its my first time watching him too, looks interesting so far

Yeah I see his stats but he's a joy to watch too.

On the other hand, Baylor is disappointing me. It seems their record is the way it is only because they're facing inferior opponents. They can't get anything to go at all. They're not running back on D and giving up wayyyyyyy too many second chance points from the offensive rebound.

On another note as well... what's up with Miller's handles? Seems to cough it up a bit more often than I'm comfortable seeing. And Perry needs to start utilizing his height and Jackson has the ball in his hand too much and for too long.

Dumb gamble for the steal by PJ3. Robinson momentum dunk.

Looks like Baylor's checked out mentally.

Baylor is not playing good defense at all.

Looks like the Raptors out there right now.

Millers handles has been overrated from high school and its showing it ever since the beginning of the season. In high school he gets away with all those ball carrying but he just wont get away with it at college level...lets just say, hes basically just shoot if he has a chance when open, or relying on his height advantage to baby hook over smaller defenders since he doesnt have the handle right now...

I hope the conference playoffs and March Madness bring some clarity because so far, none of the top 10 draft prospects, with the exception of maybe Gilchrist, are really make a stellar case for why they should be a high pick. There is certainly no superstar in this draft #OverHyped.

PJ3 and QMiller just dont have the `it` factor. Big time players should take over or at least bring the game back...right now I dont see anything from those two.

I agree. I can see MKG being a force in march madness, his competitive desire will bring his team far.

Anthony Davis is averaging 6.2 combined blocks and steals per game. Not sure why that isn't a strong case.

How tall is Robinson, really?

I agree for PJ3, he's had the opportunity. But has Quincy really gotten a shot to succeed? It doesn't seem like he's ever given the ball and just told to do something positive.

He was measured at 6'10" w/ a 7'1" wingspan in the summer, but he looks closer to 6'9"/6'8" to me.

Looked (he's out) clearly shorter than Perry, no?

he has. he just knock down a few shots, even when he was given the ball he passes back out.

He's not really capable of taking over a game. I always thought his handles were overrated. It seems like whenever I see him try to dribble in front of a defender, he gets plucked.

Nice, Quincy.

Marlo Stanfield · Post #1519 » by **Marlo Stanfield** » Tue Jan 17, 2012 4:31 am

I don't know fellas, I think it's still to early for any of us to make a fair judgement but it just seems to me like we have a Fresh Prince situation and the entire Baylor offense is centered around the phrase "Pass it to Perry!"

fredericklove · Post #1520 » by **fredericklove** » Tue Jan 17, 2012 4:32 am

Too little too late, Quincy, should have been aggressive and be a leader to score when the game was close.

Who do you want the Raptors to draft in the 2012 NBA Draft?
