I thought Atsur was quite fundamentally-sound. he made up for lack of quickness and go-to scoring ability by using his head and doing the little things

Brown and Leslie will make the biggest impacts by grabbing rebounds and getting second chance points. That's the are of our game that could use the biggest improvement -- getting high-probability points while simultaneously stopping the other team from getting points

how is Brown defensively? it's hard to tell from highlights except for a block or two

i would assume he's capable based on his athleticism

atsur was the only person capable of running lowe's offense the way he wanted it, and it was spectacular.

i remember the announcers and play by play guys going nuts over lowe's bag of tricks.

people are going to look retarded drooling over our offense next year and nothing will have changed except for having someone capable of running what we have been trying to run since he left

even when atsur was a freshman, i thought he was just as vital to the team as hodge. he was a smart, fundamentally sound player and leader. i'd love another atsur.

Yeah, with Atsur running point, we were pretty unstoppable against man-to-man. Atsur could step back and shoot, so that made it all work even though he couldn't drive too often. If all you can do is pass out of the pick and roll (Javi), then teams will just cheat off of you.

You have to be at least a double threat (which Harrow and Brown will be) and, ideally, a triple threat. Give Harrow or Brown a year in the system and they should add that third dimension.

so i didn't mean that Atsur wasn't good, i loveeeed Atsur. It's just Brown is under control like he was, but is quicker, faster and has more "moves" (plus hops/athleticism). hot dayyum

Can I get recent college comparisons to these guys?

harrow-ish smith?
brown-willie warren?
leslie-???

extreme upside potential: Kevin Garnett

[Edited on May 9, 2010 at 12:06 AM. Reason : not recent college or college at all, but someone you're familiar with]

and to stick with the theme, Harrow's upside is Isaiah with more hops, and Brown's upside is Allen Iverson...fuck maybe D-Wade

I've heard some Isiah thomas comparisons for harrow. especially with his lack of size and range. does that sound accurate?


what will we see next year?

i'm talking young all of them...and the main comparison with harrow is the sick handles and great vision and passing

Isaiah Thomas? one of the best point guards in college and the NBA in the last 30 years?

i'm giving my opinion of who these players remind me of, if they live up to every single inch of hype and then some

hahaha i think the comparisons you've heard are also to Zeke

are you too young to remember the Isaiah Thomas who led Indiana to a championship (one of Knight's 3) and led the Bad Boy Pistons 2 two NBA titles?

FYI, Bob Knight is the shit

If he's good enough to go pro after 2 I'll be happy for him, because it will mean he's been damn good for 2 years, probably better than most people expect him to be.

none of us know about good enough yet, but if he gains 20 lbs he'll only be an inch shorter than dj augustin who was a lottery pic after 2 years

you go to college to learn skills to help aquire a high paying job, i have no problem with him leaving as a consensus first round pick. these are his money making years, college will always be here for him when he's done

Yahoo's front page story for NCAA Men Basketball is on recruiting
http://collegebasketball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1082472

Quote :
"Q. Which school surprised you the most -- good or bad -- with its class this recruiting cycle?

A. North Carolina State is the school that stands out to me. Coach Sidney Lowe is on the hot seat, but he still brought in a top-five class in the country. On top of that, he lands forward C.J. Leslie of Raleigh (N.C.) Word of God Christian Academy, who previously had decommitted from N.C. State. It is always a surprise when a prospect ends up at a school from which he had decommitted.

"Spiders, Pack have momentum on their side
May, 10, 2010

1:31 PM ET

By Andy Katz
While Kentucky coach John Calipari was anticipating for the past month that he might lose his fence-sitters in the draft, he also knew he could still withstand the blow by recruiting at an elite level.

North Carolina State and Richmond are two programs that couldn't afford a setback.

On the surface, there is no reason to believe NC State's Tracy Smith or Richmond's Kevin Anderson would stay in the draft. Neither had much buzz about them, but this is an era where just having someone mention you might be a first-round pick, or even a second-rounder, can entice a player to say goodbye to school.

NC State is a program that should be on the rise. With the return of Smith, the team's leading scorer (16.5) and rebounder (7.3) last season, the Wolfpack may finally turn the corner under Sidney Lowe after four subpar years. The Pack haven't won more than six ACC games under Lowe and won five last season. But NC State won six of its last nine games overall and the recruiting has finally reached a national level.

"We've definitely got momentum," Lowe said. "We finished strong and with quality players coming back and the young talent coming in we're going in the right direction.''

The Wolfpack signed up one of the top perimeters in the fall with guards Ryan Harrow and Lorenzo Brown. Then in late April, they snagged the highly coveted hometown forward C.J. Leslie of Raleigh. If Smith had departed early, the momentum would have been stunted.

"That would have been a tremendous blow to our team,'' Lowe said. "I wasn't worried, but someone got in his ear and told him that it won't hurt to throw your name in. It was all of a sudden. He did tell me that he would come back."

Lowe signed Leslie amid rumors that he was going to be fired (not true) and the athletic director who hired him was going to be out (which turned out to be correct when Lee Fowler resigned last week, effective June 30).

"We got C.J. during a tough time of change," Lowe said. "Lee was good to me. A good man. It was a tough deal."

Now the Wolfpack have the veteran presence in Smith and the high-level talent coming in with Harrow, Brown and Leslie.

"That's what we've been waiting for," Lowe said. "When you look at the top programs that's what they do, year in and year out. This is the group that we've been able to recruit when they were young. We've got guys coming back with some five-star, high-quality players to mix it in."

Programs trying to move upward can't afford to lose talent early to the draft if there isn't a backfill immediately behind them.

Richmond made the NCAAs for the first time under Chris Mooney this past season. The Spiders won nine games in the A-10 in each of the previous two seasons and then last season won 13 and 26 overall before losing to Saint Mary's in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The backcourt of A-10 player of the year Anderson and David Gonzalvez wasn't going to be reunited with Gonzalvez a senior. But had the Spiders also lost Anderson, keeping up with Temple, Xavier and Dayton would have been a chore.

Like Smith, Anderson just wanted to see if he could get a bite. With the short window of opportunity, he did not and returned.

Gonzalvez ate up a lot of minutes last season and Darien Brothers, who played sparingly, Kevin Smith and Greg Robbins -- the latter two more wings than traditional guards -- will share minutes in place of Gonzalvez. Take Anderson out of the equation and there goes Richmond's marquee player, its go-to guy and a veteran presence to ease in these players.

"That would have been difficult to overcome," Mooney said. "We've finished in the top five three straight years in the A-10 and we're on line to finish high again. That would have been a setback. We're building the program to where we want it to be.''"

that's a tough matchup, we probably have more offensive firepower than they do but they are obviously much better defensively...either way it'll help our RPI significantly.
