How is Kabongo doing? I hear he's a pure PG and I know you guys are intrigued by him, what's the deal with him in this upcoming draft and is he the guy for us? Do we go for a solid NBA PG this summer and draft a wing to overcome Derozans deficiencies?

The vision, motor, character and athleticism are there but the skills are not, IMO. He has potential but it might be best for him to play 2 more years, not just one, and I'd love to see him become a top college PG first. I think that is very possible. Lately we've seen lots of good PGs stay in college 3-4 years and come in looking ready, he might be one of those.

Kabongo has the potential to be a great drive and kick point guard, but he is still a project at this point. He will likely be selected late first round unless he somehow propels the Longhorns really late into the tournament. I think he is definitely worth taking a chance on though, there is a lot to like about his game, and his change of pace, court vision, and pass first instincts are very intriguing.

I agree with those who feel Kabongo should stay a year or two more in college. I just think prospects need to conquer one level of play before jumping to the next.

Kabongo would look much better if he had anyone to play with if TT and Joseph there he would be top 10.

After watching a couple Baylor games this year I would absolutely love to see both PJ3 and Q. Miller on the Raps. They play very well together (considering it's only been 15 games together). It's a dream draft that likely won't happen but still both of them would be nice.

A lineup of something like:

Bayless/body
DD/Forbes
Miller/Johnson
Bargs/PJ3
Val/Amir

Not a bad lineup there. Obviously I'm assuming we have to trade Ed Davis, Calderon and probably a 2013 draft pick but I can dream!

Turble.

The announcers talking about what I hate, using Lamb like Rip at SF with two PGs.

Uh-oh, Lamb hurt?

Drummond looking beastly.

Ok, Boatright is looking for Drummond and playing well.

If Boatright stays another year or 2 at UConn he's gonna be a good one

Helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll NO

Maybe its because I was only around for the later years but I don't think Gary Payton ever had as low a BBIQ as Wroten.
