Oh mam UNC is giving up a serious momentum changing run here.

Henson has absolutely no awareness of his surrounding of where the basket or his defender is. Just flicks up a shot as soon as he catches which of course would be a miss. smh.

Barnes inside-out stepping into a jumper.

No I'm not. I've watched enough of both to know that they won't be the same player in the NBA. That's a no brainer. But what I am saying is MKG and DeRozan have at least on similarity and that is - they are both complimentary pieces. Third option at best in the NBA. And that's not talking about the fact that they both can't shoot or create offense for themselves etc

But what I do know is that regardless of how they each pan out, you'll always be able to count on MKG to make the right play, rebound and defend. Whereas DeRozan can't always be counted on for any of the previously mentioned.

Fair enough, MKG's all around game cursed by the lack of offensive skillset is the thing that makes him just a complementary piece or maybe a borderline all-star level like an iggy type (tho idk how he's an all star this year lol)

Lol. I think Iggy deserves it. He's been playing pretty good ball lately and is the best perimeter defender in the league. Also he's a freak athlete. MKG is still young so I'm definitely not doggin hiim or saying he won't improve but I'd say the difference between him and Iggy is Iggy's crazy athleticism and body. MKG could potentially get that body but Iggy's athleticism as always been awe-inspiring to me.

Leslie was ALL OVER him yet Harry shot over him beautifully, who was the one that said he can only shoot over 6'5-'67 player? Isn't Leslie 6'9 with crazy long arms?

His stupidity sometimes makes me rethink why he can still be so stupid in his 3rd season. Dr. Marsofa or whatever value him so highly lol. Remember he says he would take Henson at number 2?

Yeah..beyond a possible baby hook, put backs and dunks, I don't ever seen Henson becoming even an average threat on O. I think Marcus Camby is what he ends up being IF he's able to put on weight and play C. Other than that...things look pretty bleak for him IMO.

I think its because of the sixer's recent success, I've always liked Iggy but his best season comes in after AI was gone, something like a 19/5/5 season, I was surprised he wasn't an all star that year but this year lol.

Has Zeller done anything this game? I smelled PJ3 in him.

Cmon Harry, get a freaking rebound, you only got zero! God damn it.

lol in other news, Marshall's playing well

Henson's been a bit of an idiot though lol they look for him wayyy too much down low and he takes way too many difficult shots.

I'm calling it right now, before the lottery even takes place. Harrison Barnes will be off the board by the time we pick.
