I personally very much doubt Lavine stays rated in the top 10 this season. He came out of the gates hot, but his percentages look unsustainable. He'll come back down to earth with his limited ball skills. He probably needs to stay another year.

Also, NBAdraft.net is a more up to date mock than is DX. I'd consider their mock far more accurate with regards to comments scouts are making. DX has far better player writeups.

Really? I don't think NBAdraft.net has even updated one player page since the college season started. The last Wiggins writeup was updated in 2012....

They haven't. That's not what I said.

I'm actually as impressed with Parker as I've ever been.

Let's say we end up with the 4th pick in the draft, Embiid, Parker, Wiggins go 1,2,3

Would you guys like a Ersan to Houston, Asik to Phi, Thad Young to MKE deal, and then draft Smart or Exum, assuming we are going for it next year?

Exum/Smart, Wolters
Middleton, Mayo
Giannis, Delfino
Young, Henson
Sanders, Miroslav, ZaZa

Thaddeus Young is much better suited at power forward than small forward. I'm not sure his three point shooting holds up given how it's suddenly come out of nowhere. If Exum or Smart are the guy, we need shooters to space the floor.

His composure. I love that he's still playing hard and not letting missed shots affect the rest of his game. And for the most part, the shots he's missing aren't bad shots. Notre Dame is playing really good defense.

I'm looking forward to seeing how he adjusts in the second half. Would love to see if he can be more of a playmaker for his teammates.

Definitely a no. Didn't realize you had him plugged in at the four. Still terrible floor spacing throughout that roster. No real interest in Young.

If Exum or Smart are the guy, I'd prefer to just roll with what we have and see if our roster can work itself out. Think it might be a bit shortsighted to commit 16 million to Young when you don't know how the pieces are going to fit together

Do not watch college basketball other than the tournament but close games like this are a lot of fun to watch. I could do without the timeouts every other possession though
