Against a lot of guys in the league now I'd guess probably. I'd take a shot at him off the bench. I mean the Thunder play Jeremy Grant at center sometimes. The Warriors used Jordan bell one year... Dallas uses Dwight Powell. Against guys like that I'd love to throw in Fall for 5 minutes

Cardiac Cavs! A very deserving National Championship.

This trend lately of running the clock down to a couple seconds at the end of the game and then settling for a deep three drives me nuts. All one on one, no screens or movement, just dribble then settle for a poor shot. Perdue did it and then Tech last night, nothing going to the basket where you can drive and dish and maybe get something easy.

Amazing what 20 minutes can do for your draft stock. Deandre Hunter looked like he needed another year of college until the 2nd half last night. I have not seen that Deandre yet. Hes going to go in the lottery off that 2nd half like Sam Dekker did. Hopefully it works out better for Hunter...hes def more athletic than Dekker. Problem is I see Stanley Johnson more than Paul George, although the potential is there..

 

FWIW i had Virginia over Texas Tech in the WRX pool lol. finished top 99.9%

Unfortunately I agree. I think that's the performance he needed to show, but I think another year would get him into the mindset of dominating both ends of the floor. Right now he's what Rodney Hood was when he came out... a solid player with better defense and a weaker perimeter game, but not a "can't miss" which I think he could be.

I think Hunter will declare because it's a weak draft, I could see him going top 6-7 just because it's very easy to see his fit. He can defend very well and shoot the 3, and he has good size. I was less impressed with Jarrett Culver who some think is a top 5 pick, he's an average shooter, is shorter, and struggled to get off his shot at times. I just see some flaws beyond the top 3, that make you think maybe most of the guys are going to be 5-7th man types. But I'd bet Hunter comes out because there's a chance he goes like 4th. And that's hard to pass up
