MKG is pretty crafty on the break.

Fast and strong with the ball. Not unlike Tyreke in that way.

This is what I feared would happen. MKG seperating himself from the field.

15 and 9 at the half against top competition?!

He had a very good half. He's extremely active and a very good passer. Good to see him hit a couple catch and shoot threes. He still looks raw offensively to me. He got stuffed a couple of times by Dieng and he airballed a turnaround jumper. The last play of the half showed his offensive limitations.

If he works on his offensive game and shows that he can create his own shot off the dribble and develops a post game, he can turn out to be quite the player, because the rest of his game is solid.

Let's say somehow the Raptors are picking later than expected and guys like Barnes, Jones III, Drummond, Lamb, MKG, Leonard, A.Davis and Q.Miller are all off the board, who would you take?

Beal, Sullinger, Kabongo, Rivers???

Beal and Kabongo of that group for me. I think Teague has potential. Another guy people aren't talking about who may go later in the first round is Shabazz Napier. He's really improved his shooting to go along with his penetrating ability, passing and aggressive D.

MKG looks like he has no problem getting to the basket.

Finishing on the other hand...

Louisville is in horrible foul trouble. They will have to relieve the press. UK should start to pull away,

What a game from MKG, he's everywhere on the court.

Drummond finally showed up.
