Get him on a food plan with NBA money and a strength coach and you'll see his weaknesses dissipate.

Found it ironic they talk about his lack of his post moves and post defense and talks about he handles the perimeter well. Hmm, maybe he's isn't a PF? Also a little silly to highlight his 'shot inconsistency' when he had a facial fracture and was playing with a mask on. :lol:

Have watch Kentucky or Duke much but know they have mostly 1 year players.

Watched Wisconsin

Guys you should watch are Kaminsky and Especially Decker.

Decker is Reggie Millers favorite player in the tourney.

He is a "Gamer" Watch these two if they come up big against Kentucky rather
they win or not I would consider Decker moving on up.

Excelllent Mechanics and dead on 3 for 6-9 and can get to the hoop like Ginobli

I guess i'm somewhat of a hater but I am skeptical of Kaminsky being elite in the pros...hard to ignore his stats though but we haven't seen a top 10 C/PF that's "white" that actually turned out very good in the last several years.

Damian Jones staying another year at Vanderbilt. Was ranked #30 on my last big board. So far two guys returning to school (Trimble and Jones), and one surprise entry (Vaughn).

Last American white center to make the all star team is possibly Kaman.

is Rozier III an NBA player? 1st time seeing him play in that Lou/MSU game, dude is very disruptive defensively but shooting not great. Really like his 1 man fast break abilities

DraftExpress has him at 37th. DraftNet at 19th.

All LApwnd type of analysis aside, Rozier will be a good spark off the bench but that's about it in terms of NBA impact. He has an aggressive offensive mentality with very poor shot selection.

I like the idea that we take some homerun cuts in the 2nd. Speaking of which, we might have to root for LAL to beat the Clippers in those two remaining games if we want to secure that 55th pick. Right now we're going to lose it.
