Burke is in the Chris Paul mold but not young Chris Paul but more Chris paul of today which to me seems like he's lost a step but is still a great PG. McCullom is in the Steph Curry mold, can score in almost every way possible and is a great shooter. Can't choose between McCullom or Burke, both have skills that i like

McCullom. Has great NBA size + great shooter + great handle.

I know man it sounds great, but how do we snag him? he has Lillard written all over him but i have no idea of his true range. He's lotto for sure but idk the workouts and interviews may push him up or down, wish i could just fast forward to the draft lol

First time watching Oladipo play live quite honestly, they got him at the SF spot? kinda undersized to play 3 don't you think? he must have an absurd wingspan

Everyone is undersized in college. You can get away with it at that level.

#5 Alioune Diouf of James Madison is 6-5.......He is guarding Oladipo.....Notice anything?

I am changing my estimate to 6'2.5" max.

He actually reminds me more of Deron Williams in style of play. Size too.

Question: why is Trey Burke 'undersized' at the PG at 6'1" when Chris Paul is the league's best at 6'0"?

Especially when so many experts see parallels in their play style?

Surely CP3 should serve as an example that a guy like Burke could be a resounding success.

Is he harmed by the fact that he's a sophomore?

Otto Porter's Georgetown about to tip off.

If we weren't deep at the SF position with Hark and Tobes I'd seriously consider this kid. He does it all.

That said, we've probably got our eye on a certain Canadian SF for in a year's time.

Joel Embust · Post #1848 » by **Joel Embust** » Fri Mar 22, 2013 11:00 pm

Otto Porter already the most impressive of the NBA prospects after 4 mins of play.

add Porter to the list of crappy games, he's been a dud so far, not very impressive

Florida Gulf Coasts PG is the best passer I've seen all year.

And another top 5 pick bites the dust!!

BadMofoPimp · Post #1852 » by **BadMofoPimp** » Sat Mar 23, 2013 1:39 am

Are the top prospects up there only based on hype?

KillMonger · Post #1853 » by **KillMonger** » Sat Mar 23, 2013 2:00 am

Well while it's bigger stakes it's really only a few games, it's about the whole bady(john mayer) of work. Not saying that it doesn't look bad it does but it's not really going to affect these guys too much. Guess a lot of stakes are going to be riding on the combine workouts and interviews

Kansas (McLemore) just started on TNT a few minutes ago

Didn't take long for him to prove me wrong. Teams are tanking a season too early.

Are you talking about brett comer? he played with Austin rivers at winter park hs, ive always enjoyed watching him play. he plays with alot of heart

I really am not into college hoops. It's almost as bad as watching the WNBA. McLemore is basically non-existent on the floor. He just keeps passing off to teammates.

My thoughts exactly. How is a ballmover and spot up shooter the consunsus no.1 pick?

InFlames · Post #1859 » by **InFlames** » Sat Mar 23, 2013 2:58 am

McLemore doing absolutely nothing this game.

magicman123 · Post #1860 » by **magicman123** » Sat Mar 23, 2013 3:04 am

wow all bad games from Smart, Mclemore, Shabazz, Porter, Burke, Bennett, and Olidapo
