I am torn between Flynn and Evans

Was hearing some not so good things about Evans workouts today, that he's not as athletic as most teams would like

Think Maynor will be the most ready, as of now. 5-10 years from now, lean to Flynn if he can improve his shooting

Evans isnt going to play PG in the NBA I dont think, I vote Rubio

Hes a pure PG and plays the one position where his bulk size wont matter any

the NBA protects PGs like the NFL protects QBs

Maynor gets no love

watch the way he controlled the offense vs UCLA, he's the most NBA ready

p.s. biased because of how much VCU won me this year

except for the fact that bigger and stronger point guards who can score will kill him in the post

well those 2 do it consistently, but others will look to do so when they are facing a weaker or smaller guy trying to defend them, that's all i meant.

a guy like deron williams might not look to post someone up all the time, but there are cases where he'd be silly not to.

i'm not saying he NEEDS to be bulkier, but will definitely need to get stronger

what ucla game did u watch this year

i saw ucla dominate for 38 minutes, then the refs swallowed the whistles and let vcu get away with arms to the face and 4 steps after the dribble

for the most part maynor wasn't very effective, i remember him hitting a bunch of FTs in the last few minutes on qable calls
