only been 1 to 2 games so far.
alot of prospects on ESPN right now too.. including kentucky's insane freshman class (julius randle most notable) and gary harris of michigan state.
Wow Julius Randle--wow. Now what are the Knicks thinking about giving up unrestricted picks? My bet is by next year Julius Randle>Carmelo.
I bet this guy ends up going pick #1. This is karl malone reborn

randle has a lot of touch around the hoop, was very impressed with that by him. he also right now only has one move. get the ball in the post and spin towards the middle. i worry about these big guys going and playing with calipari because im not sure he sets them up for the nba very well. the raw talent is there with randle, i just hope he gets the proper coaching.

The Melo comparisons are right on with Parker. Parker looks taller than Melo, tho.

He reminds me of Rodney Rogers, without the weight issues.

You think so? Kid looks amazing but this is College ball. What worries me is that frame of his. He is already at 250!
Jabari Parker is the one thats impressing me the most so far.

Randle is a lean 250+ he is powerful yet highly skilled and athletic. I like that he is left-handed as well--hes going to be a beast on the low block with his combo of power agility and skill.
you guys are just depressing yourselves... when they are 30 years old, have knee issues and make $25mm a year the Knicks will take a long look at these guys. Now? They are just draft fodder.

NOT From what I have seen so far, but again, that is one game.. Just kind of puts in perspective how good lebron really was at that age.. truly a special talent.. comparing wiggins to lebron as some do or calling him the next lebron is unfair to wiggins... he has talent and size tho..

Its like reading a car magazine that shows "Future cars".......LIke the new Ferrari or Lambo. Cars we can't afford because we sold our stock in Apple years ago to buy a new stereo to satisfy the instant gradification. Now all the neighbors who held on to their stock are Multimillionairs and can afford the cars with no problem, while we have the old stereo to drown out the noise!
Enjoy MElo while he is here and in his prime. Its why we mortgaged the future. Im not saying its always going to be doom and gloom but its not 1985 and Patrick Ewiings name is not being pulled out of the envelope!
God bless Dave Debuschure for his play and the luck he bought that year.
