2011/12 NCAA Prospect & Game Thread

[RichBoy923]

Id suggest watching more Kentucky games. Yes Davis needs to put on 15-20 pounds, but undersized for a PF? Pleeease. There is no resemblance in Okafor and Davis at all other than they were both great shot blockers in college. Okafor wishes he had Davis' wingspan, handles, and shot (hit a 3 today)

He has been hitting 3s lately. I want to say at least one in all the SEC Tourney games. I always heard he could shoot because of his days as a guard but it didn't show early on in the season. He seems to be improving his "outside" game progressively.

Davis is so skilled in terms of what he can do with the ball.

lol let's not get ahead of ourselves. Davis has made a total of three 3s all season.

That's what I am saying. He hadn't been hitting his outsides shots early on. When I say "outside" I don't just mean 3s. I mean anything that's not a dunk or hook for him. He has steadily improved his "outside" shot throughout the season. If you watched him early on, even in the beginning of SEC play, he wasn't hitting many of his outside shots.

I am just saying that it's a good sign he is hitting his 3s because he is getting his shooting groove.

Barnes may not be Durant version two but he is definitely not "garbage"

Also Anthony Davis at 19>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Okafor at 19.

People forget Okafor came out as a junior after winning the NCAA's and his upside was limited in comparison to someone like Davis.

That said Davis has a much more diverse game than Emeka and will develop into a "special" pro, Even as different players I find it safe to say that Davis' floor is Emeka's ceiling.

(& I love Okafor so no knock on him)

Not saying Barnes is garbage.........

Not saying it - even though you said it twice in two different posts?

Just going to throw this out there because it hasn't been said enough. I'm a huge carolina fan, but Barnes is garbage --

Who you got as the better player in these pairings right now?

Davis Vs Drummond (pretty obvious me thinks!!)
MKG Vs Barnes
Sullinger Vs Robinson
PJIII Vs Henson
Beal Vs J.Lamb
Miller Vs T.Jones
Zeller Vs Leonard
Young Vs Ezeli
Rivers Vs D.Lamb

I think people are getting way too defensive about me saying Davis doesn't have three point range lol. Calm down guys, he's not even on our team yet (ever).



Slam, better player now, better player in the league, or better player for our team?

Davis(This is too easy)
MKG(Better Ballhandler, better defender, can score after two dribbles unlike Barnes)
Robinson(Both are undersized...Sullinger reminds me entirely too much of McMay the more I see him)
PJII(Henson only does on thing well....PJ3 can do much more when he wants to)
T.Jones(More of his game translates over to the NBA, plus there's no injury history)
Zeller(Leonard reminds me way too much of Mully)
Rivers(If Rivers went to Kentucky he's the 2nd overall pick....easily...., plus I think he's more well rounded than Lamb)

Davis Vs Drummond - Davis. Not a big fan of Drummond.
MKG Vs Barnes - MKG. This one's a toss up. I think I have slightly converted to a MKG over Barnes guy. I have watched more of MKG than Barnes and he really does work hard. I just find it difficult in seeing him become a superstar. Barnes, in that regard, has an edge.
Sullinger Vs Robinson - Robinson. Really like Sullinger, but like T Rob better. He might not have all the post moves of Sullinger but T Rob does work in the post. He also can step out and hit the mid range. Sullinger just seems to be stuck between two positions.
PJIII Vs Henson - Haven't seen enough of either to comment. But for the Bobcats I would lean towards PJIII
Beal Vs Lamb - Beal. I just see him being able to do more than Lamb. Good shooter, good passer, good rebounder, and adequate defense.
Miller Vs T.Jones - Haven't seen enough of Quincy but don't really like Jones's game.
Zeller Vs Leonard - Haven't seen enough of either to comment.
Young Vs Ezeli - Young. Both really aren't that polished in the post but Young has improved his jump hook shot.
Rivers Vs D.Lamb - Lamb. This one I am not too sure about but don't know where Rivers stands position wise. Does better with the ball in his hands, but he isn't a distributor.
