There's going to be a lot of talent on the floor in the Duke/UNC guys next season. Was impressed with a lot of them, even if it is just a pickup game.

    Yea I always have a good time watching it. Actually one of my favorite basketball plays ever happened during a McDAAG, when Greg Oden blocked a shot shot from the elbow while he was pretty much at the rim.

    Somehow I missed this series of essays, but holy shit they are awesome. Nearly every UK player has written an essay about this season during different points of it.

    Here's Willie's from earlier this week and there's links to the others in the article if anyone is interested. I'm surprised how well they all write.

    They probably have someone help edit it before it gets published. Not saying that to be mean, as professional writers have editors too, but there's no doubt that someone reviews what they print before allowing the public to read it.

    Well yeah I assumed that..anyone that publishes anything would have it edited if they really wanted to be taken seriously. I just mean how they didnt try too hard but still wrote compelling and well written pieces.

    Looks like Roy will finally have a guy leave for the draft and not be drafted in the first round. Best of luck to him in finding a place in the league. Time for Johnson and Hicks to step up next year.

    It's good that a lot of the young bigs got solid playing time this season. Hopefully Brice can improve on D, he and Meeks could be a very good frontcourt.

    If Brice improves on D there's a decent chance the Heels upgrade with their starter at the four. The key will be Hicks breaking out so they don't have to rely on James and Hubert in the post. I think Hicks has got talent, but struggled playing the entire year out of position. He was lost trying to learn how to play the three and seemed to overthink everything whenever he was on the court.

    Hicks in the post, even inexperienced at that position at the college level, has got to be better than Hubert.

    Good read on Patric Young's journey and how he's mentoring Chris Walker this year. No mention of his mediocre defensive skills, though.

    ^ for the rep UK fans get, this guy gets more butt hurt by saying anything critical about Florida than anyone I've ever come across

    He hasn't lived up to a 5* McDonald's all American lottery pick he was supposed to be. I will be shocked if he amounts to anything in the NBA. For his size he's very mediocre defensively but he's in the final four so congrats to him. Get over it

    I couldn't care less if he ends up a good NBA player or not, he's done more than enough good for UF basketball.

    And please cite examples of his mediocre defensive play. While you're at it, please also explain how the SEC defensive POY award goes to a mediocre defender. Then also explain how he just won the Big Man of the Year award given by the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

    But I'm sure if he played Kentucky, he'd be the bee's knees, right?

    Then again, drugs haven't done your brain any good so I don't even know why I bother.

    Did McAdoo hire an agent and I just didn't see that reported? Wonder if he might be pulling a Russ Smith here. Although like I said, they pay money for playing ball in Europe too. And maybe he's happy being a second round pick, it's a dream fulfilled regardless when your name gets called I'm sure. Just hope it gets called.

    55 on draft express's board, so consensus is that he is later 2nd round to undrafted. All it takes is one team though.
