wall cousins were way more talented but mkg and davis are way better team players.
MKG IMO is what makes Kentucky great and be able to overcome their in experience.

He's sickening to watch

What is he supposed to do? Q Miller cannot create his own shot same for Acy and Co..And PJIII is not knocking down his open Js

No chance? This team isnt the best for nothing. He was a big part of this team last year too. His game will translate, losing a bit of weight would help his game. Hes very strong with a good first step. He has good handles and athletism. His shot still needs work but i like the intensity he plays the game with. His game will translate just wait!

He'll be really good during the final 4 mins of the game for us, 4 mins of garbage time will be where he shines the most.

I like Darius Miller too. This team is good.

MKG is locking down Jackson and scoring at will. He threw one down on Quincy that's going to make him stay out of the draft.

funny story: I was trying to explain to the girl im with about why I keep watching all these college games of teams I hate. I told her I was scouting players for the raptors and she asked me how much I got paid.
I didn't have the heart to correct her.

I hope whoever had concerns about MKG's finishing traffic is watching this game. He had a dribble-drive down baseline finishing over the outreached arms of PJ3 and a dunk over Quincy Miller.

Geting Davis would do wonders for our team. Hes a franchise player, all he needs to do is get stronger and polish his offensive game. If he stays healthy hes a potential superstar. 20/15/5bpg type numbers. Now thats only if he does the things i mentioned. If he doesnt which would be a real suprise. He could still put up 15/10/3bpg. Thats the kind of potential he has

Wilt most likely did, and Davis > Chamberlain 8-)

Tell her it varies, depends if the raptors draft him.

Very few player's have ever done 20-15. I don't believe 5bpg has ever been done, let alone the 20-15 as well.

Are you saying that PJ3 = Durant and Quincy = Ibaka ? or PJ3 = LBJ and Quincy = Bosh ?

Davis and Valanciunas would be scary in a few years... one of the best front courts in the NBA.

I explained that same story to my gf too, I felt stupid after she asked me if they pay me.

Chad Ford ‏ @chadfordinsider
Hoping Harrison Barnes is watching MKG right now. UNC needs that sort of effort from him to beat Kansas

MKG putting Barnes on the hot seat!

I'm from Europe, people don't watch US college ball here at all. If I tell someone i watch college ball for scouting i get similar comments

There's only been 14 players in NBA history that have averaged 20/15 in a season. There's only been 8 players in NBA history that have averaged 4 or more bpg in a season (and only Manute Bol and Mark Eaton have cracked the 5bpg level). I think Davis can be great, but those are very unreasonable expectations for him. 15/10/3 would be excellent production from him

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