"The Official 2012 NBA Prospect Thread 4 Thruthiness and Justivity"
Thu May-31-12 02:12 PM by Basaglia

  

          

MMMMMMMMMMHMMMMMM...this my way of gettin everybody LOCKED IN...y'all can make separate threads on the draft or whatever, but this is for MY personal records.

i'm listing all the prospects in this thread...and all you gotta do is reply with your opinion on them. that's all i'm asking. it can be detailed or you can simply say "he gonna be good" or "he gonna be sorry." bottomline is NOBODY is gonna get to pretend they thought someone was good or sorry anymore and have the thread fall outta evidence/existence. nah, dogg. we going on record for real. because bammas on this board STAY LYING!

and if you don't contribute and try to cuban B this thread...GOOD...i don't have to respect or acknowledge your opinion about ANY player from this draft.

AND-0

you just mad.

Mike Kidd-Gilchrist
May 31st 2012
5
Perennial All-Defensive team guy...could be great on offense...
May 31st 2012
6
Love him. Alongside the right star, he'd be scary.
May 31st 2012
7
yup...he could easily be better than Iggy by year 2
May 31st 2012
8
      does he really have Iggy's ballhandling and playmaking ability?
May 31st 2012
14
           yeah...he just doesn't look as fluid doing it...just like Ron Ron
May 31st 2012

May 31st 2012

                Iggy was throwing up triple-doubles in college, MKG was never...
May 31st 2012

                     He put up three for a shitty Arizona team as a sophomore.
May 31st 2012
33
                          Iggy averaged almost 5 assists a game in college, a lot of point guards....
May 31st 2012
57
                               The fuck? Who said anything about assists? lol
May 31st 2012
63
                                    That's thing, they might be similar defensively, but Iggy's offensive...

May 31st 2012

May 31st 2012

Easily second option on a playoff team good... but All-Star good and maybe even franchise player good. I'd take him on my team in a heartbeat. Crazy potential.

(By the way, he ain't keepin the unibrow. He's gonna wonder why the other players are all getting TV spots and not him until he plucks that sumbitch.)

He won't bust and will be good for a long time, but I don't see him being a franchise guy. He won't dominate the paint like he did in college unless he changes his body significantly. His offensive game also has a ton of room for refinement.

In response to Reply # 1


  

          

He won't be as good at shooting, passing, or ballhandling (where KG was almost guard-like in his prime), but he'll make a similar impact on the defensive end and be very solid on the boards as well. Multiple time All Star. Probably avgs 18 or so in his prime.

Not a Franchise player in the traditional sense, but will become a solid player on the offensive end based on his quickness and shooting touch.

If he plays the 3, he'll be giving your favorite wing scorer fits.

He won't be an offensive powerhouse

Upside = Larry Nance

Downside = Tyrus Thomas


I question if he's an Alpha male who will be able to take control instead of being just a complimentary player


He will be a beast on the low post D and may end up gaining weight and being a Camby like center in the future but he will still get banged by bamma ass Al Jefferson types

In response to Reply # 1
Thu May-31-12 05:22 PM by ChuckNeal

          

Can be the number one on a chip contender but will probably have to be in a situation similar to what KG had in Boston. I worry about whether he'll be able to consistently get high percentage opportunities with that frame. Will he become just a pick and pop big man jump shooter and alley oop finisher on the offensive end? Also, Bismack (whatever his last name is) dominated Davis physically in that US v. the World game a year ago. Davis was and is clearly better but Bismack was able to knock Davis out of position several times and out position him for boards. All this to say that Davis needs to add a bit a bulk. If he does, he'll be fine and will be able to be a high level shot blocker/rebounder. I expect him to be able to shock people with how good he is on the perimeter as well. I think he'll display similar skills to what we see from KG - maybe not as refined but close.

Anyway....ceiling: KG...floor: Camby.

In response to Reply # 1


  

          

He's young, but he'll gain more weight to compete w/ the big men
in the league. Already an All-Defensive caliber player, he's
got all the intangibles you could dream of in a No. 1 pick.

Also, lets not forget dude was a gaurd before the growth spurt.
He's got handle, and will develop an quality offensive game
as he grows.

The sky's the limit for this kid.

It ain't easy... but it sho' is fun

All-defensive team staple, multiple ASGs. I like the Camby with more offensive potential comparisons.

I can see him picking up where Artest left off around 2004 before he went crazy. He can be that good, because Ron was damn good back then.

Can't miss.

Is he the #1 guy on a playoff contender? Probably not... but he could be a better Iguodala, and Iggy did okay in the playoffs this year.

If he got next to John Wall or Kyrie Irving next fall, and they could have a speedy flashy offense with those two side-by-side, he will legitimately push his teammate for ROY honors.

33. "He put up three for a shitty Arizona team as a sophomore."
In response to Reply # 26


  

          

Not that it's easy to do, cuz it isn't, and one of them came against a ranked Texas team, but the others were against super shitty Liberty and super shitty UCLA (where he shot under 20% for the game).

As a freshman, he played off the bench of a stacked Arizona team and got nothing close to a triple double.

I like Iggy a lot. And the comparison isn't perfect due to MKG's bigness. But to say MKG at age 18, who started for the best team in the country and did plenty of playmaking, isn't as good as Iggy was at the same age, when Iggy couldn't even start for a team that flamed out... is unwise. In my humble opinion.

don't average 5 assists in college. MGK had more than 5 assists in a game ONCE.

I already said the Iggy comparison wasn't perfect. Different roles in the offense in college, different strengths. Who the fuck looks at MKG and says, "If only he'd get 5 dimes a game"? lol

I said MKG at 18 is better than Iggy at 18. Which is unequivocally true in both box scores and simply watching games.

I personally think he's a bigger and probably better Iggy. You disagree. Cool.

skill set was way ahead of MKG's.

MKG is just a bamma that plays hard, that's good enough to be a 4th option on a national championship squad in today's NCAA but guys like him are a dime a dozen in the NBA, that dude is LONG way from being an All-Star.

Ideally he's the 3rd best player on a contender but he's gonna be one of them cats who's always on winning teams. Upside is probably a little less high than your typical top 5 pick but you're paying for probability here... I am 98% sure he is not going to be sorry (barring injury, of course).

They're not going to be on "contenders", they're most likely going to be on shitty teams and as a top 5 pick with a big contract they're going to be expected to be "the guy", not a hustling role-player.

66. "I just hope he doesn't go to the Bobcats"
In response to Reply # 48


  

          

You're right, most of these types of guys don't go til the mid/late 1st - even the most favorable comparison above (Ron Artest) didn't go til the mid 1st, and those early 2000s Bulls teams were horrible. But Ron escaped and has been on winning teams ever since, and the only reason people get down on Iggy is cause he gets paid way too much on a mediocre team. As long as he doesn't get stuck in that NBA purgatory of overpaid "star" on mediocre team, his career will be fine.

(Which isn't to say I'll blame him when he takes an $80 million contract from the Bucks in three seasons, for basketball enjoyment purposes I hope he gets with an up and coming star like Kyrie or a decent team at some point)

His ball handling was very good last yr as well and will get better. He's no Kobe off the dribble but neither was pip. He was the best finisher on the break out of all of the draft prospects as well. Plus the other pip comparisons, 6'7, wiry, athletic and a beast on defense. High motor + intelligence and feel and I say it's definitely possible he reaches that ceiling. We'll see.

Maybe another Cal guy coming through (with him working hard on a jumper) at #3 can do the trick for what's been a dissapointing start of a career for John John.

MKG is a can't-miss but I don't see him as a perennial all-star, more like a great glue guy type who gets a few All-D nods, maybe a Six Man of the Year & maybe 1 or 2 AS game nods by way of being viewed as a major contributor to a good team.

I think he's as fluid, maybe not with the vert. The handle is nicer than I thought, just loose. But yeahI'm reaching. The Ron thing is interesting but is MKG gonna be that physically imposing?

by the way, the more i research everything and think of the cavs best fits, the more i come back to MKG...lmao. man, they got 3 picks after the 4 to get "scoring"

young...i just see perry as such a HOMERUN chance, but i need to just stop and take the sure thing where it counts most. that's a STARTER at 3 and a DEPENDABLE teammate..he can finish and wants to be great. let's just leave it alone, dogg.

i wouldn't be mad if they traded with Charlotte for the 2, hendo, tyrus and give up the 4, 24 and the expirings of walton and boobie

Please Cheezy-E don't draft him.

Personal favorite kid in the draft. Another guy I can see being a all-defensive team staple. Ends up the sidekick to some alpha-star on a winning franchise. Not gonna go as far as the Pippen comps, but I like the sane Ron Artest ones.

In response to Reply # 23


  

          

They have slightly different body types, but maybe a CJ Miles type? Supposed to be a sniper type at 2 guard but is just sorta OK shooting outside, and he isn't really explosive to the rim. It's a tough adjustment going to the longer 3 point line and better defenders, and it's not like his percentage was dragged down cause he was taking a bunch of bailout shots for that Florida team (that was Boynton and Walker). Borderline NBA starter that your team is always looking to upgrade.

He's short.

He rebounds ok.

Not very athletic.

Can't shoot like say, Hersey Hawkins to compensate his height.

I'd rather have Wesley Matthews than draft this dude.

Not as good at ANYTHING as people say he is...not AS athletic...not AS good a shooter...not AS good a handle...people are lying about this guy.

he is a 20ppg on an AWFUL team where he's the #1 option. on good team? he's not a 1 or 2 guy. period.

he's barely a starter on a good team. i just don't buy it.

if he ever drops 20ppg, i'll eat paint chips.

In response to Reply # 67


          

quite as long but a little more athletic, not quite as athletic as Gordon but a little longer and more durable. He was the guy at Florida on both ends of the floor from day 1 as a true freshman. Were there some bumps along the way? Of course but his ceiling is unlimited. He'll be a 20ppg guy from day one, ROY and a future All-Star.

And "no", he won't be a 20ppg scorer from day 1.

He has an extremely limited offense.

And I've seen him play enough to know he'll be a lower-tier sg.

thats when he started shooting shitty. Non shooting wrist but it still fucked with him. I watched most of those Indian games that yr. Plus - Gordon is a much better athlete than Beal and better at attacking and finishing at the rim.

174. "Not as good of a shooter as Ray not as athletic as Gordon"
In response to Reply # 61


          

don't get these comparisons AT ALL. He's also not as athletic as Ray (cats are really sleepin' on Ray's quicks and hops). I'd argue that he doesn't shoot it from deep as well as Gordon (both shot it at around 34% in their first yrs but Gordon had that wrist injury). No way of telling who will be more durable so thats definitely a reach on your part.

What I do like about Beal tho is that he competes and is a pretty smart ball player with good off the ball movement. He rebounded well playing as the third guard and he works hard on d (even though he won't be able to stay in front of the elite two's in the L imo). I see him as a guy that could avg 18-19 on a team like the 76ers....MAYBE. Not getting the comparisons to a hall of famer though.

I find Basa's hatred of him (which I think stems from Austin Rivers vs Beal high school shit) entertaining so I'm kinda hoping he ends up in Cleveland for the comedy.

45. "misused in Baylor's offense, glad he waited it out"
In response to Reply # 24
Thu May-31-12 03:19 PM by Dr Claw

  

          

very good athlete. he's like a 6-11" guard. does not rebound as much as his size would suggest (esp. offensively). the thing that scares me most about him as a prospect is that he has those flashes where he disappears, especially defensively.

sometimes he strikes me as a bootleg Lamar Odom (particularly when he disappears) or even Antawn Jamison (because of the defensive disappearance). he works best in low pressure situations.

that being said, he's the #2 guy I want on the Cavs after MKG, if the Cavs had a second pick outside of the top 10, I'd take him in a minute. I'd take him over Barnes (who I emphatically do NOT want on that team). It's about team fit. Kyrie >>>>>>>>>>>>> the Baylor guards, and right away, the Cavs won't be asking for much out of him. he could actually be a good case where someone was DEVELOPED on the team, so I can dead that knock on the franchise.

He grew on me throughout the year. he was outta position and played fairly well. he drifts. i will give you that. that's a red flag. but i just think he's one of those dudes that doesn't want to be THE MAN...not yet anyway.

now, he's being viewed as a piece, not a savior, so a lot of weight if off him.

He's going to be a good pro. It's all mental with him.

In response to Reply # 24


  

          

Lemme see him play a season on a non-Baylor team. Then I'll decide.

Cuz like Drummond, I love the potential in his body, and unlike Drummond, I love the potential in his game that we've already seen in tiny flashes. But like Drummond, I'm scared cuz of the disappearances and the mental lapses in college.

Give me a season. Fuck it, half. Then I'll decide. Too scared of the mental component to fully endorse, too scared of a bust call backfiring HUGELY to fully deny. He'll be an all or nothing pick for a GM.

He's got all the tools to be great but I can't help but look at him and see Anthony Randolph. Intermittently putting up numbers but just leaves you wondering why he never lives up to his talent.

Some guys put it together mentally when they make the pros but I'd be scared to make that bet.

In response to Reply # 24


  

          

It's hard to say who his comparrison is cause
Few 6'11 dudes had handles like him

I will say he can be what Lamar odom
Was supposed to be
Could be better

If he beefs up gets stronger
And improves low post
He can be an all nba dude by year 3

Worst case scenario he is lakers Lamar odom post last chip

27. "Better rebounding Paul Millsap"
In response to Reply # 25


  

          

Which makes him a borderline All-Star. I'm not sure his ceiling is all that high, but I doubt he's sorry. At the very least he's gonna be a solid starter.

In response to Reply # 25


          

I can't really see the difference between him and other muscular not tall big power forwards.

He can't shoot like Derrick Williams.

He might be a better rebounding Brandon Bass.

Could be Kevin Seraphin-esque

In response to Reply # 25


  

          

If he develops some finesse post moves and relies less on bamma post moves, he could be as good as a Diet Coke Elton Brand-- not too shabby. I like him to improve every year, to struggle at first, but to end up winning out long run. Not convinced yet he's an All-Star, but that work ethic has me pretty certain he'll stick and start even if his high draft position might result in bust whispers.

In response to Reply # 25


          

i think he could be a good post defender even with his height issues if he stays in the weight room.

good enough jumper to stretch the defense against post defenders he can't post up.

i still blame hip-hop.

If he keeps improving his handle and his J gets a lil more consistent...DANGER!!!

Dude has a decent post game and an aggressive mentality. Plus he raised his lil bro at Kansas or some shit. I love this dude already.

naw, I'm jokin'... proportional to the HYPE he got a couple years ago, dude is gonna be SORRY!

the last season at UNC showed you all you need to see. has yet to develop his own shot consistently, which is the biggest knock on a dude who was siced as the second coming of LeFavre.

if the Cavs draft him, I'm gonna be mad. unlike most other Heels who have worn the Wine and Gold (and previous iteration of the team colors).

Won't give you much more than 16 ppg in a season tops, but he can stroke the ball if you get it to him in position, which means there's a place for him in this league. I don't see how he could start on a true contender, but he fills a role and could start for some teams right away. His value on a team is DIRECTLY related to the quality of his point guard.

Very situation dependent. He goes to say Charlotte or somewhere where he is supposed to be the man on offense... he will be labelled a bust. Think he eventually finds his niche as a third-option on a decent team that just needs to knock down ocassional Js.

86. "A more physically gifted Deandre Jordan."
In response to Reply # 38


  

          

From the unrefined offense to the shitty free throw shooting to the disappearing in games to the potential to be a major factor in other games, I smell a Deandre. I just love the physical attributes on Drummond and the speed at his size. Put him on a team where he can be lobbed to and developed behind a starting big man (Wizards?). Not gonna know what he can be til at soonest three years from now.

It walks like a bust and talks like a bust... but some team has got to take a flier on this kid if solely cuz of his body.

105. "More physically gifted to be drafted 30 spots higher? "
In response to Reply # 86


  

          

Every year a dude like this is in the draft.

@ 5 - he could get you fired.

@ 10 - hopes and wishes.

@ 20 - could be a steal

@ 35-40 - You can't sleep on his upside and he's going to make some GM's sorry they passed.

Same as it ever was!

106. "When he's that much more physically gifted, yeah."
In response to Reply # 105
Thu May-31-12 04:06 PM by Frank Longo

  

          

Ideally, he'd fall to ten rather than top five, but a GM could get fired for passing on that potential too, especially if your team needs a big man and Drummond hits, and ESPECIALLY in a draft with veeeeeery little big man depth. Tyler Zeller is a pretty ferociously unsexy consolation prize.

177. "Man is he dumb"
In response to Reply # 38


          

So gifted, so dumb. If he ends up in the right situation with a coach that can push him he could end up being pretty good. The athleticsm and frame are there and he does have pretty good ball skills. He has absolutely no back to the basket game though and looked lost ALL YEAR on both ends of the floor. If I was the Bobcats, I'd trade down to get him though. What do they have to lose? MKG isnt a franchise savior plus you already have/had Henderson/Wallace (although MKG will be better than both - they're all athletic and hard working wings). Trade down - pick up a nice young player, and Drummond....see how it works out.

229. "shouldn't have re-classified. immature as hell. HOWEVER..."
In response to Reply # 38


  

          

he done lost 22 lbs since march. and word is he trying hard.

now, if he being a bamma and woking hard for a couple spots/million on his FIRST contract...imagine how hard he gonna try at 23 and 28 for them second and thirds?

see?

i dunno. this is the same reasoning that mad me think thabeet wasn't gonna be a scrub. but he so much more skilled than theebs.

i like him. all-star at some point. but he might have a slow start.

249. "Dwight part two"
In response to Reply # 38


  

          

He won't beast initially but if you put him out there for 25-28 minutes he'll get 12-8 and fuck up on rotations every so often. I think he'll respond to technique coaches and I love that he's working with the navy seal dude that got Blake out of college. He's not looking for the Tim Grover skill-training. He's learning how to go hard and play ball with men. That tells me a lot. He'll never hit more than 60% of his fts but dude is going to be putting up 18-10 by year 3.

264. "a qualified endorsement"
In response to Reply # 38


  

          

he could definitely bust. percentage is probably above 50.

BUT, if you need a franchise player, why not roll the dice? no one has his potential, not even the brow.

i'd endorse the pick for any team without a clear #1 star in place, so that means everyone except cleveland and washington.

103. "Agree with all of this pretty much."
In response to Reply # 76


  

          

His wingspan and size put his ceiling higher than Austin's, even if I like Austin's attitude to potentially rise him above Lamb... only if Austin "gets it" and Lamb stays less aggressive.

But yeah. Easily the safest bet at the position. I've seen him become a MONSTER in games. If he turns it on and keeps it on? Someone's getting a big-ass steal here.

In response to Reply # 39


          

I didn't like what I saw from him this year though. He didn't have a game where he showed consistent effort and seemed too comfortable dribbling around the three point line and jacking up a shot instead of trying to penetrate and get a better look inside. I still like him better than Beal though. It'll be interesting to see where he ends up.

Would be the epic draft for us if we get him at #10.


See him as a bootleg Russy.

Aggressive. Attacking. Hungry. Needs to improve playmaking, but with his talent it should develop.

Great fit for us as long as he and Gordon can play together.

In response to Reply # 78
Thu May-31-12 03:45 PM by Basaglia

  

          

i dunno how many times i saw him penetrate and kick out or leave it for a big, but it was a lot. he did it enough that i stopped worrying about whether he was capable and instead chalked it up as a positive to his game.

he averaged just as many dimes as beal and more than lamb, so all that ballhog stuff is a cyse.

he needs to continue to improve finishing with his left, because he's gonna need to be way more creative around the basket. he can get there all day, but finishing is the key. if he finishes at the NBA level? 23+ ppg scorer...and league-leader potential.

yeah, i said it. people too scared to be real about this kid.

95. "A smaller Kobe, for better and worse."
In response to Reply # 78


  

          

He will create shots. He'll make crazy shots AND clutch shots. He will throw the team on his back. He is unafraid to be an asshole.

He'll miss crazy shots. He'll hog the ball. He'll get pissy if things aren't going his way. He is unafraid to be an asshole.

And I'd take him on my team in a heartbeat.

In response to Reply # 78


          

but he's not a natural playmaker, somewhere between Monta and Tyreke, he'll get his but can you win with him?

I don't see him ever being an All-Star 2 guard but I think he has the skill and pedigree to develop as a point if he wants to but I think in his mind he'd rather be Kobe than Deron.

In response to Reply # 78


  

          

With NBA hand check rules? Shit. He's gonna score, and he's gonna score in bunches at times. He'll put up assist numbers people won't realize at first, and still get criticized for shooting too much. And like Monta, several years into his career, we still won't be completely sure what he is.

164. "At player who can come in and score on the pro level from Day 1"
In response to Reply # 78


          

I don't think he'll have a Monta ceiling, cuz Monta is an elite athlete, but he'll have at least a Stuckey.

My floor for him is Jerryd Bayless. Not quite 1 and not quite a 2, but aggressive on the offensive end.

The best part about Austin is his assholery. And because of that and who his dad is, he can't be some bullshit.

He'll work hard and put in the time. And will obsess over that shit.

His ball handling will set him a part and he'll be able to get to the rim and draw contact. He should live at the line.

If any team needs points, I'd grab him.

181. "I still think he could/should play the point"
In response to Reply # 78


          

Like someone else said, he showed that he could create for others pretty often last year and has a ridiculous handle. If he's gonna play the 2, he'll need to learn out to keep moving once he's given the ball instead of stopping and allowing the defender to set his feet. He does that shit WAY too often. He'll also need to bulk up a bit and like basa said get better finishing with his left. I'm still waiting on him to get back to utilizing his mid range game more consistently. He did that really well in 10th and 11th grades but fell out of love with it. I think he'll be somewhere between a top tier 6th man (Harden/Terry) or a low level Kobe if he sticks as a 2. As a point, he'll be a bigger Steph Curry imo (not as good from deep but a more wiggle off the dribble).

sully got some slow feet, thus the booz comparisons are not good. booz always looked like a dancing bear, even when he was around 280 at duke.

good from the 3 either. He worked at it tho.

That is if he aint on that Sean May

love was one of the smartest HS players i ever saw. and he got a knack for knowing where the ball is coming off which is why he boards like that. and he can finish from funky ass angles. love is just a basketball player.

sully needs to pattern himself after milsap, booz, baby and bass.

all of them have/had more athletic ability than love and sully (outside of maybe baby). Sully got love's same lack of agility.

Love should be what he aims for and if he even gets half close it'd be an awsome career for him.

Natural curve he might end up between baby and milsap.

25% chance of donuts though...

Which Sully also does well. I actually agree that he could be a poor mans love (big man that can knock down the outside J and get you a bunch of boards). Obviously, Love brings more but that is where that poor mans part comes in.

dude is a coach's son..his basketball IQ is off the charts.

and he has plenty of touch, around the basket and from 12 to 20 feet away..

he can stroke the 3 too, not like Love but he isnt a liability at all from beyond the arc...

we'll see how much better he is once he gets on an NBA S&C program


but you're waaaaaaay off

People forget that Corliss had some pretty nice years in the pros. I think the key to his success is that he realizes his role and fills it and doesn't become like Big Baby, a guy who seems happier putting up good numbers on a bad team than being a useful role player on a winning one.

He improved his outside j from his frosh to soph yr and lost some weight. I'll expect him to continue to do both. If he does, and remains a beast on the glass, then he can get close to Love numbers imo. If not, he'll be a slightly taller/more skilled Blair.

201. "Love him, would like to see him as a Sixer next year but not sure"
In response to Reply # 113


  

          

it will work out that way in terms of where they're slotted at 15 (too early to grab him in the late first where he's slotted & won't be there in the mid-second) barring some trade movement.

Personally I think he would be worth the pick at 15 but you could probably trade & get him in the mid-20s.

But to me he's almost instantly better than say, Lavoy Allen (a nice surprise this year & an Owl to boot) will ever be.

Stuck playing with a crew of NoBonnies (sorry ma, y'all ain't had a player that mattered since you were cheerleading for Bob Lanier) so not many people saw him or those that did wrote him off for shit he wasn't really great at (like creating shot opportunities for bum teammates out of the post despite being a good passer) or other dumb things that didn't matter (like not coming out last year when he's a kid who wanted to finish his physics degree) but I see him as a solid/legit NBA starter at power forward.

Has an NBA body in terms of size/length/mobility, a legit post game as a collegian but a jumper in case he has trouble establishing that against pros in the early going, a great free-throw shooter for a big, highly intelligent, and he's a good shot blocker who will be able to work hard enough plus gain strength to guard NBA 4s down low but not sure how he'll fare in pick-n-roll.

I didn't pay attention to this kid for the early part of his career but between nagging from moms whose an alumnus to check him out along with some of the draft talk last year I've watched him in the last two years about as much as anyone would hope to see a kid from an upstate New York mid-major while living in Southern California.

This kid was easily the best player in the Atlantic-10 last season.

Singlehandedly ended St Joes at-large then later automatic-bid within about a week's span (gave em 32/14 the end of the regular season, then 25/10 right after) then turned right around to fuck up Xavier's chances of a decent seed by beating them in the final and won the A-10 for the first time in about 40 years.

Also was the reason they almost upset Florida State in the first round (hit & assisted on threes late to bring the game back to one-possession but their guard missed the shot at the end).

Dude will likely luck out & go to a good team based on draft projections, if San Antonio hadn't traded their pick I could have seen them grabbed the kid & had him contributing instantly by being what they wanted Dejuan Blair to be (or he could have given them a longer/taller Malik Rose with better offensive skill who could also step out for jumpers).

I'm on board with this one.

In response to Reply # 203


  

          

(like I've watched him go up then go up then bounce right back up again if he mistimes his jump or bites on a fake but then still makes the play).

I'm not sure he's got actual foot speed & quicks though for this level, which is why I was saying pick-and-roll could be a problem but I don't have evidence to really know one way or the other I'm more looking for what's keeping him from being a top-flight pro.

In response to Reply # 214


  

          

and feel like he was alright before Big Cuz was on his way but they don't really remind me of each other much at all.

Thompson was a center/forward project who had barely anything resembling a post move let alone the ability to hit a midrange jumper.

We'll see, 'thats the fun of the game'.

I hope he doesn't end up on the Celtics but for the opposite reason as you I guess.

But Nicholson is at best an end of the rotation guy in the league and very possibly a guy who rides pine and then has to head overseas. Since perimeter big men aren't that hard to swoop up so I'd rather use a first round pick on someone else.

Also, the C's basically just kind of drafted him in JuJuan Johnson and I have no interest in adding another lanky, perimeter based PF.

why is everybody looking for d-wade? you know how good d-wade was at this age? good enough to be 6-3.75 and be taken that high as a SG.

waiters is a role player. if he becomes a star, i dunno...like, why am i tryna predict who gonna be good...what do i know? is how i'mma feel for real.

AND he got the wing player with a weight problem steez? c'mon, man. he can't be a future star player.

i can see him having a stuckey dogg type run though and getting overpaid

Watching Wade in the tourney before he got drafted I KNEW dude was gonna blow up.

Dion reminds me of a bobby jackson/mario elie/ronald murray mash up.

Just a rugged, sturdy ass bench nigga/part-time starter than can cook up fast but he ain't gonna do a whole lot more than score.

I'd take a chance on him as a 13-20 pick.

Most top picks have an NBA ready skill: shooting, defense, rebounding, etc. Sure they can improve but they can step in and deliver that one element. I'm not sure Waiters really has one NBA ready skill.

screw it..all in. new york. I think he'll be a top 5

for st john's this season. just as skilled/talented
if not more than all the other sfs in the class.

if he stayed he woulda been lottery in 2013

He needs to work on his jumper to be most effective but I think he'll be a solid enough 5th starter or role player, strong help defender. I could see him busting like Brandan Wright but I think his commitment to the defensive end will keep him in the league.

Dude can be a useful role player but I'm not seeing him being a star. And there's a decent shot that he is a 10th man for his entire career like Brandan Wright.

he developed a nice 15 footer and a lil fade, but i don't see him gettin those shots off so easily and accurately against bigger guys.

not a "bust" in the classic sense, but he won't be much. could be a very solid role guy.

In response to Reply # 163


  

          

He'll have that Brandan Wright frame forever. At best he's a guy off the bench to block shots, play D, and grab boards-- but he'll need to bang more in the pros than he did in college, and with those skinny ass shoulders, I wonder if he can. He put on weight while at UNC and still looked like a fucking toothpick.

He could be as good as a smarter but smaller and skinnier Dalembert. Don't expect offense, but expect boards and disruptive D. Won't be a starter.

He could be a capable point guard but he needs to work on his shot, isn't up to 'Dre Miller or Mark Jackson, and probably will be a bigger minus on defense than he's a plus on offense.

He's a good passer but I need my point guards to at least be a threat to score or they won't be able get those same passing angles in the league. Anyone they actually compare to him has some advantage that helped them succeed: Andre Miller (slow and can't shoot but can actually score a bit with that post game and herky jerky moves), Rubio (ridiculous handles/plus defender/jury is still out anyway), Mark Jackson (post game/different era). Backup point guard who will be way overdrafted.

Ceiling: Tyreke Evans with J Kidd's vision/defense/rebounding. Floor: poor man's Tyreke (good off the dribble but not Tyreke and more turnovers).

I'm sticking to my guns on this dude. I think that he's one of those smart, hard working but emptional and immature dudes that will need the right environment to grow. I'm actually hoping he lands with Memphis. He'll get to sit without pressure for a few yrs and Hollins has done well with previous emotional guys (Zbo, Tony Allen). But Tony has to get better with his right hand, needs to develop that jumper A LOT and has to cut down on the turnovers and be happy with making the simple play when it's needed. He's a 6'5 athlete that can defend, rebound and see things on the court that not many other guards, pro or college can see. When he's attacking, he's hard to stop because of his movement off the dribble and his size/strenghth. Plus, dude is a fighter. He ain't afraid of shit. If he figures it all out, he'll be an elite pg in the league. It'll take time if it does happen though.

as he should. He needed to stick around another year and continue to develop. He could've played his way into next years top 10 and earn more money over those 3 yrs. Aww well.

194. "A less offensively gifted Beasley, but will play harder"
In response to Reply # 188


          

He's remarkably tough and athletic and is willing to get dirty and do the little things.

Once he stopped chucking for his shots in his freshman year, he became a solid player.

Plays great defense and rebounds well. Needs to work on his range and stop bringing his jumper from his left side to the right side of his face.

He can be a solid starter or a good bench player.

I think he'll put in the work.

In response to Reply # 188

You don't want him to start but he can handle it in a pinch.

You don't want to rely on him but he could come up big when he needs to.

For all the good he does, he might make some mistakes that hurt.

He might be seen as a disappointment for the team that drafts him but once expectations are where they should be, he'll be a nice role player.

205. "Their roles kind of are"
In response to Reply # 200


          

Bring defense, hit the open kickout shots when the star is doubled/collapsed on, be there on help defense, know your role.

That's what Jones will have to be able to bring. I think he's closer to Haslem than Pietrus but since he's a 'tweener, he kind of in the middle of those two (and I didn't feel like trying to think of a better example of a 'tweener at the time.)

210. "Josh Smith - freak athleticism + a bit more sanity"
In response to Reply # 188
Thu May-31-12 07:08 PM by MothershipConnection

  

          

I actually like his game a lot, he could be a steal for an uptempo team at the 4 spot. He's a bit of a flake, but shown the ability to reign it in, good finisher on offense, shoots well enough for teams to play him honest (but takes enough bad jumpers to drive a coach crazy). Defensively, he'll get pushed a bit by bigger 4s in the post, but should play the weakside well, and he's athletic enough that you could stick him on bigger 3s (Carmelo/Durant) to bother them. Basically a Josh Smith or young Kenyon Martin type minus some athleticism.

In response to Reply # 238


  

          

though if he can ever channel his competitiveness and shed his rep of being a "sleepy smooth" kinda player, he'll end up as the best SG from this draft and a 10 time all-star (barring injury).

he has the ability to lead the league in scoring multiple seasons.

everything depends on his hunger/desire.

Learning how to get his shot off on diff levels is his big issue. Of all the "tayshaun" comparisons I think this dude fits it best. Hella long, will bury a 3, quirky handle. Def a 15-5 type 3-4th option on a good team.

235. "My favorite of the recent UK pgs. "
In response to Reply # 218


          

Because he's tough and doesn't rattle. Plays like a Pitbull. He impressed Russy last summer. So the talent is there.

Don't know how good of a pro he'll be.

He'll be better than his brother.

The traits he has can make him a solid starter. But there are sooooo many good pgs in the league it might be hard for him to get a team within the first few years and might get discouraged.

He's strong, great handle, plays great defense. And great taking it to the rack and finishing.

If he gets a good coach that works with him, he can be a good one.

Wish we coulda done this for NFL prospects too (I guess we still can) but the draft is over + I don't care about the NFL like that.

Now hopefully none of these dudes that I praised gets busted for something crazy between now and the draft. You stay away from that girl, Terrence Jones.

He can start for a team that doesn't really have a center or be a great backup for a team that does.

His floor/ceiling is pretty narrow.

Operation, Make Basa Mad -- ACTIVATE!

http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/221416/Sources_Cavaliers_Expected_To_Take_Barnes_At_No_4

The Cavaliers are likely to select Harrison Barnes with the fourth overall selection if he remains available, according to sources.

"He's a pretty big deal to them," one such executive said.

Cleveland was known to be high on Barnes during the 2011 NBA Draft process before he elected to remain in school for his sophomore season.

please note that I am not claiming Harrison Barnes. I'll take some stock, sure, but he's not one of mine. He's gonna be a solid jump shooter who plays in the L for a while, and that's all.

All I'm claiming is that he's going to have a better career than Perry "Skinny Man's Tim Thomas" Jones.

Brilliant shooter. He'll always have a spot on a roster because of it. Quite possibly starter material for the right team. Never will be terribly athletic or fast, but that stroke is pure, and I love the character/work ethic. Someone'll get nice value for him at the end of the first.

NOPE! He's from Cuse!

Won't ever be more than a less offensively skilled Brenda Haywood Jr.

That having been said, if he actually does slip to end of the first/beginning of the second, you could do worse than a young big guy with that size. Could stick as an extra big to provide 5 fouls... but higher bust potential than most other bigs in the draft.

And I know going to class isn't a huge deal but I think it shows a lack of commitment. If you can't pretend to go to class to be able to play hoops, I'm not sure he's going to do all the work he needs to really be effective.

And then you realize that he's not even as good as guys like Chris Wilcox and you get Mark Blount with a ceiling of Brendan Haywood.

This guy's gonna give someone awesome value in the second round. If he gets that mid-ranger to consistently fall, that's a potential starter. Love the rebounding, love the work ethic. I buy this guy's stock as a second round, worst-case-scenario contributing bench PF that sticks.

Just needs to add some weight in his legs and chest. Already "strong" but needs some mass behind it. should top out at 190. Can't see him being bigger than that.

Next Rip Hamilton.

Dude is very confident in himself and loves to play ball.

Maybe I've been spurned by Memphis one too many times.

I thought CDR would be the next Rip.

I try to go with the teams with the most players and my favorites. Then trickle down.

Last year, I'd go Boston, Washington, Detroit, and Sac.

Then try to catch the Clippers, Houston, and Utah.

But now I gotta throw N.O. and Char into that first tier. And probably bump Houston up since they got 2.

I followed closest Battier, Booz, Deng, and, to a lesser extent, JJ. Then Kyrie, obviously.

Also, if any team has multiple Dukies, I tune in... the Bucks had two last year or the year before, and the Pacers in the past I've followed.

This year, it'll be Battier, Booz, Deng, Duhon, G Hill... and I kinda wonder if Brand/Dahntay and the Mavs will make a push. Rivers and Plumlee will be followed, for sure... and I'll definitely have to keep up with Kyrie, as he's the closest to an MVP level talent we have in the league right now, so watching him grow and hopefully help his team make a playoff push should be fun. And since JJ was my boy in college and he'll have another Dukie on the roster...

That's just a lot of teams to watch. I'll just have to do the best I can, I reckon.

It sucks balls that I'm leaving my current living situation, in which I have NBA TV in addition to full cable, to move to LA, where I'll have no cable or NBA TV. I'll probably have to beg one of my friends with NBA TV to hook me with the password to their internet stream, lol.

4 Good's

1 Good for popping off in the NCAA Tournament. Then being mad when he lost.

1 Good for keep talking about outplaying A.D. and not understanding why he was drafted ahead of him.

1 Good for keep talking about outplaying MKG and not understanding why he was drafted ahead of him.

1 More Good for getting out of T-Jones way on the depth chart.

I hope he sitting in a linen closet right now of his townhouse rocking in the fetal position hoping his Iphone battery drains so they stop calling about his whereabouts.

EDIT: without even reading the posts, or knowing who the poster is talking about, the following subject lines are cracking me up:

Meaner Iggy or full flowering of Tony Allen + size and brains
Fuck that. I'ma go all in. Pippen ceiling.
Somewhere between Ray Allen and Eric Gordon
This nigga is the next Wilt Chamberlain
a more fluid Paul Pierce
Man is he dumb
Jamaal Tinsley minus the Mel Mel the Abuser alter ego

Not shitting on anyone's predictions, b/c I wasn't in this post (don't follow college ball like that), but this is a comedy goldmine.

What? the only one I was really off on was Anthony Davis, he's a way better offensive player than I thought he'd be, everything else I said is pretty on point. The dudes you listed above have way more L's in here than me.
