george nice move on the block
Nice pass again to Greg Smith, the big man from Paul George. Monster slam there. And 1.
george nice move on the block
ROFL Madagascar is BACK! I don't know what George is doing, he needs to be the one shooting those free throws.
good game thanks for the heads up on this guy chief
I'm gonna try to post some impressions in the draft prospect thread.
I told Spurs to draft teodosic last year and they ignored and drafted De Colo instead. HUGE mistake. De Colo is good but Milos is incredible. VERY STUPID by Spurs.
I think Milos can be even better than prime Manu.
Now Spurs need to listen to me now this time. Draft Pappas if you need replacement for Manu for the future.
Final score: Fresno State-66, Louisiana Tech-59
Paul George played a good ball game, sparking his team from 8 points down early in the 2nd half, scoring 7 points straight and passed very well, assisting his big men. His handles need work. He is an unselfish player and knows where he must be defensively. Has a tendency to take too many threes.
This thread is slowly becoming the official 2010 draft speculation thread.
What did georges stats look like?
Can anyone find the box score for this game? Cause I couldn't find one, not even in yahoo.
Truly bad shooting outing by George there. Good to see him have 7 boards, 5 assists and 3 steals. Good all-around game overall.
I have liked Vazquez's game for awhile now. However, I don't think he will be a great NBA player. He might crack the rotation on a team, but he won't be like Manu. Who knows? I could be wrong. He reminds me a little of Manu because of his passion and his once in awhile craftiness, but he doesn't have the athleticism Manu has. Again, I could be wrong.
He played great against Duke though and he still has a chance to help his draft status.
this paul george sounds boss the thing i wanna know is if we have a chance to actually get him i dont wanna be stuck at the 7th playoff spot and trully think we have a cjance to make it all the way to atleast 4th or 3rd if that happenes he might be out of our reach good find though chief
At the start of the season, he was projected to be an early 2nd rounder. Now, he is about 23-26 on most people's list. Some NBA scouts were reported to think he is going to picked at 15-20.

thats why i asked remember omar casspi everyone said we were going in the second he slipt to 20 i believe the same with taj gibson but im happy with blair anyway
Maryland finished strong by winning their last 7 games (all conference) to capture a co-championship with Duke. This was a team that was picked to finish 6th in preseason poll.
No small reason for their final push in last 7 games was the stellar play of my man Greivis Vasquez.
Last 7 games stats:
25 pts/game, 7 assists, and 4.5 rebs.
Ok, now I know that playing great college ball does not nec translate to great NBA play, but you have to be great in college at least to have a chance at next level, so perhaps he has a chance to succeed, yes?
Anyway we could just send this thread to the think tank? please...
No, we do not want a first teamer on the Spurs.

The regular season is coming to a close, and March Madness is in full swing, baby! It is time to reveal my crème de la crème, the best of the best for this college hoops season. I have picked my super seven, the first- and second-team All-Solid Gold performers for this campaign. My friends, I wish I could be the coach of these guys! Let's start with the first team:
ALL-SOLID GOLD FIRST TEAM
John Wall Kentucky
Jon Scheyer Duke
Greivis Vasquez Maryland
Scottie Reynolds Villanova
DeMarcus Cousins Kentucky
Evan Turner Ohio State
Wes Johnson Syracuse
These guys have been super, scintillating, sensational! This group can do it all. John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins have been outstanding diaper dandies for John Calipari in Kentucky. Jon Scheyer and Greivis Vasquez have been the premier PTPers in the ACC. Evan Turner has been really impressive, returning from a back injury earlier in the season. Scottie Reynolds is the engine that drives the bus for Jay Wright's Wildcats. Wesley Johnson was the best All-Marco Polo, a real difference-maker for Jim Boeheim's Orange squad.
Now on to the second team:
ALL-SOLID GOLD SECOND TEAM
Greg Monroe Georgetown
Luke Harangody Notre Dame
James Anderson Oklahoma State
Jimmer Fredette BYU
Damion James Texas
Cole Aldrich Kansas
Sherron Collins Kansas
James Anderson has been Mr. Versatility for the Cowboys. Luke Harangody was having a super season until he was injured. Jimmer Fredette is an unsung player who deserves more publicity. Cole Aldrich and Sherron Collins have keyed Bill Self's national championship contender as a talented inside-outside duo. Damion James has been a force as a scorer and rebounder. Greg Monroe needs to stay aggressive and look for his shots, but he is extremely talented. Last but not least, it is time to announce my player of the year and coach of the year:
VITALE'S PLAYER OF THE YEAR
You can make a case for several players, but my choice is John Wall of Kentucky. He has made his teammates much better as a leader of the tough Wildcats. I love the fact he wants the ball in crunch time, and Wall has made so many big plays this season. He is also my Diaper Dandy of the Year!
VITALE'S COACH OF THE YEAR
My pick for coach of the year is Jim Boeheim. There are a number of solid candidates: Frank Martin of Kansas State, Steve Alford of New Mexico, Gary Williams of Maryland and John Calipari of Kentucky.
Yet Syracuse went from being picked sixth in the preseason Big East poll to most likely locking up a No. 1 seed in the Big Dance. Boeheim has done an incredible job after losing a lot of talent. Jonny Flynn, Eric Devendorf and Paul Harris are gone, but Boeheim put together a team that is capable of cutting down the nets in Indianapolis.
So there you have it, my All-Solid Gold teams and my award winners for 2010.

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Greivis Vasquez earned the 2010 Player of the Year and Gary Williams was voted the 2010 Coach of the Year as the Atlantic Coast Conference announced its top individual awards on Tuesday.
The voting was done by members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association.
Vasquez, a senior from Caracas, Venezeula, is the fifth University of Maryland player to earn ACC Player of the Year honors and the first since Juan Dixon earned the award in 2002. Len Bias won twice (1985, 1986), Albert King won in 1980 and Joe Smith won the award in 1995.
Vasquez was also honored by the Sporting News on Tuesday as the publication named Vasquez one of its five first team All-Americans. He was joined on that team by James Anderson of Oklahoma State, Scottie Reynolds of Villanova, Evan Turner of Ohio State and John Wall of Kentucky. He is the first Terrapin All-American since Lonny Baxter and Juan Dixon earned the honor in 2002.
Vasquez is the only player in the nation currently averaging more than 19 points and six assists per game. He ranks fourth in NCAA Division I in assists per game with 6.3. Vasquez is one of six finalists for the Bob Cousy Award, given to the best collegiate point guard in the nation.
Vasquez earned 39 votes in the balloting by ACSMA, with Duke’s Jon Scheyer getting 12 votes and Malcolm Delaney of Virginia Tech getting two.
Williams won the ACC Coach of the Year honor for the second time, having also earned the award in the 2002 national championship season. In his 21st season as head coach at Maryland, Williams is currently fifth among active NCAA Division I coaches with 648 victories overall. The Terrapins tied for first place in the regular-season standings with a 13-3 record despite being picked fifth in preseason balloting at ACC Operation Basketball.
Williams got 42 votes in the Coach of the Year balloting, with Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski getting eight, Virginia Tech’s Seth Greenberg getting two and Florida State’s Leonard Hamilton getting one.
Vasquez and Williams were also honored on Tuesday by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association as the District 3 Player and Coach of the Year. The district covers the states of Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
ACSMA also announced that Derrick Favors of Georgia Tech was the ACC Rookie of the Year. Maryland’s Jordan Williams finished second in the balloting.

you realized that this isn't any kind of "official" award and that this is just the personal list of one of the 2 million ESPN experts?No, we do not want a first teamer on the Spurs.
however, what you thought to get as an evidence for the NBA potential of an college player might not exactly be a good sign for a players NBA career. ask Adam Morrison, Shelden Williams and Dee Brown.
i don't know man to be honest i think he could be the next romel beck if it makes you happy but i would sign him to the torros if you want
Vasquez has so much swag and confidence. He is a natural winner.
Look like Paul George will be coming out after all.
http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_ar..._draft_waters/
Fresno State's Paul George will test the NBA Draft waters, according to his Twitter page.
"Testing the waters, but I'm (leaning) towards (leaving) to the draft," wrote George.
Vazquez Choking tonight so far...
