Drummond looks good... but man I'm skeptical of drafting bigs. Fool me once, shame on you.... fool me twice...... shame on me. Fool me three times..... fuck.

Drummond looks like a project to me. 29% FT shooting? Yuck...

Huh? Hes looked utterly mediocre whenever I've seen him. I'm not quite sure how hes rebuilt his draft stock since his team was eliminated. Hes a great physical specimen and could be a useful player down the line but no way in hell I take him over Robinson, unless Robinson measures out very tiny.

OTOH DeAndre Jordan and Derrick Favors could be helping his stock. They were also highly touted prospects who did little to impress in college but have managed to do well in the league based on physical tools.

IMO Davis, MKG, and Robinson are the clear cut top 3, then you've got a tier with Drummond, Beal, Barnes, Sullinger, and after that its difficult to differentiate talent much.

According to Draftexpress Robinson measured 6'10" w/shoes with a 7'1" wingspan. Roughly the same size as Blake Griffin.

Same height, longer reach than Blake Griffin.
I am interested to see official measurements at the camp for a lot of these guys, though. Robinson, Beal, Davis.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

BG is my NBA comparison for Robinson.

I don't know where Draftexpress gets those numbers. They always change once the player declares and goes to the NBA pre-draft camp.

i think they usually get them from various camps. The Amare stoudamire skills camp, I think, is one.

Thanks for the info. I just think them to not be completely accurate because they always seem to change once the NBA gets involved. If Thomas Robinson really is 6'10" in shoes and has a 7'1" wingspan, I'll be shocked. He looks more like 6'7" in shoes on the court. If he's that size, then there should be a strong debate about taking Robinson or Davis. I just don't believe he's that size.

There's no debate either way. Davis is two years younger and already a game changer on defense. Robinson is slightly ahead on offense but has a lower ceiling on that side of the court.

There's always debate, but as I said, I don't believe Robinson's measurements at all. If they're accurate, he'll be a sure-fire beast in the NBA with his body and would be strongly considered as a #1 pick who could produce immediately. If they're not, he's Corliss Williamson, but a little more explosive, which happens to be the side I'm closer to believing right now.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Everyone seems to be super excited about Flynn, but I couldn't care less for the guy. I really hope we take Kendall Marshall with our own pick.

I like Marshall too, but Flynn could be a cheap and long term backup.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

If Fez had his way:

#1: Trade up for Drummond
#2: Hire Kareem Abdul-Jabar

Bam!

So how much less could you actually care? Are you close to bottoming out or is there a ways to go?

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Would you guys be upset if we took Marshall with our pick, and John Henson, Jared Sullinger or Harrison Barnes with the Nets pick?

I like Kendall Marshall quite a bit ... out of those other guys you mention, I'm not a big Harrison Barnes fan, and I'm a little bit leery of Sullinger (oh look another Ohio State Center with two legs different lengths) and I don't know if Henson is really a worthy top 7 pick.

I'd probably pick Drummond if he was still available.

I'd be okay with Marshall.

Of all the guys we could pick with the Nets pick, Sullinger is probably the safest pick. I can't imagine any scenario where he's not a productive NBA starter. Something like Big Al or Millsap earlier in their careers. I don't like how he fits on the roster though, since we need a defensive big more than we need an offensive one. I'd be pissed if we took Barnes. One dimensional role player waiting to happen. I'd try to trade up for TRob, or draft Cody Zeller if he comes out.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

The prospects that will be available with the #4 pick and on couldn't be any more unimpressive to me
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

I'm not opposed to Kendall Marshall. He sounds a little bit like Andre Miller coming out of Utah.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Fab Melo hired an agent -- huge mistake.

When I watch him play I see the current Nazr Mohammed.

Renardo Sydney also declared. I'm pretty sure his character will check out with GM's.

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Its too bad Sidney's such a knucklehead because he's a great talent.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Mike Moser announced he's coming back to UNLV.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Lillard is generating a lot of buzz lately. Some analyst called him "D-Wade Jr."

Ranks #2 in PER just behind Anthony Davis.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

I like Lillard, but think he should focus on being a PG.
 
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

Kidd-Gilchrist just took a nasty fall!
