Hahaha touche' u know anything on this hairston kid? he looks legit.
just went on UNC's forum and researched and everyone said that he is a beast can score at anytime, can drive and has a wet jumper, said he is the best player on UNC's team, better than mcadoo and since his minutes have increased he has been insane, they said he reminds them of a taller marcus thornton w rebounding, kid had 29pts-9rebs the other night too, would love to get a late first and grab this kid if we go len, we could be a sg/sf twiner

Yea he's not going in the draft from what I heard tho maybe that has changed?? But he is def a slasher and scorer. Gets to the hoop at will and is a strong finisher. Haven't watched lots of him tho but from the little I have he seems legit.
After the laker game, Smart or Porter should be a lock. They are both good on the offensive and defensive ends of the court. Len, Noel, and Bennett are more one dimensional in their games. I don't put McLemore in there cause I think he'll be gone with the first or second pick. Smart is a combo guard that can play and guard multiple positions and I think Porter can guard multiple positions. I think they. We could have put either on Kobe and done a decent job after rivers got hurt. I can't wait for the off season to see the moves.
there is no doubt in my mind that this will be the most telling off season in Pelican's history....

No, but ask me anything. Lifelong UNC fan here.You'd be more likely to see Reggie Bullock make the jump. Shooting over 40% from the arc and very physical.
Wherehappens.
FWIW, what Chad Ford said about Trey Burke in yesterday's chat:
Has Trey Burke moved himself into the top 10?

No, but I'm beginning to wonder if he will ultimately land there. Scouts are obsessed with what he isn't (lacks elite size or explosive athleticism) but he's sooooooo good at everything else. If he was a better athlete, he'd remind me a lot of Chris Paul. I really, really like him. While I haven't heard anyone really mention him as a Top 10 player, I would consider him there and think that by the draft combine, scouts might as well.
Oh and speaking of UNC, the small lineup of UNC dominated Len yesterday. Do NOT want.

Not impressed with any big coming out save Anthony Bennett. Len...just can't get behind him.
I don't think it's his lack of athleticism they make me stop short of calling him a CP3 clone as much as it his lack of elite craftiness that stops the identical comparisons. I'd give the slight end of leaping and quickness to Paul and the slight end in strength and speed to Burke.

Seriously. Len had 0 points in the last 15 minutes of the game. While missing free throws.
Even a "slight" comparison is worth it, in my opinion.
Agreed
Another interesting Burke tidbit: He had 26 in that game yesterday, right?
He had 12 at the 8:00 mark in the 2nd quarter. 12.
How crafty was Paul when he was still in school? When Paul came to the Hornets is when I started watching and getting into basketball, so I never saw him in college. That's obviously more of an instinct than a coachable trait, but it can still develop, IMO. In any case, I'm not going to be unhappy if he ends up being our pick. Of course there's still plenty of time fo fall in and out of love with prospects...
You can really take away a big man in college.
"I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

Crafty enough to be a 6' player taken in the top 5.
Amen.
For a prime example see Andre Drummond last year and Andre Drummond this year.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Chris Paul was the most crafty college player I recall ever seeing.
Dribbling and ball handling can get better. Trey has improved his craftiness for his freshman season so it's do-able. I'm not sure how much more he'll improve in that area.
The one thing that Burke does that I only see PG's like Nash, Paul, and Irving do is his ability to to play at different gears in tight spaces. Those guys can get into the interior of a defense and have a gift for making the right plays. They play super quick make split second decisions, but never look rushed.
The reason I never like John Wall as a dynamic PG was because he plays the game at one gear super fast and his decision making was poor.
That's due to poor spacing in the college game most guys don't have NBA range so teams run a lot of soft zones and switching concepts. So guys are never too far away from the paint.
The college game allows more physicality in the paint and lanes compared to the NBA. However with Len, who experts say has an excellent post game on the offensive side and polished, still hasn't displayed those traits in the few games I've seen. Mainly watch UNC where PJ is a true force on the offensive side. Underrated in my opinion.

I'm in love with Marcus Smart. He'll go down as the best player from this draft, imo.
Otto porter is about to play cuse. He is gonna be good
Porter
Smart
Burke
Any of three would be awesome.
Put Smart on that list ahead of burke and you got it!
Otto about to tipoff on ESPN
