My top 5....
1. Adam Morrison - Kid can flat out play, inside and outside.
2. JJ Reddick - Yeah, I hate Duke, but hes good
3. Paul Davis - Nice inside touch
4. Hassan Adams - Averages over 20 points a game and is a all-around scorer with nice size and toughness at the off guard position
5. PJ Tucker - One, if not the best offensive rebounder in the country and averages over 18 points a game, carries Texas on his back, and the only one to show up when they played Duke

I just can't take the JJ nosnense anymore. Does anyone watch him play? he's a GOOD player, nothing more. He takes more shots than anyone so he scores more. last night was a perfect example, it looks great that he scored 27 BUT he shot 41% from the field and 31% from 3. In 3 years at duke he nebver shot at least 41% from 3 and has never come close to even leading his own conf in 3P %. He is a selfish player who always chokes in big spots but b/c he is a duke player he is shoved down our throats. The #s don't lie, the fact he never hits big shots don't lie, the fct that he has missed numerous wide open looks in big spots doesn't lie. He's a GOOD player and a great FT shooter- nothing more.

so are you saying kobe is not a great player because he is selfish and averages 27+ shots a game. he shots 44% a mere 5% under redicks shooting percentage this year. as redick according to espn.com is 127 of 258 which is 49%.. kobe shoots 34% from behind the arc while redick again according to espn.com is shooting 42% from behind the arc. he is a good shooter who can drive to the hole and plays pretty good defense. i mean i hate north carolina but i can give one of their players props if their good.. dont just say redick isnt good bc he plays for duke bc his numbers dont lie this year..

You are comparing pro #s against pro players and a 3P line much further back to a college player?
Redick is GOOD he's not close to great. he NEVER steps up in big games or big situations(and no a game in Dec is not a big game), he has NEVER hit a GW shot despite NUMEROUS open looks and has never come close to leading his own conference in 3P shooting. His Tourney #s are a joke, in 11 Tourney games:
-51 of 138(37%) from the field
-24 of 87 from 3(28%)
-21 assists to 23 turnovers
That's over 3 Tourney's so it's not an aberration. he's not a big time player, he's a big time scorer b/c he takes so many shots and his %s are always alot higher at the start of january than at the end of february when duke starts playing tougher games in the ACC. Good player, great FT shooter but overall he is vastly overrated and you guys will struggle to win it all w/ him as your go to guy a he is not a clutch player.

Have you guys watched the Tarheels freshmen? Tyler Hansbrough, Marcus Ginyard, Bobby Frasor, and Danny Green. Keep an eye on them. The Tarheels will be back for another championship run within the next 2-3 years with them and all their recruits coming in.

Didnt a former North Carolina Tar Heel and the best player ever to play the game once say "shoot to get hot, and shoot to stay hot" JJ is just living by the quote from the person who took more shots in the NBA than anyone else..A certain "AirMan" Michael Jordan....and clearly it has been shown that Sean Dockery and his half court heaves is the "CLUTCH" player on the team..
as for UNC and their freshman..their good but so are dukes... the have underclassmen demarcus nelson who is a sophmore(all time leading scorer in California history), Josh McRoberts(winner of just about every award a HS basketball player could win), Greg Paulus(two sport all-american), Martynas Pocius(lituanian[sp] national player) along with jamal boykin and eric boetang.so duke has its fair share of up and coming players to match the fire power of UNC..sounds like another great rivalry waiting to blossum...

Hansbrough is a locok for ACC Freshman of the year and he is playing like a st team ALL-ACC player as a freshman which is remarkable. This team will make a run NEXT year w/ this young group getting experience and w/ the amazing class we have coming in.

First you compare him to Kobe and now to the best basketball player of all-time? Come on, stop it! and 1 lucky half court heave does not make a player clutch.
as for UNC and their freshman..their good but so are dukes... the have underclassmen demarcus nelson who is a sophmore(all time leading scorer in California history), Josh McRoberts(winner of just about every award a HS basketball player could win), Greg Paulus(two sport all-american), Martynas Pocius(lituanian[sp] national player) along with jamal boykin and eric boetang.so duke has its fair share of up and coming players to match the fire power of UNC..sounds like another great rivalry waiting to blossum...
no question duke is better this year and duke has some young talent and a good class coming in BUT they don't have near the amoun of young talent the heels have and their next 2 classes cannot compare to what the heels have coming in next year. The talent advantage shifts back to UNC next year.
nelson is an average player, McRoberts looks like McShav, paulus is doing a decent job, pocious has done nothing and have Boateng and Boykin even played? On a team w/ not much depth that's not a good sign.
Again w/ K there you'll always have talent and coaching but the talent shifts back to UNC for at least a year or 2. Either way both teams will be big time teams and that's the way it should be.

Reddick wont be much in the NBA. He'll be playing against really good players every single game. He wont have 10 games of crap schools to rack his stats at the start of every year. Itd be great to see him go all 4 years and no National Title, thatd be great.

yea because i copied jay bilas...you guys got me...
as for me saying dockery was clutch that was with a lot of sarcazym..he is the furthest from clutch..
i do feel that UNC is probably goin to have the edge in talent next year.. as for mcroberts looking like shavlick randolph he is a role player this year he is playing behind the best big man in the country..he isnt going to shine like hansbrough bc hanbrough is all UNC has this year...both teams will have a ton of talent and like i said it should be a great rival blossuming

The only reason UNC isn't ranked number 1 this year is because they lost their top 7 scorers and 60% of their rebounding. Those are records for most talent lost in some weird ESPN stat.
