2011 draft.....

Nobody knows. If we all for certain how these players would turn out then we wouldn't be having this discussion. This is just my opinion. And my opinion is that he's showing far more skills than Jefferson did at the same age and that in time, he will be a better player than Jefferson. Hell, you probably said the same thing about Kevin Love. About the same height, average athletically, why would he be better?

Is Kevin Love better than Al Jefferson as a center? I would say they are pretty equal.
 
He also shot 37% from 3 point land as a Freshman, I wouldnt call that terrible shooting.

Seriously....did you watch him play at all? Most of his shots from 3 point land were wide open looks. So yes, 37% from 3 on very open looks is bad shooting. Don't forget to point out his 41% shooting from 2 and his 69% shooting from the line. Not good shooting percentages.
 
Do you know who Ed Cota is? I believe he has some records at UNC and in the ACC....might wanna check them. He had pretty damn good vision too.

Ed Cota never even got drafted. I guarantee if Marshall came out he would be at least a early 2nd round pick.
 
I see him as a PG who is going to really develop his game in school, probably come out as a Junior or Senior, and be very polished. I think he could be a good starting NBA PG,maybe not great, but someone who can facilitate an offense.

He shredded some teenage camp, right? He might be the real deal, but I'm guessing Darko punished those same camps. If we draft him, I just hope KOC has really done the homework.
 
He's a taller version of Ed Cota. And he would have to make drastic improvements to his game to be even an average starter. Maybe he will, but from what I've seen right now, I don't think he does.

I am a Carolina fan forever and firmly believe Marshall will be much better than Cota!

Right now it may very well be (especially with Sullinger and perhaps Barnes staying in school) that there are only a couple of sure fired NBA stars in this draft so pretty much anybody else is a gamble. Of around the 6 possilbe intl players in the lotter I definitely think at least 1 is going to be a star so gotta consider drafting one of them.
 
Come on Sacramento catch the nets! Sacramento Kings wins 22 losses 54 vs. New Jersey Nets 23 wins vs. 53 losses. Man I would like to get the 5th pick.

funny thing about the Draft Lottery...

somehow, BOTH the 5th AND 6th worst teams have the highest chance of ending up with the 6th pick (36% and 43.9% respectively). weird, eh?

however, moving "up" to 5th would improve our chances to move into the top three from 21.5% to 29.2% (if i computed that correctly).

Tell me why! Don't just make blanket statements. Use some stats, or personal experience from watching them to make your point. So tell me why Marshall is better than Cota. I'm eagerly waiting your response.

Because Marshall is the man!
 
I heard that John Henson and Tyler Zeller are staying in school. I sure hope that Harrison Barnes goes in the draft just to give this draft some depth.
