UCONN is so overrated, as are its prospects. I LOL at the people who claim Napier is a prospect.

Go Orange.

Napier is trash lol

Wow, UK losing to powerhouse Arkansas Little Rock at the half. (5-10, and #225 according to KenPom)

Just want to make it a clear -- Lamb is money as a player and a prospect. But they get hyped as a team because Drummond is on the team. And while a good prospect, he is merely average as an NCAA player at this point.

Why Napier has been hyped as a prospect is totally beyond me.

Kidd-Gilchrist knocking down the 3-pt shot. Stroke looks decent.

Same, but it might be because I've been a big fan of both Kemba and Lamb, and Napier simply doesn't pass enough

She's not bad, I don't really look at her in that way but she has a pretty nice body, no question about that. Apparently she was wearing yoga-pants at the time, and sounds like that was what sold Davis on her.

Nah, she's not that type - she's a good girl who is has a bf and is really loyal.

Wait, one's shallow if they call someone who is ugly just that - ugly? Interesting.

Exactly.

Herb Pope is a Big East Player of the Year Candidate from Seton Hall -- averaging 19pts, 11 rebounds a game.

Andre Drummond was asked in an interview yesterday how he and UConn will defend Pope, in advance of his matchup with Pope this evening. His answer - "Who is Herb Pope". Not in a cocky way, but purely as he said it -- he did not know who Herb Pope was.

How can you be so unprepared and lack knowledge of the opposition like that. Sends out all kinds of red flags about not really loving the game.

i've become a MKG fan. i don't think rap's pick will be top 5, so MKG would be a good target to shoot for in raps' slot

In regards to drafting a SF - I've always liked Barnes, but I'm starting to hear a lot of good things about MKG.

Despite all the MKG hype, I still really like Barnes. I also think Barnes is a much better fit on this roster than MKG.

I'll take the gamble on PJIII or Lamb over both.

I would be very happy with PJIII as well.

That's totally irrelevant with our current talent level.

Yeah...some GMs think the Baylor system doesn't know how to use PJ3 the right way and think he can be a star if he pans out and used correctly...I'd happy too if he is competent for the SF role for us, and I'll definitely take him or MKG or Barnes over Miller. 8-)

Right now Im feeling any of the big SF names - PJ3, MKG, or Barnes.

Dont draft for need I know but I really would love this team to have a badass SF for Gods sake, its been too long.

I doubt all those guys plus Drummond and Davis are gone after the first six so Im feeling pretty good about this draft

Austin Rivers = sleeper of the first round. Dude has a mixture of Tyreke, Ellis, Curry written all over him & that's not a bad thing at all.

I agree with what you're saying, draft BPA. But I really think Barnes is an extremely talented, team first player. Best of both worlds.

unless we want to totally rebuild and ignore everything DC has taught this year he wouldn't fit on this team

We already have our point guard for the next decade/

Who do you want the Raptors to draft in the 2012 NBA Draft?
