If POR wins the lotto and I'm Anthony Davis, I'm going back to UK for soph year or covering myself in bubble wrap for a long, long time.


LOL

It great that we may have a really high pick this now but it sucks that as deep as this draft is this year it isnt really deep for great PG's.

Always draft best available. Especially in the lottery!
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Sullinger or Beal could be available with this pick.

Nice!
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Our deal today motivated me to look at the prospects. Of the bigs, the only one who seems to have great physical tools and energy is Thomas Robinson but he is projected at #3 so forget that. To me, Henson, who is projected at #9 might be a good choice; already great defensively and as a rebounder and might still have the potential offensively.
Shooting guards, well not sure why Beal is rated so high, he's not shooting so well, especially from three point. Lamb seems weak and not intense enough.
Actually my two favorites should be available, Henson and Damian Lillard but if we could luck out and get #4 with the NJ pick, I would sure try to trade up for Robinson.
I'm not interested in Sullinger or Zeller for lack of upside and Drummond and either of the Jones' for lack of intensity.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

BUMP! Who we taking?
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

We're 3.5 games out of the eighth spot. NJ is 4.5 games away. Better stay that way or get worse. I want two lotto picks.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

We want them to stay close to where they are..... 4 or 5 range..... we don't want them to improve their chances at winning a top 3 spot and we don't want them to fall further in the lottery.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

I wouldn't mind them winning a few more games actually. Right now, they have a 30% chance of moving to top 3 from the 5th worst record.

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

I'm not impressed with this Kevin Jones kid for West Virginia. He's listed as a late 1st. I just don't see it. Ugly jumper, big wide body, but gets out hustled.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Perry Jones has me worried. I had Baylor going to Elite 8.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Lamb and Drummond look like shit right now.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Agreed. I really liked how Terrence Jones looked, but am terrified he'll turn out to be a tweener who has an exceptional tourney then becomes Tyrus Thomas.

Perry Jones just doesn't have "it".

It seems like that sentiment has been echoed about a lot of the prospects in this draft, which is why I said a while ago it had become overrated.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

To me, Austin Rivers has it written all over him. As does Anthony Davis.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

if we somehow get lamb and robinson i will fucking piss myself with giddy joy
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

I think the draft is a little overrated this year too
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Sullinger and Lamb would be nice. There's issues with both, but I think Sullinger could be Love type and Lamb has the tools to be a great 2nd option in time.

Beal is young and has been comin on as of late but I think he's too similar to Batum as he doesn't really show much advanced scoring moves. Lamb is also like Batum in that he's too passive, but I think he complements him better skill wise. And I think Thomas Robinson doesn't fit as well with Aldridge as Sullinger does while also being more easily attainable. Both aren't ideal though.

He's from Portland though, he has that going for him.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

TNT broadcast just said that one of Sullingers' legs is shorter than the other.

Probably crosses him off Portlands' big board.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Fuckin UConn costing me a perfect bracket today.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Wooo, Drummond just played himself into another year at UCONN or a lower draft pick.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Wonder how much this hurts Drummond and Lamb...
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Chad Ford ‏ @chadfordinsider

NJ source on why they traded their pick to POR Top 3 protected: Only 3 players they loved: Anthony Davis, MKG and Thomas Robinson. I think he might be right … after that, there's talent … but it's risky talent.

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Drummond looks a long way away from tapping into his potential. His play yesterday will either drop him out of the top-3 or he goes back to school.

Being the same size and similar athletic ability at the same age, Oden he is not.

The only plus I saw out of him was that he really jams up the paint and makes guys think twice about driving the lane. He's definitely a project. Its whether you want to wait 3 or 4 years.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Rivers didn't help his draft status today. He looked like a ballhog and forced a lot of stuff. Doc should tell him to go back to school for another year.

Thomas Robinson looked like a beast as usual while he was getting double-teamed all night.
