There are certainly factors to it, but the depths they have fallen to are hard to fathom.

Irving or Rivers who would you rather have? Discuss

Hard to tell considering we have a grand total of 8 college games to judge. From what I've seen of Rivers he looks more like an undersized SG than he does a PG. Irving on the other hand is a PG through and through.

If you get Irving in this draft you take him and run and then let the chips fall where they may in 2012.

rivers isn't a pg.
He's not in this draft class so IMO not really worth discussing.

Exactly. Makes no sense in discussing Rivers. I care nothing about high school highlights. Once they make the leap to the NCAA then we should really start analyzing there games. But as of now, By far Kyrie. No question.

mcdonalds all americans will be announced very soon.

Hopefully both Josiah Turner and Nick Johnson make it in. Although they deserve too, politics are always in play.

Is there a problem with Brandon Knight and the way he projects as a player or is he a candidate to be a high riser on draft boards as the season progresses? He's ranked 22 in draftexpress's mock in a weak draft and he's ranked as their 25th best prospect overall.

Dude's 18, a fairly effective shooter and possesses NBA range, has quickness, and has good size and decent length. The assists don't look terrible, but the turnovers are alarming. The negatives seem correctable with experience.

Would the Miami pick and Bayless be enough to move up high enough to nab him? Would it be something to explore if we struck out on Irving?

I'll be honest, I'd rather just keep Bayless. And I thought Knight was a decent PG prospect in the summer. Just not enough PG instincts and too many turnovers.

99% of the realgm population would take Irving over River. 1% of those prefer River over Irving are complete idiots

Valancuinas' Euroleague game today against Malaga : 12 pts (4/7 FG, 4/4 FT), seven boards, two blocks in 21 minutes as a starter.

Didn't see the game so can't evaluate those numbers.

Only BCS Mismatches Tonight on the Tube - not much to scout when Auburn and Depaul play in games.

Auburn had a game this year where they only had SIX points at the Half!!

pac 10 refs suck.

Derrick is playing well. his hand is still not 100% but he is still dominating down low and helping his teams offense a lot.

sunny · Post #596 » by **sunny** » Fri Feb 4, 2011 3:34 am

and why arnt you guys watching!!!!!!

you gotta watch Derrick.

JN · Post #597 » by JN » Fri Feb 4, 2011 3:39 am

I don't feel like streaming a game, would rather just watch TV.

It is good that Sportsnet / Sportsnet One pick up a lot of Pac-10 games this year, because ESPN gives them almost no games.

Hopefully there is a pac 12 station next year.
their tv coverage is beyond awful. Actually, pretty much everything about how the conference is run is beyond awful.

every single game I say to myself that its the worst reffed game i've ever seen. Some how, the next one always tops it.

Derrick just got his fourth foul for doing absolutely nothing.
