Following potential 2013 draftees

Thank you.

Like I've said multiple times before, you can't blame it on the team, either .. as McKnight manages to get 5+ assists per night and shoots it well himself.

I'm not saying McCollum is a good passer, but one possible reason McKnight averages more assists is because he plays with the one player McCollum doesn't--McCollum.
 
I also want to throw out Dario saric again. Is suppose to be the second best passer behind McW. Has a decent shot that will get better. He is also one I am watching closely

How did I miss this? I do like him as a great mismatch off the bench.

I get your logic.. but it's flawed for McCollum. 71% of McKnight's assists go to post men .. vs. 42% of McCollums..
 
who's that?

He's the Johnny Manziel of high school basketball, only not as good.

Westermann is a very intriguing prospect. I love how much he lives to make the pass. I also like that he's engaged in playing good D even if he's not good at it. You can work with someone that buys in and doesn't really have the talent versus the inverse.

I was thinking the same thing.

I don't know anything about him. I may ask about him next opportunity.
 
PKM,

Let's say we end up with, for argument's sake, the 8th pick in the 2014 draft. Would that pick, Favors, Kanter, Hayward and Burks be enough to land the #1 pick and therefore Wiggins?

Based on what I saw in that video, I'd say no.

Would you do that trade? I would.

P.S.--let's say we got lucky in the lotto again and ended up with the 3rd pick. Would that and those four guys be enough? And would you do it?
 
Whether he is starter material or not, Trey Burke goes top 10 in this draft. He is just getting stronger and more confident every game - showcasing scoring, passing and leadership while taking care of the ball. He's really doing everything out there while showcasing his teammates at the same time. People are just starting to take notice and I see it escalating from here because Michigan doesn't seem to be slowing down.

Seeing the Jazz need both a starter and a backup at pg, I hope we get him. He's a true point guard that can shoot and I see him fitting in perfectly alongside Burks, Hayward, Favors, Kanter. However, this is one situation where I would like to see him play for a year (or two) under a veteran point guard (depending who it is) and learn a few tricks, and get a little more mature before taking over.

On a side note, Glenn Robinson III is the real deal. He can score every which way. Look for him to shine next year after Burke and Hardaway move on.

It's one of those things that is too much being given yet still not enough. With the 3rd pick, it may fly .. There are some real studs in those top 3 - 5.
Honestly, I'd be willing to completely blow up a mediocre team to build around a Kobe/Durant type talent .. so yeah, as much and as crazy as it would be, yes.
