2015 Nba Draft Discussion: Russell, Nance Jr., Brown

If we somehow got the #1 pick I wouldn't envy Mitch having to make that choice. Towns shows such potential, but Okafor is so damn big and looks ready now. Then you have the unknown, possible big payoff in Mudiay.

I'll be happy to have a top 5 pick at all, but if I can dream I'm kinda wanting Okafor right now. He has games where he doesn't put his stamp on them, but he so big, the hands, the length, you can't teach that. I mean he's a stiff, he's about as mobile right now as current Tim Duncan, but he doesn't really need to be quicker because again, he's so freakin big lol. When he does get motivated he can have big games, and man him next to Randle and Clarkson, please let those ping pong balls be kind to us.

 

Can't help myself, I'm rooting for Frank the Tank and the Badgers. I can't stand Calipari.

 

Okafur straight up palms the ball like a grapefruit. Enormous mitts. Such a monster offensive player. I don't think there's any way he'll go later than number one, but you never know . . .

 

Wisconsin taking it right to Kentucky right now.

 

Towns reminds me a lot of Bynum in many ways, but with less potential.

 

MAN! That Kentucky-Wisconsin game was so frustrating to watch down the stretch. WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD THEY NOT GET THE BALL TO TOWNS again and again. He had to keep getting the offensive rebounds just so he could get a shot. I was watching Coach Cal the whole time and he was yelling at the Harrison to get it down low to.

O and dont even get me started about the Refs and how bad they were all game. The slap not being called and the most terrible call was the clear shot clock violation that wasn't called. College refs this game .....disgusting

 

Experience won out, I really like this Wisconsin team, don't like coach Cal either. Some terrible calls all around though, I agree. Muggings ignored, and little to no contact and ticky-tack crap called, college refs suck. Michigan St. wasn't going to win earlier either, but the refs took away their momentum in a mini comeback late in the 2nd half with some phantom fouls as well.

 

Thank you. I too am mainly watching for scouting purposes but really wanted Kentucky to win it all. I'm a fan of Coach Cal and think he gets a lot of unnecessary crap thrown his way by other fans. I really dislike some of the Wisconsin players (i.e. Kaminsky) I've seen him flop on a number of plays this Tourney and ever sense then I have not liked him. I think he gets away with a lot of ticky tack foul being called in his favor.

 

Sorry, but I'm completely in the opposite camp. I can't stand Calipari. I was rooting for Wisconsin all the way. To me, the pre-game talk about the coaches said it all. Wisconsin's coach made the Badgers team watch tons of film and they were thoroughly prepped. It showed. They were composed. They then mentioned that Calipari said he didn't make his team watch ANY film on Wisconsin, he just wanted his team to focus on themselves. As John Wooden said, failing to prepare is preparing for failure. The most important game of his season and took the opponent too lightly. I think he's a weak coach, albeit a brilliant recruiter. Never liked the guy, great to see him lose. 38-1. I do however, feel bad for the kids. I just don't think they were well coached this game.

 

I'm still going with Stan, but I think it depends on what you prefer. Johnson it's less dynamic with more solid defense. Winslow is more capable of scoring with a little more bust potential.

I ain't mad at either pick.

 

I've been a big fan of Stan, but Winslow is really showing so much clutch play and heart in the tourney. Tough call. Like 'em both.

 

Can't go wrong really. Winslow might be more talented, but I think Johnson is a little more cerebral.

Either one is a good pick and has a great shot to be an NBAer. Depending on the workouts I'd take either one of them at 5.
