2013 NBA Draft

[Doc Shakalou]

Can someone talk me into Len? I know he's been getting a ton of hype but I'm afraid he's going to end up soft in the NBA. I have the same concerns with Zeller. My favorite big man is probably Noel.

[Goldin Brown]

So, McAdoo, poor man's Shawn Marion? At best? I haven't seen a ton of him, but he doesn't impress me.

[Rob]

Really hoping we can land Shabazz or Noel

He's having a really solid season so far, very consistent since being the starter

Signifcant improvement from his freshman year to this year

[Goldin Brown]

Indiana is running UNC out of the gym right now. Just the 1st half but Zeller is doing a little bit of everything, kid plays with intensity, passion and just has a real nice all around game. I've questioned his game in the past but he looks legit to me tonight.

I love Zeller. Probably not going to come out til 2015, though.

McAdoo doesn't look too sick, he has a nice turnaround but I don't see him having the skillset to play on the perimeter. No way I say.

Playing on espn2 right now. You gonna se it he alreadyhas a couple jump shot from 18ft and a great post move. This guy is for real

[Tecumseh]

I think McAdoo would benefit from a more open NBA style game. However, he just doesn't seem to have a position. He is a combo forward and in many ways that is a curse.

Len has a VERY nice post game and great footwork in the paint, he can also hit jumpers from a foot inside the 3 point line. He is a huge offensive threat, and I think he can be solid on defense too if he bulks up a bit. He is a perfect compliment to TT.

Unrelated: I have been down on Zeller as of late, but he is beasting it against UNC right now, and surprisingly has some nice blocks despite his supposed T-Rex arms.

EDIT: I don't think Zeller will be a good Pro though, great college player, but not worthy of a top 10 pick in my eyes.

[Goldin Brown]

Len just had a really good stretch to start the 2nd half for Maryland, this is against Northwestern but he's just beasting.

Edit: Reminds me a bit of Big Z. Am I crazy?

["Boobie" Gibson]

Remind me again, who does UNC have at the 5?

About 3 weeks ago Len and Noel played each other

Len played 32 minutes to Noel's 26

Len had 23 (10/18fg 55% 3/4 ft) points to Noel's 4 (2/6 fg 33% 0/3ft)

Len had 12 rebounds to Noel's 9

Len had 4 blocks to Noel's 3

Neither had an assist

Noel had 2 steals to Len's 0

Both had 3 fouls

Both had 0 to's

Also found it interesting that Len has yet to have a game where he shot less than 53%

[MGMT]

On a sidenite, IU is sick as hell.

Crean turned us around big time. Feels awesome to have been a senior during the resurgence last year.

Cody still hasn't gotten a big post challenge - most interested to see him against MSU.

Whenever McAdoo plays, I find myself wanting a bit more from every aspect of his game. He has good (not great) touch, very good (not freak level) athleticism, an above average (not great) jumper... I wonder if that's just because he's a still-developing sophomore, or because he just doesn't have it in him to be an elite-level NBA player. Their games aren't similar at all, but that was the feeling I got watching Thomas Robinson last year (except for his rebounding).
