Top 5 CBB Showdown Thread -- UK/MSU and Duke/Kansas

[symple19]

Should be a stellar night of College hoops, imho

:corn:

[The Gemini Method]

Watch the future Lakers Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker in action!

[Lincoln]

Parker>wiggins

Lots of scouts gonna be there tonight. Potentially 16 first round picks playing

[symple19]

Excited to see UK more than anyone else. Can those guys gel?

[The Gemini Method]

Gonna miss Peyton Siva and his behemoth of a dad on the sidelines...I don't pay attention to CBBall until the conference championships, tbh.

[CitizenDwayne]

Excited to see UK more than anyone else. Can those guys gel?

Not yet, it seems.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

The Harrison twins have a long way to go, the lack of any notable talent behind them in the backcourt might be Kentucky's biggest weakness this year.

[symple19]

They need to let em' play. Too many ticky tack fouls

[symple19]

Lol UK. So many stupid turnovers

[JMarkJohns]

Parker>wiggins

Lots of scouts gonna be there tonight. Potentially 16 first round picks playing

Randle>Parker>Wiggins

Right now, anyways.

Never liked Harrison twins.

[symple19]

Randle is a boss

[JMarkJohns]

They need to let em' play. Too many ticky tack fouls

No college ball until players adjust defensively.

I hate it.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

In other news, UCLA's hoarding of portly big men might finally work with Tony Parker.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Oh great, Vitale is announcing this game. I can't wait for him to tell us all about how the top 5-10 recruits from a year ago are his "diaper dandies" to watch this year.

[symple19]

Vitale is ridiculous, but I still love listening to him call games. I know I'm in the minority :lol

[DeadlyDynasty]

Randle was a fucking beast...sometimes I wonder if Calipari has a Candyland plantation where he breeds these beasts

[DeadlyDynasty]

Wiggins is the most invisible player on the court thus far

[symple19]

Wow Parker

[Lincoln]

Parker is so fucking good

[symple19]

Parker is really impressive

Much more fluid game than the UK/MSU tilt

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Randle was a fucking beast...sometimes I wonder if Calipari has a Candyland plantation where he breeds these beasts
He does and World Wide Wes plays the House N***** role :lol

[jeebus]

I wonder who's gonna win the sorry for jabrari sweepstakes. You gotta know those mormons are jacking off to this game right now

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I wish I could've been in that courtroom when rhythmic slapping was brought up.

[JMarkJohns]

Still not sold on Parker as a true Cornerstone player in the League, but he's such a great college player. Bigger stronger Sean Elliott.

[symple19]

:wow

[Lincoln]

Parker shitting on wiggins

[Clipper Nation]

Parker AND Randle have both taken a wet shit on Wiggins tonight, tbh :lol

[symple19]

Parker has a nice all-around game. Only problem I've seen is some questionable shot selection

[Robz4000]

Parker's got a bit of chucker in him, but I think he can tone it down. Not too impressed with Wiggins tho; he seems to have a bit of that Durant beta-ness in him.

[AchillesHeel]

Wiggins has been more efficient and hasn't been chucking like Parker, tbh. I don't see how Parker has "taken a shit" on Wiggins so far. I think Randle could be the best player in the next year's draft, 6'9 and 250 pounds? Already has the perfect NBA body for his size and he has mad skills and great rebounding ability, Wiggins might seem a bit disappointing due to all the hype, but as a player he has a lot of potential.

Anyways, Wiggins hasn't gotten as many touches as Parker but he's been more efficient, can't really hate on his game so far.

[AchillesHeel]

My nigga Wiggins, tbh.

Wiggins picked it up a bit as the game went on, Parker was shitting on him earlier though :lol

[Robz4000]

Wiggins closed out the game, but Parker impressed me with his offense. Wiggins has a bit to learn still.

[AchillesHeel]

It's about how you finish, and Wiggins has taken this game over.

[JMarkJohns]

I think it was 17-6 in favor of Parker at the half.

[JMarkJohns]

It's about how you finish, and Wiggins has taken this game over.

Very true, and it's refreshing to see. That's the dominant question. Not can he, but will he.

Well, he defended the crap out of Parker and has 16 points in the second half.

[Clipper Nation]

:lmao Dook

[AchillesHeel]

Wiggins with 22 and 10 on 9-15 shooting, good 2nd half and won the game down the stretch. Not bad, imo.

[JMarkJohns]

Meanwhile, very quietly and without ceremony, all #4 prospect in 2013, Aaron Gordon of Arizona, has done thus far is average 13.5 PPG, 10 RPG, 2 APG, 2 SPG, 2.5 BPG with two double doubles in two games thus far.

If he was featured like Randle, he would easily put up 18-22 per night.

But he's sharing frontcourt time with a PF that's averaging 15-7 and a C who's averaging 10-6.

[symple19]

Kansas has a good team and deserved to win

Still, I was more impressed with Parker than Wiggins. Shot selection was an issue, but I like Jabari more on the defensive end. He really gets those long arms into the passing lanes. Think he had 3 steals and a block along with his pts/rebs

Ellis was the best player for Kansas imho, but Wiggins sat a lot in the first with foul trouble which hurt his numbers (and probably helped Parker's)

Kansas (and, to a lesser extent, Duke) looked much more polished than UK or MSU did. I think that's because the latter two teams are so solid defensively, tbh

Best player of the night, overall, was Randle. Only way he's not going to go 20/12 every time is if he doesn't play or has one of those rare awful shooting games. It won't be because of anybody's defense, that's for sure :lol

Can't wait to see these players/teams in a couple months when they've ironed their game out. Could be an epic year for CBB

[JMarkJohns]

Neither team has a PG or C worth a damn. That'll be an issue at some point.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

We were supposed to get Randle :bang

[JMarkJohns]

No you weren't.

I work with Scout.com, and moderate boards with both Scout and Rivals, and Randle was almost a lock to UK for over a year before his early commit.

Top recruits from Texas don't go to NCState. You weren't even in his top-5.

[JMarkJohns]

Aaron Gordon, Arizona Wildcats
MVP, McDonald's All-American Game
MVP, FIBA Under-19 Mens' Tournament

15 PPG, 10 RPG, 1.5 APG, 1.5 SPG, 2.5 BPG

He belongs.

[Vito Corleone]

Parker reminds me of Glenn Big Dog Robinson. Very similar game.

Thank heavens this will be the last year for Barnes, maybe we can get a real coach.
