Who: Wally Judge
What: 2009 Jordan Brand Classic
Where: New York, New York | Madison Square Garden (19,763)
When: April 18, 2009 @ 7:00 PM CST
Media: ESPN2 | ESPN360
We finally get another game on ESPN2...kind of. Kansas State commit, Wally Judge, will compete with many of the same players that he did in the McDonald's All-American game (or was supposed to before he got hurt).
Tune in and see one of the future players test himself against some of the best competition prep basketball has to offer, and toss around various unreasonable expectations and/or criticisms.

Won't be around for this one...
…but I fired up the trusty DVR so I can catch the action when I return. Go Wally!
We'll carry the banner high!
Bring On The Cats
Let's get this shit started
Baseball team stubbed their toe, so it’s basketball season again for me!
Kinda some screwy starting lineups
I haven’t even heard of some of these starters, while Rivals Top 10 guys are coming off the bench. Weird.
Yeah, it's kind of a bummer that Wally isn't starting...
but at least we’ll see him play.

Wow. Nice look by Wall.

About two minutes in, and I feel safe in saying...
that this is some of the shittiest basketball I’ve ever seen. Who’s coaching these guys? Erik Spolestra?

How does ESPN have John Wall at #5?
He’s better than anyone in this class.

Wally's in. He had some nice moves on the post, but he traveled on the baseline.

I'm sorry, but that exchange reeked of ignorance.
However, it was nice that they stopped sucking Carolina dong for a few minutes.

Yeah, but I'm in too good of a mood to bitch about it
This commentator is definitely one of ESPiN’s worst, tho.
Yeah, let's keep asking that question. Maybe you'll keep saying our name enough that we'll become "big time"

First impressions...
Wally is a legit 6’8" or 6’9". He has a long, lean frame. Smooth moves on the post assisted by a long wingspan.
I salivate at what Greenwalt will do with this kid after two years.

He runs very well and is active on the inside.

"Without getting into specifics, my exit involves a McFlurry machine and a video tape of risque commercials from overseas." -- Jack Donaghy
He'll be at KSU for at least two years...
He won’t have the numbers to go next year. Clemete/Pullen/Kelly will dominate the stats. Judge and Samuels will provide the fireworks.
The following year…it’s on like Donkey Kong.

"Without getting into specifics, my exit involves a McFlurry machine and a video tape of risque commercials from overseas." -- Jack Donaghy
If I were a betting man, I'd say he'll be at KSU for three years.

These kids aren't even attempting to run sets
It’s like a pickup game at the YMCA

Note to Xavier Henry...GO TO KENTUCKY
John Calipari is a great human being, and you, John Wall, and DeMarcus Cousins need to play together. Don’t go to KU and waste your time.
Thank you. I’m 100% serious. Kentucky needs you. Go there and not that craphole, Lawrence.

He really is Bill Self, Xaver. He's telling you to go be with your real family.

He looked a lot better in the Cheeseburger game

Nice stroke, big guy.

He could be the missing piece that we need...
I’m so excited to see Samuels, Judge, and Kelly on the floor at the same time. Wow.

"Without getting into specifics, my exit involves a McFlurry machine and a video tape of risque commercials from overseas." -- Jack Donaghy
I love Rod's long-term prospects...
He’s just going to be a bench guy next year. Clemente/Pullen will be a tough combo with another year between them.

"Without getting into specifics, my exit involves a McFlurry machine and a video tape of risque commercials from overseas." -- Jack Donaghy
DISAGREE
McGruder will be impact player next year.
I think he could play the 3 for us. If nothing else, we need more than 2 guards, and rumors are flying fast and furious about Buchi and Fred. The minutes will be available.
Holy cow...Wally went behind the back on transition...
He may be better than I thought…two years may be too many…

"Without getting into specifics, my exit involves a McFlurry machine and a video tape of risque commercials from overseas." -- Jack Donaghy
Man, Orton is a beast
Uk is gonna be off the charts good, especially if they land Wall and Henry and return Meeks and Patterson.
Plus they upgraded coaching, too.
Calipari will build a monster at Kentucky...

It appears ESPN would agree with me that
Wally has had the single most impressive dunk in this game.
They’ve only shown it 17 more times. :-)
Renardo Sidney is legit
Reminds me of Bill a little. USC will need to lean on him a ton, since they lose Gibson, Hackett and DeRozen and Solomon Hill bailed back to Arizona.
I just caught up a bit...
Jimmy Dykes: “Dalonte Hill keeps bringing those players to Manhattan, KS, which isn’t easy to do.”
Actually, Jimmy, it’s not that bad. It’s actually a pretty nice place, and most kids that visit commit.
(Sorry, Bracket, but Jimmy is one of my least favorite commentators, and he gets under my skin.)

I hate bitching about the media conspiracy against KSU...
And I didn’t want to mess with your good mood. :)
Anyway, Jimmy Dykes is just a tool. Everything he’s said about KSU has been negative tonight.

"Texas had that Final Four look about them this year"
WTF? That may be the single stupidest thing I have ever heard an ESPiN moron say.
This whole broadcast reeks of JV quality.

I think Texas A&M in the “Adventures” series just found a face.

I'm way behind you guys...
….still 10 minutes to go in the first half, but these announcers are already making me sick.
They just talked about John Calipari building Memphis with the “table scraps” left over by schools like North Carolina, etc.
REALLY?!
We'll carry the banner high!

Derrick Rose was not fucking table scraps...
Jesus. Jimmy is suck a fucking dipshit.

5 signed players for the Big 12 = "Oklahoma heavy and Texas heavy"
I count 2 for OU, 2 for UT and 1 for us.
Fucktards.
Oh, and 0 for KU.
Is it wrong if I want Jimmy Dykes to get hit by a bus?

"Without getting into specifics, my exit involves a McFlurry machine and a video tape of risque commercials from overseas." -- Jack Donaghy
I am really, really tired...
…of them talking about how Kentucky will be preseason #1 next year if Patterson and Meeks come back, with Cousins and whoever else coming in.
Easy there, cowboy. Let’s take it easy before we anoint them just yet.
We'll carry the banner high!

I agree
I despise KU, but no way they should not be #1. Experienced veterans > talented frosh every time.
Every KU fan that heard that just puckered their buttholes a bit.

Jimmy just listed the studs of the '07 class
Rose, Mayo, Love … and BAYLESS?
Uh, heard of MICHAEL BEASLEY, dumbass?
Can't wait to hear that one
Jarryd Bayless…wow.

Verdict: Wally was one of the best five players on the floor tonight.
Best player: John Wall.
Wall is Derrick Rose, but better.
Bracket…thoughts?

"Without getting into specifics, my exit involves a McFlurry machine and a video tape of risque commercials from overseas." -- Jack Donaghy
Pretty much agree
Very much impressed with Sidney, Cousins and Orton.
I thought Bradley, Plumlee and Henry played better in Miami.
Wally slightly exceeded my expectations. Gotta love that he banged his elbow ON THE RIM and had to leave at the end.
I loved the earlier exchange...
…where one of the announcers said these players are in for an eye-opening day when they go through their first college practice.
Other guy: Why?
Why?!?!?! Umm, because they’ll be playing a bunch of guys who were good in high school, with a coach who doesn’t give a shit about their ego. God in heaven.
We'll carry the banner high!

Thoughts on Judge...
Biggest strength: Runs the floor better than anyone I’ve seen over 6’8" in a long time. Even better than Mike.
Other strengths: Long athlete with potential to put muscle on his frame. Could be a supreme athletic big man. Think Rudy Gay.
Biggest weakness: Seems lackadaisical and takes plays off. He kind of spaces on defense from time to time, but Frank will correct that.
Overall: Great player with solid upside. Will most likely start next year on the blocks with Curtis Kelly.

"Without getting into specifics, my exit involves a McFlurry machine and a video tape of risque commercials from overseas." -- Jack Donaghy
I definitely noticed that he was usually the 1st or 2nd down the floor, every time
He’ll fit in well in our uptempo offense.
