Not to be a hater, but we've had better players than Mali come through here and make zero impact in the NBA.  I'm in the camp that he won't make it.  Despite what he's hearing, I don't think he's really a first round talent right now.

As for G, we've seen guys like him, but he's a bit unique in terms of having run the point at his size.  I could see him playing guard on a good team's second unit in the NBA, but I've felt that way before.  G measure well and he had a good leap, but he lacks a bit of explosiveness, those fast twitch muscles that let you turn on the jets.  G is not that guy.  But, gosh, on a team like San Antonio or Dallas, couldn't you seem him on their second unit.  He's such a heady player.  I hope he gets a shot.

But then again, John Wallace didn't make it in the league, you know?  That's the thing; fans want to get all pumped up about these kids who leave early, but if John freaking Wallace couldn't make it in the NBA, well, no wonder C.J. Fair or Wes Johnson or Kris Joseph didn't make it.
