Lol. Jackson will shut down whoever he's guarding, and Mason will light up Pritchard.

Hell, I've played against Pritchard and our PG lit him up.

Man this draft is so deep. I feel like you can't go wrong with a few guys at the #1 pick. Obviously there is going to be a best player out of the draft class, but it's not as clear as it has been in certain years. JJ has franchise changing championship potential for a ceiling.

I think we should be hoping for Lonzo ball to land in LA because while he should be a good player, he's not "Dyn-o-mite" like JJ. Imagine if Boston drafted JJ... They would control the east. Cavs have made some questionable moves this season to try and stay on pace with the Dubs. Boston already on their heals and if they added JJ they would be insane. Bostons situation is fantastic. There aren't many situations better than what we have right now with our picks and youngest roster in the league, but Boston is definitely one of them with their current contender roster and first overall pick in a stacked draft.

I agree with your whole post.

I see Ball as a potential bust because
1.) He might not have the quickness to get by NBA players. He relies on this for creating shots for himself and others.
2.) He could be an average NBA shooter who struggles to get his shot off against guys like Aminu.

3.) His dad will sabotage his career
 
Jordan Bell joins some pretty good company. Only the 7th player to get 12+ rebounds in 4 straight tournament games in 32 years.
The others: Larry Johnson, Shaq, McDyess, Duncan, Madsen, Emeka Okafor, and Blake Griffin.

All but Madsen were the 1st or 2nd pick in the draft.

I would punch that dude right in the mouth. What a complete bitch. The last one was by far the worst and he complained the most about it. Like he has ANY room to complain.

Would you agree, of the remaining teams, South Carolina has the best defense in the tournament.

I'm on the Jordan Bell bandwagon...TRob with a brain...love his play
 
Ball's defense is very unimpressive for a guy of his size and ability. He makes plays but he makes them the way Curry does. By playing almost a free safety type D where he sags on everything and try's to ball hawk and/or clog the lane.

It's too bad we won't be able to see Gonzaga/Arizona now. That's the matchup I was most looking forward to watching.
 
Sometimes when I see Calipari laugh I wonder what would have happened if they had let John Chaney at him in that press conference. He was an old man but I bet he could have blackened his eye and loosened a few teeth. I'm sure Memphis fans would like to know as well.
 
DA Fox is seriously so Rondo that it blows my mind. It must be the system...
 
Lonzo Ball's official nickname from this day forth is Mr. Gumby.

Yup oh boy here we go.

This draft is so deep. We should try to move up into the top 5. You can't go wrong!

If we can't get quality from any our three picks we should fire our entire scouting department. Look at what Denver has done and that organization one of the cheapest, most absentee owner in sports. Yes, it's a crapshoot but you can find value with the kind of picks we have.
