If Austin Rivers could go straight to the league, would he be the #1 pick this year?

how wouldn't we be? If he comes back, we'll essentially have the same team & possibly be preseason #1 imo. That's assuming UK loses their annual 3-4 players, & UNC players finally bolt.

Not too many teams will be bringing their core group of guys, from a top 10 team, back next year

We don't compete for a NC if Gbinje, Murphy, and Marshall don't develop.

And I can tell some of ya'll don't really watch college basketball.  Lamb and Barnes sure fire picks?  People NOT having Davis as their #1 pick?  Not even mentioning Beal yet salivating over Rivers?  A Terrence Ross mention but not Tony Wroten?  HUH?

IMO, w/ Rivers, Curry, Cook, Dawkins, Mason, Kelly, Thornton

& Hairston

coming back, any development from our other freshman would be a + & I don't think it'd be necessarily needed. Murphy prolly more than Marshall & Gbinije.... well, maybe Marshall for the sake of having a big man. Sheed also coming(not sure how much he'll contribute, if any) & wishful thinking on Shabazz as well.

Just losing Miles, I don't see how we're not NC contenders. Assuming everyone that you think is leaving, will leave, who do you think will be the top teams coming into next season?

& I completely co-sign on the Lamb & Barnes thing

& on a National level, Beal has flew way under the radar, that's probably why more people don't talk about him. I'm sure the pro scouts are taking note. Him & Rivers would be probably be SG 1a & 1b off the board, if both declare

I think without question Barnes will be the most productive in the NBA. Davis will be more of a defensive presence and will be very good at it but you can already see that Barnes has the moves and jumper to kill it at the next level.

Rivers and Lamb really can be interchangeable. Theyre both gonna be very good.

How tall is Sullinger, I still see him listed at 6'10 on some websites. I thought I heard he was only 6'8-6'9. Depending on his height he could be anywhere from 3-6.

Other than the whole beating people of the dribble thing yeah sure, all the moves.

He can back players down and shoot over the top of the defender or take 1 or 2 dribbles and pull up and shoot over the defender. Down low hes shifty and has a nice up and under. Being 6'8 and lengthy with the ability to shoot over anyone is what works in the NBA.

What NBA SF is backing down and shooting over?

Shooting over 6'4" Austin Rivers and 6'3" Seth Curry does not mean that he will be able to shoot over 6'8 LeBron, 6'10 Durant, 6'8" Luol, 6' 7" Thaddeus... These are the type of players he will be playing against... He wasn't able to shoot over a 6'5" Dulkys. I don't see him backing any of them down, especially since I haven't seen him back too many people down on the college level

You're Drunk

He has problems with turnovers, Free throw shooting, and just trying to do too much all problems that will and can be fixed 

That man is a beast and will be a problem next year in college and in the NBA for the future 

His vision, passing ability, size, quickness, speed, handling is top notch

Wroten is uber-talented, but If there's a next level dumb %%#! line between he and those before him..he crosses it about 2-3 times per half.


Done waiting/assuming Beal is going to shoot it well. Hasn't done it all year, been underwhelming.

Beal has been disappointing but I dont know what to believe with Florida, those players, that team

Wroten does turn it over quite a bit, but each game half of those turnovers is to the clumsly, stone hand, Aziz N'diaye. Wrote drops it on a time to him and he always fumbles it away.
