He's projected 13 or 14 in almost every mock draft I've seen lately.
I'm gonna tell you right now - his stock has risen so much this year. Most people called him a "late first rounder/2nd rounder" at best (aka Manu territory - in the 40s) and now he might even have lottery potential depending on how everything goes. Just goes to show you what can happen to guys with questionable fundamentals but an incredible heart and work ethic
He's projected 13 or 14 in almost every mock draft I've seen lately.
I'd be surprised TAMU doesn't got to the Final Eight at least. They're too well coached and smart. Their achilles heel is foul trouble. But Law IV is precisely the kind of guy who can lead a team deep into the tournament. And I don't doubt he'll be clutch there, too. The guy's late-game shooting % and points scored is ridiculous and I had no doubt he was going to nail that end-of-regulation shot last night (I called it in the bar).
Add to the list of heroics -- against Texas Tech. They did lose, but Law tied it with a three just before Tech went coast to coast.
All but one loss has been by 3 points or less... this means they will have a chance in any tournament game no matter what mid-major or "big time school" (I use that term loosely since the Big East and ACC bias is out of control) gets in their way.
Law isn't a lock for the top half of the first round just yet. Teams are going to take a close look at his results in the speed and agility drills. He's not the greatest of playmakers and he isn't a great athlete, so he's still going to have to test well to become a lottery pick. At this time last year, Marcus Williams was considered a top five pick.
Randolph Childress was a clutch mufua too . . .
How high he'll get taken in the draft won't necessarily equate to his eventual value to a team. He's fortunate to be in a draft class that is already weak on PG, and will be even weaker if Froshes like Conley, Augustin, and Crittendon decide not to come out.
He could go in the lottery, but it won't be because he's a potential superstar, or even quality starter in this league.
Dude is clutch, and has icewater in his veins. That ridiculous rainbow that damn near hit the rafters in the Irwin center was PHENOMENAL!!! With that said, I can't see why posters are lobbying to draft him in the first round. We have a starting point guard, who last time I checked made it to the All Star game. The first round pick needs to go to a SF preferably a long athletic one.
Dude is the only reason the Aggies are getting a sniff of the NCAA tourney and he is not a great playmaker?
Acie Law is clutch as , that game last night was rediculous.
When I look at some mock draft (like nbadraft.net), I don't find that there is someone available at Spurs pick who can really help them (I just look at their profile/scouting report/stats because I don't know them).
Maybe the best thing will be to trade the pick to get some vets who can help Spurs as soon as next year.
Law will go to Detroit.
nbadraft.net has Law going #14 at the moment. my guess is he goes in the top 17 for sure, but who knows where. but, i have no idea what kind of player he will be in the NBA...this sport is probably the hardest to guesstimate how players will adjust. though, its great for Aggie Basketball and recruiting if he goes high...
He reminds me of Damon Stoudamire.
I've resigned myself to the fact I'll have two teams to root for next year - the Spurs and whoever drafts Acie.
Acie Law reminds me of Vince Young. Both athletes lacked fundamental knowledge, but were incredibly clutch. If the Spurs are to trade for Law, it will have to wait until after he is drafted. I believe the Spurs might wait to see who drafts him, then maybe try to work out a draft-nite deal, considering that Law would be their best option. If Law is able to carry the Aggies to the Final 4, then it may be impossible to get our mits on him. I like Kavalskus, possibily as a 2nd round pick. I think he would be a good pickup, especially if we end up cutting ties with Jackie Butler.
A couple of bracketology site pod projections for the NCAA tournament have TAMU and Florida both going to NOLA.
maybe you can set me straight...
how the does acie lack fundamental knowledge? he seems pretty fundamentally sound to me. he might lack some athleticism...
Aggie Kingsfan???
I don't look at mock drafts this early because most of them pre-suppose that certain players will declare and that others will stay in school/overseas for another year or two. What these assumptions are based off of, I have no idea.
For right now, I look at a player's standing in Chad Ford's Top 100 on ESPN and balance that bio against more updated bios on several different sites (DX, draftnet, etc.). I look at players in the 35-45 range to see who might be available based on 10 or so players in the top 30 not declaring. Guys like Rudy Fernandez, Nick Fazekas, and Alando Tucker might be available....
Uh, Marcus Williams is actually getting decent minutes with the Nets and he's put up 2 great games against the Suns this year (probably because he's pissed they didn't draft him when they had the chance after Isaiah passed and took Balkman). Against the Suns, he was running and gunning and making great passes, which makes me even more pissed that they didn't get him because he seems to fit in a wide open offense.
Let's see...
Price 2x 1st Team All B12
Law 0x (ok so we know he will get 1)
Price 3x B12 Tourney Team
Law 1x
Price 2x B12 Tourney Most Oustanding Player
Law 0x
Price 1x B12 Player of the Year
Law 0x
Price 1821 points (4th all time B12)
Law 1580 with no more than 10 games left
Price 2nd Team AA
Law 0
Price First Team All-America honors from the USBWA and The Sporting News

You right, the assumption that Price was better than Law is ridiculous. Plus your hateful nature makes you look so manly. Have you even noticed I'm taking up for a player from the team that I hate the most? Grow up and open your eyes 'fity'.
Well, Hollis Price was also on a better overall team that made the tournament every year and has been to the Final 4... this is the first near-complete team the Ags have had since 1982...
Marcus Williams (AZ).
Yay, more useless stats from CaptMike.
Price First Team All-America honors from the USBWA and The Sporting News
Law 0So you don't think Law will get those honors this year?
Nice of you to wait until the season is over. name a PG playing better right now. Lots of folks have him as the FIRST team AA PG.Price 2nd Team AA
Law 0
You can have your Oklahoma State RPI and Hollis Price's 300 extra points. I'll take Acie any ing day of the week, and I suspect so will any NBA GM.
But I know, you're smarter than all of us
