Ford is actually pretty good. He got carried away with Milicic an eon ago, but is usually pretty accurate. Working for ESPN gives him the ability to talk to GMs and scouts that a lot of other smaller sites are not able to.

Why change it before the draft when you can change it years after?
So we've just signed Bryce Cotton who played for Providence...
Kris Dunn is playing from Providence...
????? Are you guys reading between the lines????????

It has nothing to do with that bro, it doesn't matter where he went to college.
Dunn has 131 turnovers on the year, good enough for 2nd in the whole country. He's averaging 4.1 a game, no thanks.
He's also second in assists and second in apg and ast/36. I don't worry too much about the TOs... he's trying to make plays and sometimes threads the needle and passes in tight spaces. Young PGs make TOs, with practice and experience that usually improves significantly.
Reminds me too much of MCW and Elfrid Payton. If that is the type of player we want then cool.
Dunn is shooting 33% from three & 69% from the line.
Payton shot 27% from three & 61% from the line for his career.
MCW shot 31% from three & 69% from the line for his career.
That translates to the NBA:
MCW is 25% from three & 70% from the line in 120 career games.
Payton is 24% from three & 52% from the line in 68 career games.
Dunn actually shoots close to 35% from 3 this year. Dunn's shot looks much better than MCW and Payton's. I actually was surprised he shoots only 69% from the line.
Both MCW and Payton shot under 30% when given more than 1 shot per game in college. Dunn actually raised his % when given more shot attempts.
With that said, I don't expect him to be a shooter of the Curry type, but it would be nice if he can hit the 3 at 35% in the NBA.

He hasn't been remotely accurate the last few years. And was busted for going back and changing his mocks in the archives about a month ago, how lame is that?

Jeremy Lin for his career is 34.7% from three & 79.7% from the line in 281 games (26.9 mpg). Plus he's only 26 - three years older than MCW and five years older than Payton, but seven years older than Exum. He's the kind of young vet that the team should target. Think he'd be a great fit for what QS likes to do with the P&R too. I'm not really enamored with any of the PGs in this year's draft.

The thing with Ford is he has friends in organizations and I feel they use him to spread their smokescreens.
Apples and Oranges.
Ford and Givony are analysts.
Woj is a reporter and columnist. He also sucks up to certain agents, gms etc. big time to get his intel.
Biggest discrepancies between ESPN and DX this year seems to be Stanley Johnson and Looney. DX has Johnson at #5, Ford has him at #12. DX has Looney at #14, Ford has him at #6.
One of them has to be right while the other completely wrong.

Or they are both part right (both go around 5-6 or both go 11-13) or they go 8-10. It is possible for middle ground.

Or they could both be wrong?
Well take Johnson, DX says around #5 but Ford says around #12.
Both being wrong would be Johnson either going top #4 or out of the lottery all together.
What if he goes 9? Which one is right then?
