Why would ANYONE want to play for Wisconsin or UCLA (*wink*)?? Terrible.
I agree with this year's PG's. Someone may emerge best, but I feel none will be elite.

Craft is not ready for the NBA and if he is smart(which he is) should stay through his senior year. Craft, who is essentially a slightly less talented Mike Conley, needs to work on his offensive game - finishing at the rim and Mid to 3 point shot. As a defender he's got quick feet, ultra-quick hands and great anticipation. He averages 3.1 steals but seems like his hands are in the middle of more plays.
Solid assessment. Agree completely.
No. I'm saying these are the two guys the talking heads are calling the best of the best in college bb .. and it's bleak. I wouldn't pick either top 20 in the next draft. Teague is the best and he's an NBA back-up.
This is why I've been in on the Rondo talk.
Agree .. same for Marshall.
Does anyone know anything about this Scott Machado kid from Iona?
If he can keep up what he's done so far this year he will definitely be on my wish list for the draft.

I'm just looking at stats, I haven't seen any video of his game.

I think there's a 40% chance that if the Jazz get at least one lottery pick this year, the new guy will be playing this Saturday at 10:00 MST on CBS.
I think everyone would agree that our biggest need going into the draft would be a future PG (I'm fine w/ Harris for the next two years), however for the first time in years the PG class looks rather bleak, although things could change and players could emerge. I think the next biggest need would be a swingman. Having said that here's Margo's current draft board:
1. Anthony Davis - no surprise here. I know he's slated as a PF, but he looks more than capable of being a slashing 3 who can also knock down 20 footers. Plus who wouldn't like a starting front line with an average height of 6'11?
2. Black Falcon - I think he was a bit overhyped coming out of HS, but he's very smooth and has great range which is an area that the Jazz need to look to improve
3. Drummond - I know he's another PF/C, but I'm not sure he's a guy you pass on if he's available
4. Kidd-Gilchrist - 2nd best SF on the board. Doesn't seem to be elite at any one thing, but appears to be very good at everything
5. PJIII - Baylor's loves their "the Thirds". He's a more athletic, but less effective Davis. People also say he's a PF, but he appears to be a SG in a PF body. He has a decent but not great jumpshot, which if he improves (and he's got all the mechanics to do so) then I think he'd be a stud SF and once again he would fulfill my dream of a gigantic frontcourt.
6. Rivers & Teague (Tie) - Teague is probably the best PG on the board, which isn't saying much. Granted he's struggled out of the gate, but I think by the end of the year he'll show that he's the top PG. I'd also be happy with Rivers who I see in the same boat as Drummond -- he doesn't fill a need necessarily (as he's not a true PG), but he doesn't look like a guy you should pass on
7. T. Jones - Ever wondered how CJ'd be if he were 6'9" 240? Guy has all the abilities one could want, but he's got some really immature body language. On the right team I think he'd be great, but put him in a bad situation and look out.

I think a lot of scouts are going to start to look at Cody Zeller now. Finally saw a little bit of him against NC State. Looked very good. Of course he has a lot of bulking up to do though. Most scouts think he will be better than Tyler. Not a position of need now, but if he stays another two-three years and Millsap and Jefferson are gone a guy to look out for.

I've heard about Cody, but I'm yet to see him. Does he remind you of anyone in particular?
Tyler Zeller
, but much more along and a little better athlete and Tyler is not bad himself. When you see him it is pretty clear he needs to bulk up a lot so for that reason alone I think he will stay at least another year or two.
I hate Tyler Zeller.
Did you watch him in the NCAA tournament last year. Admittedly he is off to a slow start this year.
I doubt it's anything specific. Cy just hates anyone not named Marshall, QMIiller, Hopson, and Hood.
jk, cy
