Following potential 2012 draftees

Ok how is this for a comparison, MKG with a more consistent jump shot = a more athletic Shane Battier. I'd take that kind of player every day.
 
Mkg is a product of calapri roll the ball out and watch system. He hustles but as a pro i see role player. No jumper will kill in the league where everyone is just as athletic as him.
 
Today I played the Lottery Mock Draft on ESPN. In 4 tries the Jazz landed Lillard and Leonard twice, another time GSW landed Davis and the Jazz landed Lillard and the last time the Jazz landed both Davis and Lillard. I would say that is a good way to start the day.

I want to jump on the Lillard bandwagon, it's just hard for me to do that without seeing him ever play live, or against actual competition. Is it looking like he'll be in the tournament?

Last I saw they were projected as a 15 seed against Kansas on ESPN, a few days ago.

As long as he's in the tourney, I'll be happy. Even if it's as a last seed.

I'm not opposed to Lillard but I want to see what he can do in the tournament. I have no allegiance to Rivers but right now he looks like the best PG prospect to me.
 
I'm glad people are coming around to the idea of Lillard as a legit PG. I've had a chance to watch him and he is very comfortable in his own skin. I did not have a chance to watch him before the season, but from what I've seen it looks good.

It's the way he limits the turnovers that is the most promising. His shot is fast, but blockable with taller defenders. he will have to adjust in the nba, but so will Rivers and Marshall
 
Weber State making the tournament is all based on whether they win their conference or not, so you just have to hope that some team doesn't go on a random hot streak against them.

I definitely think that Lillard is a legit NBA PG. He's a great shooter however he has a low release point which is scary...but he does have a very quick release which helps him out. Athletic, good handles, seems to be a pretty good defender, much like Rivers, he's asked to be the scorer on that team so it's hard to see how much he could create for others if asked to. As of right now, he's pretty close to Rivers in the PG debate that I'm having in my head...I wouldn't be mad with either of them.

Ok then smart guy what kind of offense does cal run?

Iso thats what i thought. He is a piss poor coach but a hell of a recruiter. With those team he gets you or i could go coach em to the final 4. His teams are piss poor free throw shooters also. Remember the kansas vs memphis title game? Of course you dont cuz its been taken off the official record book just like cals umass final 4 team
 
I may not be correct, but I believe Calipari mainly runs the "dribble-drive" with a form of the motion offense in there as well.
 
Here's a bunch of highlights from Lillard's freshman year. I'm starting to warm up to the idea of drafting him.

Need I truly take the time to answer this? Need I take up pages of NBA personnel that applaud the Calipari system and how it helps prepare players for the NBA? How Cal prepares players better than any other coach for the NBA? Or could you just google it? Let me know ... but try not be a child.
 
Lillard looks like he can really shoot and he has the kick out pass down but I didn't see too many pick and roll. I admit I only watched about 5 minutes of the mix. Is there any recent footage to compare against the freshmen mix?

Most his players are nba ready the minute they step on campus. Josh harrelson is thwe 1 that pops upo that wasnt but A he wasnt cals recruit adn B cal didnt even wanna play the kid. Rose. nba ready
Wall.Nba ready
Cousins.Nba ready
Knight .Nba ready
Get the drift?

If cals such a great coach why did he FAIL in the nba? If the 1 and done rule wasnt in place none of these guys would of even played college ball. Or you wanna disagree with that?
