HB vs. Singleton matchup

If he can score over 20 against him, AND do the same to Duke, then anything is possible for HB's draft stock as it could potentially climb back up to the top 3 ladder.

The game starts at 2 PM.

Hope someone finds the stream. If not, I will.

I would be more than shocked if he didn't score more than 20 on Duke to be honest.
HB and UNC will be bringing their best on Wednesday.

With that said, I think HB needs to perform above average (and not just meet pre season expectations) to get his stock back in the top 3.

He's quick off the bounce for his size, but not all that fluid. Still seems slow-footed on defense (especially for a potential SF). I'd say he's in the 7-10 range for me right now.

I'd just like to know who the 9 guys are you'd take before him?
I can't even find 10 prospects!

So far I have them in tiers

Tier 1 - Franchise Player
Irving

Tier 2 - Starter with All-Star Potential
Sullinger
Valanciunas
Kanter
Williams
Perry Jones III

Tier 3 - 6th Man to Starter
Terrence Jones
Jan Vesely
Harrison Barnes
Kemba Walker

For the record, Valanciunas with 19 points in 19 minutes, 8-8 from the field, 4-4 from the line, but only four rebounds today. Fairly weak Lithuanian League opponent. I have no context for how those stats translate.

I don't know enough about euroleague to analyze Valanciunas.
I'm excited to see him in the predraft events

I've watched some clips of Valanciunas - I'm pretty intrigued. He plays strictly in the paint, and seems to be an excellent pick-and-roll big. Very active on the boards from what I've seen.

He seems like an athletic Tiago Splitter or a Biedrins with offence at first glance.

Marshall is starting - was he starting before Drew left?

AMAZING sports day for me.

- Was watching Heat-Clippers
- Celts-Magic coming up on ABC
- Watching Harrison Barnes and Jared Sullinger in HD right now
- Pens @ Capitals on but not worth watching
- Tempted to watch Super Bowl pregame shows already on
- Best of all, the big game is on tonight!

It's on Comcast Sportsnet. I live in Iowa and have DirecTV so I don't think I can help you there. That one site is back up again.
