Based on those clips, nothing says number 1 overall pick.

Hunh?

First overall in the second round? Like the post above m said, nothing says number 1 pick.
So umm this is where people write stuff that they wanted repeated again, and again, and again.

I will NOT fall in that trap...

Okay, so this clip is a pretty bad representation of Khem Birch as a player (aside from the two blocks). He is a long, quick, agile, athletic 3 who has a very good shot of going high in the NBA draft. He is a defensive monster. For rebounding and blocks, he possesses a quick first jump, and just as quick of a second jump. It honestly looks like he plays the game on a pogo stick. He also has a phenomenal motor, always pushing the tempo of the game.

Stop watching at 1:38. because everything after that it's just pics of who is recruiting him (Pitt, West Virginia, UConn), and players he has been compared to (Amare & K-Mart)

Khem Birch is an awesome talent in terms of athleticism, but he definitely needs a LOT more polish. He's too raw to be a #1, IMO. He just reclassified to class of 2011 and committed to PItt. He should spend more than 1 year in college. He definitely needs the extra seasoning. Unfortunately, with that high of a recruiting rank, he'll probably come out only after a year at Pitt. If that happens, then I think there's a good chance he'll be a bust.
