Ehh...I don't know.

To be honest, I haven't at all been impressed with Knight as a potential PG in the NBA. He has the height and is a little quick but isn't what I'd call athletic. He also isn't as good of a facilitator as I'd like him be. He has a jumper though...

But I don't know, I'm not a Kemba fan but he just sort of has that intangible "it" factor to him. I really don't think Kemba is going to be that good of a pro either but he has the potential to surprise me.

I think he is vastly over-rated, he isn't a very good floor general at all. He made several bad passes tonight that kept the game closer then it needed to be. Brandon Knight was even worse, but he is just a freshman. I think Kemba is just another under-sized combo guard at the pro level.

Kudos to UConn, didn't think they would do it. Both teams sort of sucked, Kentucky killed themselves. I thought they would pull away after the start of the second half, just never did. The fact they were losing in the first was amazing, they owned the glass/turnovers. Shots just weren't falling.

Mix bag for Jones, Knight.
Kemba did exactly what I thought, Oriakhi and Lamb really stepped up.

He is kind of like the George Karl of college basketball, great in the regular season, has the better talent, but finds a way to choke when it counts.

Knight reminds me of Jrue Holiday (but will not fall in the draft). His size and play style makes him a perfect person for Billups to teach.

Kemba makes everyone better because of the amount of attention that defenses pay to him when he's on the court. His passing is also underrated IMO...while he still does make some stupid passes/poor decisions, he's a hell of a player. As for a comparison for him - smaller Derrick Rose anyone?

Can you really blame Cal though? IMO it's not his coaching ability that is the difference - it's either the team missing threes (last year and Rose's Memphis team) or missing FTs (this year).
