2011 Draft Rumors & Discussion

That is one of the misconsesptions about him though. He doesn't just score, he's a leader and had underrated passing ability. If his team wasn't so shit he'd probably be averaging 6+ assists (he's averaging 4.5 (or something) on a [very] weak team).

I am pretty sure his value will go up after march madness (right now he's at #10 on NBADraft.net).

Assuming they make the tournament without Davies.

Not to mention Fredette could also get caught for sleeping with his Girlfriend. Have you seen his Girlfriend?!

I have no misconceptions. I realize who he is, I'm just telling you he gets over hyped because he's leading the NCAA in scoring. I don't think he's as good a PG as Kirk Hinrich and Hinrich went 7th in his class.

They played out their schedule and they are ranked 8th overall. They are in.

There is no way Fredette is going get kicked out if he gets caused. I'm pretty sure he can release a sex tape and that still wont happen. They aren't crazy.

And ya.. I'd get kicked out in a SECOND if I had a chance to nail this girl. hahah

ADD My girlfriend certainly won't appreciate that... ugh. hahah

I'd be really shocked if Tristian comes out this year, him Joseph and Kabongo all wanted to play together at Texas

This^ Texas will also have a better chance at winning the tournament next year.

How Texas Keeps Recruiting Canada's Top Players

Texas has added another Canadian native in Kevin Thomas of Brampton, Ontario. Rick Barnes has now added four prospects from the same Grassroots Canada travel team over the past two years.

Thomas joins Myck Kabongo in Barnes' 2011 class and this could lead to a Canadian reunion with Tristan Thompson and Cory Joseph. That foursome won the 2008 adidas Super 64 championship in 2008.

"It's been 10 years in the making," Grassroots Canada coach Ro Russell said. "[Barnes and the Longhorns] originally tried to recruit Denham Brown [in 2003; he ended up at Connecticut]. They recruited and got an initial commitment from Theo Davis [in 2004], but that didn't work out. Over the years, whenever they didn't get somebody, they maintained a good relationship and stayed positive. They kept plugging away, trying to recruit our guys."

"I had been recruiting Canadian kids when I was with Jerry Wainwright [at UNC-Wilmington]," assistant Rodney Terry said. "We had a couple Canadian kids at Wilmington, and it was kind of an untapped area for a while. When I got here, we recruited Theo Davis."

The players have recruited one another to Texas as much as the coaches.

"It's not that Texas gets our guys. They wanted them and they went hard to get them. When they got one guy, the other guys went hard and tried to work on each other," Russell said. "Once a guy commits, he works to get some of his friends from his AAU team to go. That's how they've been successful over the years with our guys."

"We didn't think we were getting Cory Joseph until he called and told us he was coming," Terry said. "There was a week there when nobody had contact with Cory. Nobody. When we got him, I was floored."

"We're setting this trend," Kabongo said. "Kids' dream school [back in Canada] will be Texas because of the success of Tristan and Cory."

Nice find. I've always loved Texas for this exact reason. I remember reading back in 2005 or 2006, how they always had scouts at The Grassroots games, and occasionally would send scouts out to HS games around Toronto.
They do their homework, and have been rewarded with the best team in Basketball.

Kemba Walker best PG in College hands down!

I don't agree but whatever.

did you see that game winner? incredible.

a pg that can create his own shot...

[ceez]

ive said it once, and i'll say it again. if BC takes a guy like barnes with our pick and buys a mid round pick and takes walker i would really not be disappointed.

[ceez]

overjoyed, in fact.

Walker is projected to be top 10 pick, he wont fall to mid round.

Fredette and Knight can create their own shots too..

Knight seems more like a SG to me though.

I have no misconceptions. I realize who he is, I'm just telling you he gets over hyped because he's leading the NCAA in scoring. I don't think he's as good a PG as Kirk Hinrich and Hinrich went 7th in his class.

Hinrich wasn't as good of an overall scorer as Jimmer. He can't attack the basket like him.

I guess everyone has their right to their own opinion. I can't wait for the March Madness should be really fun.
