Big Board

[stingray358]

No disrespect intended, but I don't see yogi
ferrels name on any NBA big boards or projected mock drafts and while I get that one can be an excellent college basketball player without that ability necessarily translating to the NBA, I find it interesting that he is nowhere to be found on the NBA radar.

He's a fine college player. About all that really matters at this point.

Yes, I certainly agree with you, but we have faced his equal, or superior players all year and we have been successful and actually getting better at handling the talented backcourt players that we have faced. Particularly lately,wouldn't you agree ?

 

[Tom79]

Yeah, I'd agree. he may get some notice and a team may well give him an opportunity. Good player, Lawson and Felton have acquitted themselves nicely over the years and are about the same size. One never knows...

Yeah, it's always been that way for Yogi. When you're that small and don't score 20+ pts a night, you are going to have a low draft rating. Winning a title always improves everyones draft stock but Yogi is listed at 6 foot and I question even that. Mateen Cleaves is a great comparison. I think Felton was closer to 6'1-6'2 right? Still short by NBA standards but a little more forgiving defensively. He's a great college player and can give anyone fits but his pro potential is still very much up in the air due to his considerable lack of size.

Sure would.

They beat an overrated Avg Kentucky team and now he is the best PG in the country and every talking head in the world is picking them to beat Carolina and win it all its a joke.

 

[UNC Blue Hup]

I've seen him in person a few times, Yogi is relentless, but nothing our guards haven't seen and handled, if we guard the '3' it's all over but the cryin.

 

[Harpo Marxist]

the pros is next year's business.....the NCAAs is this year's business....lets not get the cart before the horse. I remember an IU guard named AJ Guyton who never had a lucrative NBA career...but he played against a mighty UNC team loaded with NBA players....and he lit them up. Before him..there was a guy named Isaiah Thomas.....

 

[heelmanwilm]

Never heard of her

 

[stingray358]

Never heard of her

Yeah, and I remember Randolph childress from wake, and Bryce cotton from Providence more recently, but we have dealt with brogdon and Dunn among others so I think with the proper effort we should be able to deal with ferrel

Felton and Lawson were built like running backs with an extra gear. Yea they are all short for PG in NBA but there is a physical difference.

Yeah, Lawson was unguardable as that season.wore on and.felton had steel in his veins at the end also, hope ferrel doesn't reach that level, but again, we've dealt with tough PGs all year
