Harrison Barnes is at the Jordan Brand Classic, and was just asked if he's made a decision yet, and he said no. He said he'll make a decision "some time soon".

Nice, that's a good sign I just hope he makes his decision soon, I cant stand waiting to find out.

How are Kabongo and Birch doing?

Kabongo has shown his explosive speed in the open court; other than that, though, he's been fairly invisible in the 2nd half.

Birch played the better game of the two. Good energy on the boards.

The guy that's impressed me the most, from watching this game, is Bradley Beal. This guy is going to be very good player in the NBA, I have no doubt. And then, McAdoo as well, who kind of reminds me of Derrick Williams, except he's probably more crafty and skilled, whereas Williams uses his combination of strength + athleticism.

Gilchrist has been as good as advertised. Offensively, he's limited to a dribble-drive game, but as he improves his jumpshot, I expect him to become more well-rounded.

Anthony Davis is probably going to get the MVP of this game, 29 pts. 11 rebs. Easily could be the 1st overall pick whenever he's allowed to come out, 2012 draft or not.

Beal, Davis, Gilchrist, McAdoo, and a handful of other intriguing 'potential' guys here. Very good class.

Thanks.

Is Kabongo at least getting his teammates involved, or is he just not really showing anything at all?

Oh yeah. Kabongo set up his teammates pretty well in transition. I didn't see him in the halfcourt, because it was an Exhibition game - you don't expect to see halfcourt basketball. I think his problem is turnovers at this point. We'll get a better idea of him when he plays at Texas.

Looks like McAdoo had a good game, how about P.J. Hairston? If both did good, hopefully that changes HB's mind assuming coach william wants him out of the lineup to have those duo to fit in and get more touches XD.

McAdoo is the best HS player in the country, followed closely by Davis...Rivers is a selfish chucker..way overrated

Hairston was having a good game..great shooter good D, and they kept talking about how him an McAdoo always room together and will room next year too and they they built a lot of chemistry together

Well that's good.

He's advertised as a pure point guard with an uncanny ability to find his teammates. So if he's doing that, at least he's staying true to form.

Hopefully he's able to keep his turnovers down in college while still being able to pile up the assists.

I'm excited for next season already.

So is it confirmed that harrison barnes is going back to UNC? it would be sweet if we had the number 3 pick and selected him. Derozan, Barnes and Davis as the future big 3? it would be a nice picture on the cover of SLAM magazine

. Kanter reminds me a lot of Paul Gasol. Mind you potential is a big word to throw around, especially in Raptor land.

Waylon Mercy · Post #574 » by **Waylon Mercy** » Sun Apr 17, 2011 3:26 am

Whats the plan if we get screwed and end up with the 5th pick and
Irving, Williams, Barnes, and Kanter are gone?

Then whats the consensus pick at 5?

Some say trade the pick, other say take Knight or Walker or Biyombo ( :roll:

). There's never a consensus on RealGM.

I like Vesely at 5. Maybe Knight if he impresses in workouts and shows a good PG game

Vesley's intriguing because of his athleticism but from what I've read of his defense, i'm not interested

Did you or another Raptors fan make this? Because if so we should get the 1st pick for that alone

What would the Celtics do in this situation? Oh wait...

Gilchrist got the awkwardness going on again, "ITS CRAZZZY"!! But nonetheless, the guy can ball! Can't wait to see him play in kentucky.
