Following potential 2013 draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
Nah, just one and sign a veteran FA who is good enough to be a backup.
Best player on a top 10 team and puts up stats against competition.
Has shown vast shooting improvement from Freshman to Sophomore year.
Yep, he sucks.

Shabazz with another 27 point game against #7 Missouri. He had 7 of UCLA's 9 points in OT. He got off to a slow start (though, not as slow as people make it sound like), but he's really coming alive as of late. He's averaging about 20 PPG, not to mention UCLA should be ranked after tonight's win. The race to the #1 pick is on.

I watched him against UCLA earlier in the season and was pretty impressed.
Whoa, McCollum? Why?
Also only had 1 rebound and 1 assist.

I wrote the biggest post ever on that, I'm not going into it again lol.

Yeah, there's a lot to be desired from him as a passer. He's usually a very good rebounder, though.
Since you could find it faster than I could, maybe you could at least direct me to it?
Once conference play starts I will start paying more attention to College Ball and will have a better idea about these dudes.

I'll look for it.
Lillard's success is quite the anomaly (seniors rarely storm to the top of ROTY discussions, the same goes for coming from a small school). Being driven to grab the "next Lillard" 30 games into his career, and being such an anomaly, seems pretty knee-jerk to me.
That's all.
That's all.

With the success of not only Lillard, but guys like Curry and Lin etc. I think NBA teams are more willing to give small school players the benefit of the doubt. At any rate, I think his success against big schools helps dispel the small school argument.
When it comes to McCollum, I think it's more worth discussing his ability to play PG in the NBA than his level of competition.
Ability is totally reliant on the level of difficulty. His ability to play PG has yet to be vetted to most people's liking.

The "etc" for me is George Hill. If McCollum can play some decent defense and open the floor up with his shot he would be the best choice for PG in the draft.
George Hill would be helping the Jazz immensely right now if he was playing for them.
There are some okay PG prospects. I'm sticking to my guns from 2010 .. no one real good until '14. (obviously didn't see Lillard coming on back then .. so missed him, for sure)

In my original post on 'Bazz I stated I wanted to see if he could become a team player, more than just simply a scorer. I had no doubt he could score. I compared him to Jodie Meeks (in college) who led the nation in PPG but got no rebounds, assists, etc.. (didn't really help the team win games other than putting up points)
Bazz will be very good, no matter, but his level of greatness will depend on how much he embraces 'team' and I think the jury is still out on that one.
