He looks EXACTLY like James Johnson. The one problem I have is his anxiety disorder which affects his flying experiences. And we all know how much NBA teams fly. But his game is amazing. He guarded Davis, he brought the ball up many times, he threw some beautiful passes and he's quick at 270!

I agree, that's a definite concern.

The question of the night: Is Brady Heslip (Burlington, ON) the best player on Baylor.

9-12 behind the arc! I don't know what else he does, and I don't know which year he will enter the draft, but get this kid on Team Canada! On the season, he's 44% behind the arc

Meyers was so amazing he lead his preseason top 25 team to getting their coach fired.

He's good, but not their best player by any stretch. He's their best shot maker. But without the attention Jones, Miller and Jackson get Brady would be easy to guard with his lack of athleticism.

I hate to admit it, but that midget Pierre Jackson is an NBA player, no question about it. The only thing he doesn't have is the size, but he has heart.

Sure, you can take any shot away but if he's more than just a good shotmaker. He had two big threes to save Baylor against KU. Kid has onions, the blood line, too (Jay Triano's nephew :lol:

)

And what exactly are those likely lottery selections of Baylor doing? Not much, it seems. They lose this game if Heslip doesn't go postal on Colorado.

Yeah he's a fearless shooter, but let's not mistake him for more than a spot-up shooter just because he's a Canadian kid. We've got much better Canadian talents like Joseph, Nicholson and Kabongo. But Team Canada's prospects is definitely looking up!

Prospects laying duds in the tourney so far. I'm gonna hop on the Royce White Bandwagon. Dude is 6'8 270 but can play like a PG. Hes like LeBron without the range but that can develop. His anxiety disorder is a problem though, I don't know how he is gonna workout for us.

I don't slight any of our young Canadian prospects, but even in the NBA every bench has a place for a hot shooter for situational purposes. JJ Reddick, Kyle Korver. There is room for them, too. I like anyone in the league who can do sometting really, really well.

That's exactly what I'm calling him, but like I said he's nothing more.

Unreal, DX now has Moe Harkless in the first round. Wished he was in the 2nd round, so the Raptors could nab him. Hopefully, at least one of Dion Waiters, Tony Wroten, Arnett Moultrie or Doron Lamb are in the 2nd round...

The first time I saw Harkless play I fell in love with his game. I don't even need to speak on my love for Waiters, and Jae Crowder is a beast. That is all.

Roye white is arguably the best passer in the draft. Boris Diaw and a little bit of Greg Monroe

How was MKG today? I see the crappy stats, but did he have a defensive presence in the game? How about peyton siva?

Marlo Stanfield · Post #158 » by **Marlo Stanfield** » Sun Mar 18, 2012 4:13 am

Glad you mentioned Siva. I didn't watch the game, but I'm interested in him as a back-up point. The guy seems to have that JJ Barea heart and little man game, with bounce to go along with it!

All I can say about Peyton Siva is that he's got that swagger in his game. I watched the Louisville-Davidson game, and this guy can toy around with his defender any time he wants and gets to the paint on demand. I'm trying to find this sick clip Siva pulled off. Two defenders on him he does a thru-the-leg cross, retreats his dribble with a behind the back then explodes forward with a jumpstop all on the move. **** this guy does with the ball is crazy.

EDIT: The play is at 2:00. Too nasty lol.

Draft Brady Heslip!

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