I have seen this kid play about 10 times this season and I think he is the best college player that I have ever seen. He can do absolutely everything, handle, shoot, post, shot off the dribble, rebound, create off the dribble, block shots. His defensive intensity is not that high, but his offensive game is so polished that he doesn't even have to rely on his athleticism, which is superb.

My prediction is that next year he goes for 20+. In 2 years everyone will have forgotten that this was supposed to be King James NBA because Durant will be better. Lebron is a great player, but I think that Durant is a better, more skilled player who is not fully physically developed like Lebron was when he was, like 12 or so.

Is he Devin's brother? He was a good player as a freshman pre-mission. Too bad that's the last time BYU's had anybody decent.

I'm anxiously waiting for the next installment of "A Dad, A Boy and A Ball."

They could be mistaken for twins. I know that George and his wife have got to be sick that their baby did not go to the Lord's University and instead went to the flagship university in the most iniquitous of states, Texas.

It's better that he didn't go on a mission. He'd have come home all pasty white.

That was laugh out loud funny - the real kind of laugh out loud funny, not the internet acronym "LOL" kind.

To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
