SJ = 1
RJ = top 10
BA = first round
KZ = first round.

However the national championship should push them even higher. :D

I recently learned there's no such thing as a pterodactyl. It's a derivation of pterodactylus, the correct name, which is weird because as I write the correct name, the spell check marks it, and when I google the correct name, it shows results for the incorrect name. I hear this drives scientists mad. Apparently the pterodactylus isn't even a dinosaur, either, it's more bird than reptile. And then there's the pteranodon, which is bigger than the pterodactylus, and the quetzalcoatlus, even larger, with wingspans of 30 and 40 feet, respectively. There's also talk about an even bigger pterosaur, the hatzygopteryx. So really the pterodactyl is a big pussy. But to the point you and 97 are making, yeah, RHJ has a ridiculously long wingspan, and I believe he can fly.

Rondae is going to be a beast next year, very excited to see him as a sophmore. Lute always says a player makes their biggest jump between their freshman and sophomore year.

its amazing how many people think pteranodons and ichthyosaurs and all of those are dinosaurs. it's like thinking that humans are in the same family as shrews.

You read enough postings on the internet and you realize that most humans are shrews.

KD skills camp listed him at 6'7" 219lbs

@Josh_Stirn
No surprise but Sam Dekker, Rondae Jefferson and Stanley Johnson have been the most impressive players in these 5-on-5s. #KDSkillsAcademy

http://www.theshadowleague.com/articles ... ls-academy
RONDAE HOLLIS-JEFFERSON, University of Arizona, 6-foot7-Sophomore – Hollis-Jefferson was one of the best players at the camp. He was very crafty with the ball, using hesitation and change of pace dribbles to create space for his smooth lefty jumper. He rebounded with strength, displayed excellent vision and passing ability as a facilitator, and his mid-range stroke and body control around the basket was smoother than a stick of melting margarine. On the defensive end, with a wingspan that measures over 7-foot, he’s strong, long and athletic enough to guard multiple positions. If he continues to improve in the manner that he did last year at Arizona as a freshmen, he’ll be a top 15 pick in next year’s NBA Draft. Don't be surprised if the Wildcats, despite the loss of Aaron Gordon to the NBA, win the National Championship next year

Rondae Hollis- Jefferson - 6'7 219/ Sophomore/ Arizona
Hollis Jefferson showed he was right at home running point forward duties at the camp which he has done pretty much his entire basketball career. His versatility is what sets him apart, he truly can play any position on the perimeter at any given time. He defended well, got others going well, finished well and hit his jumpers. In a funny exchanged, he was asked by a gentlemen on the Nike Staff "who was he guarding?" Hollis- Jefferson without hesitation said "Kevin". Kevin responded by saying "You cant guard me" Hollis-Jefferson answered with "Yea right" KD then hit a jumper on him. That right there tells you all you need to know, Hollis Jefferson accepted the challenge against the MVP of the league on the spot. With that kind of competitive nature, Arizona opponents will be in for a looong season dealing with him.

UA basketball: Pair lands LeBron camp invite


16 hours ago • Arizona Daily Star


UA basketball players Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and Stanley Johnson have been invited to the LeBron James Skills Academy, one of the nation’s top showcases for young players, ESPN’s Jeff Goodman reported today.

The Las Vegas camp, which opens Wednesday, features 30 of the best college basketball players in the country. It was founded by James, a four-time NBA Most Valuable Player. Campers will spend the four days playing in front of media and scouts from nearly every NBA team.

Hollis-Jefferson averaged 9.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 blocks as a UA freshman last season. Johnson, the Wildcats’ top incoming player, recently took part on the USA U18 National Team that compiled a 5-0 record in international play last month.

I didn't realize how much I really don't like some of Kentucky's players until that comparison got posted.

Someone needs to tell them having a dominant AAU team doesn't equal anything beyond last year's results--a mediocre team that caught the right breaks and hit a hot streak at the right time.

I hate Duke with all my soul, but I'm so much more concerned about Duke than Kentucky next year.

Four first round talents and a 5th year senior coach's son bulldog pass first PG... Don't care if it's the best in the country, that combo plus Miller's touch is enough for a title run.

If this happens, and if Stanley is as good as we think he will be, and if Bash returns to form, and if Tarc continues to improve, and if TJ finds his three point shot again, well sir, we'll be cutting down the nets in April. :)

Awful writing, esp. from an Arizona site:

Arizona's starting lineup -- if we project it to be T.J. McConnell, Stanley Johnson, Hollis-Jefferson, Brandon Ashley and Kaleb Tarczewski -- has age, experience, versatility and the defensive edge on the Wildcats.

Depends. Last year, we were the NC favorite. Freak injury and we lose in the Elite Eight. Would Miller have done a better job if the bone doesn't break and we beat UConn and Tucky and win #2?

If we squeak in the tourney as a #10 seed and make the FF because all 4 opponents get in bus crashes and forfeit, is he better next year?

It all depends.
