Jimmer is the total package as a scorer.

Mainly Jimmer not that I think either of them will amount to much in the NBA.

Walker looking to create for others. He has not looked for his shot thus far.

3 asts early on.

Jeremy Lamb is a legit pro prospect.

Good player

I do think that T-Jones will be an NBA rotation guy but a major building block? i'm not feeling it, for this team at least. he seems pretty dependent on his pivot hookshot. i don't think he's as quick as Wright or JJ. i still think he's a player, the star qualities just seem to be lacking.

can't wait to see Barnes in action in the tourney. just how good of a defender is he? will he come up with clutch hoops? i'm starting to worry that he's unlikely to be available with our pick but who knows. his combination of quiet charisma, size, athleticism, shooting ability, work ethic and intangibles isn't going to last long in this draft.

I think it's imperative that we continue getting more and more athletic so we can put a better defensive team on the floor. the position that makes sense is small forward. if the guy can shoot the 3 ball, all the better, which is why HB is so tantalizing. however, if Vesely or Perry Jones have great defensive potential, you've got to take a long look. If BC can find a guy a Shawn Marion-type in this draft we'd be in pretty good shape.

^^ one of the knocks on Vesely is his lateral quickness in defending him man...that's one of the reasons I'm not as high on him.

He referred to himself as a 4, although on certain teams, like ours, he could play the 3.

Im torn on barnes or perry jones at 2, Baylor fans say Jones could handle the ball well, and often leads breaks. Thats definitely encouraging, and I think a year as our starting sf he could really develop.

Walker is simply dominating this game.

He's been amazing. He has controlled the tempo of the game to a tee.

At google-it-yourself o'clock.

Dagger- is this man somewhere between Kirilenko and a pre-injury Zarko Cabarkapa, who, of course, BC drafted in Phoenix?

I'm convinced - Kemba Walker is going to be an impact player in the NBA.

Bucknell showed hard off the UCONN screens, and he'd immediately move the ball to an open shooter. He managed the game to near perfection, and when he got a chance, looked to score.

He's finished for the game.

18 pts (5-11 FGs, 2-5 3pt FGs), 8 rebs. 12 asts, and 2 stls. with just 2 TOs.

Kemba has obvious flaws to his game that will hinder him at the next level. Furthermore, he is a third year player and seeing what he does against Bucknell tells you literally nothing that factors into a draft discussion.

Kemba might surprise people early on, but if teams game plan for him he's gonna become a role player at best which just doesn't fly at point guard in the NBA anymore unless you're a back-up. His best case scenario is Ty Lawson in my opinion and that's ok I guess but not a top-10 pick.
