This is the first time Kentucky was tested and they stayed with Stein and he was dominant. Also Dakari Johnson is like a big Kurt Thomas. Nothing special but a ground and pound guy who will have many many 20-10 games in the NBA.

How did Stein score. Strictly around the basket like Tyson or with an array of offensive moves?

I don't follow college ball much so that is why I am asking.

Karl towns is kind of like a smaller version of bynum. While highly skilled you can see in some ways he's behind stein and johnson because of body although he might end up being the best of all 3.if u don't get pick 1 you are going to have to work I've come to believe early in the year that tier 1 stops at 1 with ok4 and then you have serious due dilligence on your hand. Willie stein has high upside he's strong athletic and he plays two wyas he might be the best defensive player to come into the nba in years. I'm almost ready to say stein might go higher than towns for some clubs. This will be a season long process that's the truth

haha, why did you quote me if you weren't gonna answer my 2 questions.

It's all good though. You eat & sleep this stuff.
I enjoy thoughts on basketball, you are deep into all of it.

I like to youtube these guys & see what they are doing after you mention them.

Sorry--I think this clip will show a lot of his potential. You cannot teach what he has--the fact that he is so long and athletic. You can see some of his offensive moves on this clip around the 1:10 mark but watch the whole thing. Hes going to be the number 1 defensive player coming into the draft maybe the best rebounder as well. Unlike Chandler who was quite rudimentary for years Stein has offensive upside as you will see. Now its up to the team to extrapolate his offensive upside. If asking me--I dont see him as a great passer or having much of a jumpshot passed 8 feet---his footwork isnt close to ok4 or Kaminsky yet he seems to be able to handle the rock in the open court very well/ he's physically so long that he will be able to score easily with a good PG and make up for a lot of teams mistakes on the other end. He might be a Dennis Rodman on steroids who can also score.

Seems like this is shaking up to be a great year to tank. From what I've seen so far this draft is way better than last year which was suppose to be the best since the Lebron draft. I don't know why

That was impressive.
