I’m buying Stephen Curry, he is a legit player and he could be a better pro than his dad in the future. I’m also buying Jason Thompson, I thought he would fall off by now, but he has proven to be a legit prospect as well .

I’m buying all these players. I have have watched many of them so far this season and they’re awesome. I checked out the stats and highlights of others, they got it going on for real! .

I feel many of the layaway players, will become great buys in the second half of the season, especially Roy Hibbert, Chris Lofton, Drew Neitzel, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. Right now I think they’re just playing on cruise control .

Ben Woodside and Ben Winkleman have definitely proved they’re worthy to buy as legit D1 players. I also have been following up on how Kai Williams does in his games. There is serious basketball being played in North and South Dakota .

I think in the 2nd half of the season Robin Lopez at Stanford and Bryce Taylor at Oregon will get hot. So I’m goning to put them in the layaway for now .

If I could have one player on my team for Christimas it would be Dionte Christmas. He is the real deal and very underrated .

I think the layaway is a perfect spot for O.J. Yeah he’s averaging 20 pts a game, but overall he and his team have looked suspect. I think as the season moves forward he’ll be a hot commidity on the buy list. I also think DeAndre Jordan, Darren Collison, Chris Lofton, Roy Hibbert, and Drew Neitzel will be hot commidities on the buy list further down in the season. Finally I would like to add Shuan Pruitt from Illinois to the buy list. And put Jonny Flynn and Eric Devendorf from Syracuse on the layaway, as well as A.J. Price from UConn. They are looking good enough, that I would hold on to for awhile .

I’m lovin the way the way Jason Thompson, Courtney Lee, Kai Williams, Ben Woodside, Reggie Williams, Kyle Hines, Bo McCalebb, A.J.Graves, Anthony Williams, Alex Barnett, Jaycee Carroll, Leon WIlliams and another not mentioned Antonie Agudio, all these dudes are ballin, and repping the smaller schools, so that these players can’t compete with the best of them despite where they play at. I think we’re gonna see more Rodney Stuckey’s in this upcoming draft .

I would also like to add Jamar Butler from Ohio State to the layaway, as well as Kyle Singler from Duke. I think those two will get hotter as the season progresses .

Yeah I would definitely be buying Jon Brockman, Reggie Williams, Jason Thompson, Michael Beasley, Jerryd Bayless, Brian Roberts, and Donte Greene. I love the season they’re having so far. And I must say I’m disappointed in Chris Lofton, Ty Lawson, Taj Gibson, Roy Hibbert, and Drew Neitzel. I thought those five would be way better right now, but I wouldn’t count them out yet so the layaway is a perfect spot for them right now .
