    I have a strong feeling this is our 2nd round draft guy.

    My interest in college hoops waxes and wanes from year to year. This year I am at a 'wane' level, not paying much attention to much of anything except the odd game, and keeping up with the DX rankings.

    This guy just seems like a smokey to me. Ability to score and dominate lesser competition, good size, good rebounder, in the (very limited) amount I've seen, has a knack for being in the right place at the right time defensively.

    Don't get too excited, the last time I had a gut feel was Jermaine Taylor. Sure, we drafted him, but the whole dominating lesser competition thing didn't translate so well....

    Anyone else got more info on big Pascal?

    Definitely seems like a Morey 2nd rounder or potential late first rounder with a great overall, highly productive season. Rookie year, D-League fodder if we draft him and I say that in a positive way as I really like how Morey uses it.

    Reminds me of Landry from the glimpse we get on draftexpress.

    Siakam is getting crazy good. Elite defense and a nightmare to stop in the transition. If he could just develop an outside shot, it's game over.
