fri Mar 16, 2012 1:59 am

PJ3 played terrible, I think Baylor played terrible but they still got the win.
Good to see Q.Miller get involved

tdotrep2 · Post #1498 » by **tdotrep2** » Fri Mar 16, 2012 2:13 am

I want nothing to do with Pj3, I think q mill has potential at the 3 tho...

if I was drummond or lamb, I would have injured napier by now. He has done so much to ruin their season and draft stock, its unbelievable.

Napier starts passing and good things happen. Lamb is buttery.
