What would your guess be at the starting line-up/ depth chart?
there is going to be a WAR at the 2 spot. I think Archie will ultimately start though I'd expect.

Andrew Harrison/Dominique Hawkins
Archie Goodwin/Aaron Harrison/James Young
Andrew Wiggins/James Young/Poythress
Randle/Poythress/Lee/Wiltjer
Cauley-stein/Johnson/Lee

Yall the only ones who can take out Louisville so don't let me down breh :ufdup: or I'm gonna hear it NONSTOP until next year rolls around and we crush the buildings.

I'm almost most-excited about James Young. He has such a smooth game and is an insane rebounder for a guard/SF

Just learned Archie is putting his name in the draft. Can't say I'm surprised, we kinda have a log jam at the 2/SF. Willie is returning though. No word on poythress. Archie earned his right to go. Him, Nerlens and Willie played harder than anybody.

Archie has more upside then anyone in terms of athletic ability speed,ability to get t othe rim but hes gotta be the dumbest player ive ever seen

And his shot selection makes Antoine Walker blush

Didn't Archie say he wasn't ready to play in the nba? Reality must've hit him that he wasn't gonna get any run next year.

:stopitslime: archie would start if he stayed another year.

his draft stock will be higher this year than next year in a deeper draft.


Here is the Kentucky All American Game practice report

Ricky O'Donnell ‏@SBN_Ricky 6m
Randle is by far the most physically mature player here. He's also almost killed me three different times, this baseline seat is dangerous.

Jason Jordan ‏@JayJayUSATODAY 17m
Julius Randle rebound. Leads the break and throws the look-away to Dakari Johnson for the dunk. #skillsfordays [URL=http://www.the-coli.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=McDAAG]#McDAAG [/URL]

Ricky O'Donnell ‏@SBN_Ricky 27m
Wiggins' athleticism is so obvious but I'm also impressed with his demeanor. He's been all business and hasn't made any bad basketball plays

Jerry Meyer ‏@jerrymeyer247 27m
Andrew Harrison w exceptional block n transition. [URL=http://www.the-coli.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=McDAAG]#McDAAG [/URL]

Ben Roberts ‏@NextCats 29m
Dakari Johnson with a nasty one-handed jam in transition. That one drew some smiles from Wiggins and Randle.


Jonathan Givony ‏@DraftExpress 38m
People asking who won the matchup between Wiggins and Randle? I will defer to Bill Walton and go with "the universe"


Jonathan Givony ‏@DraftExpress 46m
Why McDonald's practices are great: Julius Randle and Andrew Wiggins matching up w/each other in three on three setting. Fun little battle.

Steve Jones ‏@SteveJones_CJ 40m
Marcus Lee has had a couple easy but soaring finishes after teammate draw defense or on putback

Steve Jones ‏@SteveJones_CJ 34m
Dakari Johnson just stole the ball, went behind the back, did a stutter step at a defender and slammed. Very impressive

Steve Jones ‏@SteveJones_CJ 1h
At McDonald's practice in Chicago. East team working on transition drills. Randle has set up Wiggins about 3 times for dunks or 3's

Archie's stock ain't that high now.
draftexpress has him at 18..he hasn't hired an agent yet either. You think he could get drafted higher in a deeper draft next year? I don't see it. I'm afraid Poythress might be in the same position but Goodwin has a non-stop motor, he's just raw. Poythress' motor is pathetic right now.

Poythress isn't even a first rounder to me. I have Goodwin to the Clippers around 25 (haven't updated the order just yet)

they're just being drafted on potential.. Poythress is ahead of goodwin in the draftexpress mock. but I think a GM gotta be stupid to pick a SF/PF tweener who has NO (and I mean absolutely NO) ball handling abilities (or passing for that matter). His shot is okay but he's very passive. Takes plays off and doesn't defend to his full ability. Most impressive thing I've seen from Poythress is his rebounding.. He has the physical tools to be an absolute MONSTER, just go look at his game when he played Duke.

Him and McAdoo get downgraded from me for the same reason. What is it that makes them so appealing at the next level that I have to go draft them? I'm not seeing it out of either of them. They'll get swallowed up in the pros quickly.

Poythress is a GAWD compared to Wackadoo. You can at least see the potential of Poythress in that Duke game. Poythress just needs to develop a motor and aggressive mentality, he is insanely strong. I was never once impressed with McAdoo.. I never ever understood how he was a top rated player.
