Wisconsin @ UNC
... but ya i think unc will pull away in this game, other than taylor wisconsin doesnt have anyone who can create their own shot.
Also, i know everyone loves barnes.. but i'm just not that impressed by him. He looks slow out there, i just dont really see him being anything better than a good 3rd option in the nba..
Yeah Marcus Williams is the best comparison for Marshall. But with better conditioning and more coachable.
John Henson has gotten alot better over the past 2 years. It's impressive, he has hooks with both hands now and his hands are some of the best in college basketball. He makes impressive catches on post entries and on the offensive glass.
Jordan Taylor makes good decisions running Wisconsin's offense, but he really struggles with getting separation off the bounce for his shots and to finish around the rim. That's why I don't like him much as an NBA prospect. He really is a subpar finisher around the rim.
Till this day Marcus Williams has been one of my biggest misses on evaluating an NBA prospect. Really thought that kid was going to be at least a great game manager and leader. Especially when he went to the Nets and got to sit behind Kidd, I thought that would have been the ideal situation for him and he would be successful come his time.
Henson looks much improved. His post game has improved dramatically, and he is a beast on the defensive end. I think he will keep creeping up draft boards, and will find himself as a lottery pick come the 2012 draft. He's added a little bit of weight, but he still needs to pack on about 20-25 pounds.
I can't believe how awkward McAdoo has looked thus far. I saw him in a U-18 game overseas and in the high school all-star games and thought he looked fantastic but he's just looked off to me at UNC. The tenditis he had in knee could be affecting him. I hope so. The most puzzling thing about him is his outside shot. It looks like he shoots it with two hands. It's very unusual and mostly off-target.
I think he'll be a very good college player in time. If he stays for his junior year, he could be an All-American but I'm not seeing a future super-duper star in him right now.
Post ya stuff about the game here.
