Dude is Tyreke Evans reborn! We definitely need to get another pick on this guy.


Closer to Stuckey right now, I think.

Wroten ain't Magic and Stuckey can pass a bit. Early? Sure.

The torn ACL in high school will probably help Wroten slide on draft night, they always do, but this PG crop is weak, which is why he's being called one despite being an obvious combo. But I still think he goes post-lotto and the web scouts invent a PG somewhere else.

Qmiller should stop moving around the key, that's PJ's area.

Perry Jones is still way too timid, needs to be agressive he had a good foot on that guy in the post.

Quincy Miller appears quicker on his feet tonight; rotating back to his zone quickly after giving help up top at the key and wing. Had an explosive move off the dribble where he couldn't get the scoop to go in, though followed up his own miss. Let's see if Quincy can keep this up.

Yeah i noticed that too, could just be the competition but for periods of time he looked pretty agile.

Got the rebound, went coast to coast and dished it to Acy. Nice.

congratulation to Acy scoring his 1000 points. Looks like the duo is done for the night.

quietly Kabongo looking better then Teague and Marshall. best PG prospect in the draft (not including Wroten), not going to get a lot of attention though because its a down year for the Longhorns.

I guess that this should be worth noting:

Luke Winn wrote:Sophomore small forward Harrison Barnes, who was a middle-of-the-pack defender last season, has regressed to the point that he has the worst stop percentage of any rotation player (50.6). He's allowing opponents to shoot 49.0 percent on three-point attempts, and his defensive rebounding percentage has dropped from 12.6 as a freshman to a non-factor-level 7.4. Barnes needs to be a more engaged defender if he plans on leading UNC to a national championship.

Gilchirist has been number 1 on my board for the last 2 years and my mind still hasnt changed.

Unless Drummond is available, Im taking Gilchrist to the bank.
