i don`t think his game relies on athleticism, its all rely on his motor, hes an athlete but thats not the trigger to his game, he has long arms frame and very good at anticipate plays on both ends, athleticism isnt the foundation of his game imo.

LMAO @ calling MKG a risk just to excuse being on the wrong bandwagon.

I was the first person being with MKG #1 on his draft board. I sit back and watch humanity catch up to me.... again.

Beal has some impressive ball-handling skills.

This troll must be a comedian by night. You weren't even close to being first with MKG, don't lie to yourself. You can have all the credit for Pu**y Jones if you want though.

That was some incredible ball-handling by Bradley Beal with the crossover then the hesitation inside-out for the draw-and-kick, but Wilbekin missed the open three-point jumper.

AD is a true superstar prospect. Must have been a volleyball player or something. So fluid with the dribble too.

How can one skinny man take up so much space? Look at how open the lane was without Davis! Wow.

Beal is just so good at cutting into the lane, and very good at drawing contact too, thats something that Jeremy Lamb couldnt do, he couldnt draw contact

And there it was - Boynton's WTF threes, over a five minute stretch. Of course UK had such a big league it didn't matter.

Serious questions here, as I haven't been following college basketball that closely.

Does MKG have a better jumper than James Johnson? What are the differences between MKG and James Johnson?

Same, but I actually somewhat like Steely's rankings.
