I really think that T-Rob has solidified himself at the #2 spot. He plays with such passion and he is really the total package for a power forward.

an ncaa basketball team has never had their championship vacated so I guess I'm excited to look forward to history.

Sigh

So sad that college ball is officially over. We're back to watching the...Raptors. Is it safe to say this kentucky team will beat Wall/Cousin team?

As I said earlier... does UK have a Dwayne Casey as an assistant coach. Casey (The Raptors Coach) was caught delivering cash to players in the late 80's.

Before the tourney I would laugh at this, but after tourney I say yes. He should be the 2nd pick in this draft.

(keep in mind when analyzing Sully and DAvis' game.

They shut down Davis like they shut down bigs all year.

Kentucky's a very good team obviously and the deserving champions, but I wonder if Barkley still thinks they could beat an NBA team.

Trob playing himself into a top 3 picks is great news for us. He's the only sure thing after Anthony Davis. Means one of Beal/MKG/Lamb will definitely be available for us, at a min. MKG is too unselfish for his own good. When he starts seeing them pay cheques, and gets rid of that mental block in his head from his state championship failure, he's gonna be a top tier player.He's the one guy that could drop out of the top three, but end up being the second best pick down the road, similar to how dwayne wade was taken after Carmelo,Bosh and Darko.

That said, we get #2, we'd be fools to not take Trob and pair him with Jval.

I'm excited for this off season.

No doubt a solid effort from TRob (17 rebounds!!!) but the 6-17 is worrying. UK defense was fantastic.

likely much worse.

Terrence Jones committed to Washington but was still pursued by Cal (Huge nono in ncaa).
Teague was supposed to go to Louisville until Kentucky came out of nowhere after his brother signed an above market deal with Nike.
Teague, Davis, Jones, MKG haven't been to class since December.

Yeah, he shot horribly but so did AD so we'll keep it hush hush :lol:

TRob would create such a huge logjam but I guess we would have to deal with it and pray we can net a decent return on the wings for Davis + Bargnani.

If Anthony Davis goes #1 and the Raps get the # 2 pick, who gets drafted?
