VanVleet is a better PG...I think VanVleet is the best PG in the country. Payne can have his pts, but TU simply needs to eliminate the effectiveness of others around him.Originally posted by I.I.:
Is Cameron Payne the nation's top PG? We may find out tonight. Scouts say he is much better than Nic Moore. Averaging around 20 ppg. Toughest test yet for Harrison, Woodard, Ray and Curtis.
I agree Gold Cincy's bigs are so good. They played really well against Kentucky. That game was a war, Cincy likes to play rough and tumble.Originally posted by Gold*:
Haith compared these guys to Cincy, but I don't see it. Murray State has way better guard play, but doesn't seem to have the bigs that give everyone trouble inside (though they sure beat up on UTEP). I'm not sure we've played anyone like them. SMU and Temple didn't have shooters like this, but SMU obviously has a little more depth inside. Maybe a more effective Tulane or ECU, in terms of style?
TU hasn't played a single team all year that compares well to Murray State. They're like Wichita State's offense mixed with Houston's defense.Originally posted by Gold*:

Which Curtis will show up? I hope it is the NIT Curtis.Originally posted by Gold*:
I suspect we will see Curtis on Payne. Curtis will do a good job but it will go unnoticed on here.
We will send them all at him. To be honest, we need to control the glass and defend the other four. Payne can't beat TU by himself.Originally posted by Gold*:
I'd take the Curtis who did a good job on Nic Moore at SMU. That's what I'm sayin.
That is a good pick by OKC and addresses a need. I think the Thunder would eventually love to move Westbrook to the 2 which is a more natural position for him and keep Durant as a long 3. How quickly can Payne get his game under control and adapt to the NBA?Drafted by the Thunder today
