Players Talk this

Are they going to instantly have a huge impact? What is the difference between the #4 player and the #30 player. I thought they were talking about that on the NBA draft this year how many of those guys weren't top recruits, Otto Porter might not have even been top 150 or something when he came out. Lots of these guys have been playing AAU together forever but they aren't necessarily always the best and people do develop with coaching and age.

Hold on there, buddy.

Jones is good, Okafor legit, neither would have ranked in the top 10 this year.

Depends on the players specifically.

Personally, I'd rather have Cliff Alexander than Okafor. I'd rather have Mudiay over Jones.

Basically, every class has about 5 guys, 10 max, that are just a tier above the rest.

There is almost zero difference between a guy ranked number 20 and a guy ranked number 70.

People are totally forgetting the possibility (I would say PROBABILITY) that Jabari will play at least one more year.

He will be top 3 if not number 1 this year, and he will absolutely be top 3 next year.

Jabari is a dude who almost went on his Mormon Mission before going to college, but chose to go to college first.

Jabari isn't one of these "get rich quick NBA brothas" like Wiggins and Jabari still got respect for the college game.

Duke wins a national title sometime in the next two years and Jabari will be there.

but even in the last draft, I think they were talking about out of the first 5 or so picks these guys were NOT top rated players coming into college.

Parker was no where close to going to BYU or a mission. He would have had to argue and fight to get the church to sanction him going on a mission. Just like Steve Young, his mission is to go on and be successful in the public. Jabari wont take a mission until after his career is well over.

He's top 5 and not looking back.

Randle
Wiggins
Parker
Aaron Gordon

and 1 of Exum or Smart is your top 5 for 2014.

The last draft was an anomaly due to the total amount of shit the 2012 recruiting class was. It's an exception.

Duke officially signed Justise Winslow. They now have the #1 class coming in for next year.

If Jabari stays, a championship is almost guaranteed.

Duke entered national signing day last week with one solid commitment and high hopes for others.

Eight days later, the Blue Devils have emerged with the top recruiting class in the nation.
Justise Winslow chose Duke on Thursday, the fourth 5-star recruit to sign with the Blue Devils.
