Screw that. It's tremendous entertainment to see DanH trying to keep his near perfect reputation of winning every argument he wades into, despite this being a very different field from salary cap issues or how much Scola sucks as starting PF. Gotta admit, I'm cheering for the upset, but I love how DanH isn't going down without a fight.

He is fluid, but not athletic enough to switch on screens, and he isn't strong like JV, which is a concern to me. His physical tools are fine for an NBA center, although he will need to be stronger. He is in a system that is tailored to him, of course he is going to look good against inferior college competition. He is a fine prospect, but pllllease can we stop bringing him up so often?

Does anybody know what is Cal's explanation (back then) for not playing Skal much during the season.
I was reading what Cal understandingly said about Murray(he previously said he's over all top talent),then I wondered if somebody asked him about Skal ahead of draft,what he thinks of him (why didn't let him play for long stretches of season),I didn't find anything(just wanna hear Cal's version of story).
Anyway this is what he said about Murray(besides meditating before games):
"Let me say this. . .I've been wrong before in what I think. The last time I was wrong, I think it was 1978," Calipari said Tuesday. "I believe that Jamal Murray will be the leading-scoring rookie in the NBA. That's what I believe."

The reality is that Cal is used to top recruits dominating as freshman and he realized he was gonna have a disappointing year and skal became the scapegoat in part bc of his submissive personality. Briscoe did not get any blame and Cal assembled a mismatch lineup to begin with.

the play was for skal to retain some mystique and keep his potential for the lottery or else he is just another long guy who doesn't bang or rebound. we had one of those before and i think got this #9 for him.
