Nice drive by Beal. MKG is looking impressive too, and Davis' D is God-tier.

we dont really need to tank hard, we are right where are at, 5th to 6th rite now in the tank standing, MKG should be available at 5th or 6th...but i wont be surprised if hes bumped into 4th tho.

Could someone recap the first half? Thanks.

if the tank falters upon AB's return, we could easily slip to 7-9 where there is zero chance that MKG will be available. that's the fear.

MKG is a stud. All he needs is a jumpshot. That's it. 10/9 to end the 1st half.

Osu with healthy sully stands a very good chance. But come March, almost any team can beat Kentucky.

Anyone else willing to take the chance on MKG at say 3rd pick overall?

I think if he learns a jumpshot his game could be ruined. Too many guys have fallen in love with jumpers.

I really like him, but he's not even close to ready. He needs at least one more year in college or he could be an NBA bust.

over Drummond? yes. over Barnes? not sure.

MKG and Barnes are great fits for Casey and our team. but we need shooting.

Not very efficient, doesn't play with heart, poor jump shot and also sucks at passing. Funny just last year at this time he was one of the highly profiled draftees of 2012
