This Duke team is a legit threat to Kentucky. They move the ball fairly well and the can shut down teams.

It will be interesting to see how Okafor would fair well against the two towers of KY., but from the looks of this game, it looks Duke has more than Okafor to throw at anyone.

Jah just makes the game look so effortless. Brilliant post moves. Most polished NBA ready big (offensively) I have seen in a long time.

As much as I hate tanking, and really would like to see Boston make the playoffs, I really would be beside myself if the Celtics ever were able to get their hands on this kid. I'm biased (Duke fan), but this kid is the real deal.

Wisconsin's Nigel Hayes is the real deal. 6-8 220 SF with a wingspan of 7-2 and shoots 39% from
3. He has the most upside of any Badger.  I'm hoping he declares this year so we can snatch him with the Clippers pick, as he hasn't been showcased playing with Kaminsky and Dekker.

I'm a big fan of Hayes. I don't understand why he isn't ranked higher on boards, and I expect that to change after Wisconsin makes a deep tournament run.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz

In college he is a bull in a china shop.   I do not think it will be so easy for him in the pros.   I think he will have a nice career but I expect him to be a better Elton Brand.   He is not an elite athlete by any means.  A lot of NBA players are strong and will push back something he does not get a lot of in college.  Many of the NBA big guys can run and jump too, some of ours excluded from that list.

Yeah, when you watch Wisconsin that's the guy that has the most upside and it's not really that close (and I like Dekker). I'm hoping he doesn't rise up boards so we can grab him with the Clips pick, but the combine, which I expect him to excel in, could change that regardless of how he fares during the tourney.

Sam Dekker slowly creeping up in the draft?  Last season he was a disappointment. Inconsistent. Passive

Tonight 23 pts.  6'7 guy, 7'0 wingspan.  Decent Athleticism, quickness for a SF.  Good handles, shooting stroke.  Works hard.

Dekker comparable to Gordon Hayward?

Yeah, I've been interested in him, as well, but I think he grew two inches and is now playing at the 4, which is odd, because he was perfectly fine on both ends as a 3.  I LOVED that spin move and head fake that he finished with his left hand coming down the stretch of tonight's game.  I don't think he'll be quick enough to play in the NBA, though, but maybe not.  He seemed slower than he was last year, for some reason.

More than decent athleticism.

How can you not be after he said that that reporter was beautiful when the mic was still on, lol?  That's a Biden/Kerry gaffe right there. ;D

He's projected to go in the 20's.
