    Wow, I love the way he moves, got that herky jerky thing you just don't find in players over 6'2" very often.

    He's playing against 6 foot white kids that look like they belong in junior high. He doesn't look like anything that special to me.

    He's making effortless 3's from about 5 feet behind the line and no look passes. What exactly does it have to do with his competition?

    Half those highlights are of him crossing up 5'8 white kids.

    He's a 5 star recruit for a reason. He dominated against other future college players in the AAU circuit. He's still got another year til he plays in college.

    The point still stands though. If I had his height and athleticism, I'd be dominating 5'8 white kids too.

    I think every single person associated with Gonzaga, even if they aren't even playing at Gonzaga, should get their own thread on this board.

    He'll be going to Kentucky would be my guess if he's that great, but whatever.

    Gonzaga's long list star players in college who turned into NBA greats over the last 15 years should persuade all 5* recruits to go there.

    Adam Morrison
    Dan Dickau
    Richie Frahm
    Casey Calvary
    The one guy big guy who did acid and got kicked off the team and then let back on it - Highfelt???
    Ronnie Turiaf - solid, but not exactly an NBA All-Star
    Matt Santagelo
    Blake Stepp
    Matt Bouldin
    Robert Sacre
    Derek Raivio

    Tons of NBA talent!

    *yawn*

    This is about as exciting as Olynyk's leaping ability.

    -edit-

    You know who else was a 5-star recruit who put up MONSTER numbers as JR in HS?

    Travis "KG Jr." Outlaw.

    Jeremy Pargo, Austin Daye....

    If you want a guarantee to be in the tourney every year you go to play for Gonzaga.

    That list is a better list than any other mid major conference team.

    Olynyk's a cross between Marc Gasol and Boris Diaw. You wouldn't take either because of their leaping ability, right?

    Marc has the bulk of Sabonis. You can't compare the two.

    Did you just compare a C to a SF?

    Both bad comparisons.
