What's new

Following potential 2013 draftees

Um..... No.

I doubt we can get a top ten pick in next years loaded draft by trading al, or Millsap, and a pick likely to be low to mid 20's. We'd have to also throw in Favorsor Kanter or Hayward

sorry. My Turd is bigger then yours.

under that plan I would think that team is better then this years vet heavy team


so you'd keep Marvin over Carroll?


Not necessarily. I just expect Marvin to opt-in for $7.5M next season.
 
FWIW, I think the jazz try to bring back Mo and Demarre. I think they'd re-sign Millsap too, but it depends on the deal, and he might not take it regardless.
 
PKM, where would you take Archie? His upside seems greater than where he's pegged to go right now.

He has great upside. Scouts use Westbrook as the most common comp.
Having said that, Calipari is the master motivator, yet is calling Archie 'uncoachable.'
Calipari shoots straight, so it's reason for concern.

Because of that, I'd probably pass on Archie until the 15 area .. And roll the dice that he grows from his youth.
 
I'm watching a bit of the Texas/Kansas game. Myck Kabongo isn't having an impact. He plays small and hasn't hit a shot yet.

Based on what little I've seen, I like BJ Young more.

I would agree. Kabongo needs another season. Man, Texas is all kinds of awful.
 
ok don't want o go back and do the hole quote thing but here are my random thoughts

- right now we have 2 picks in this years draft. if the trade for a pick next year great but until then I want to look at who we can get this year.

- as far as al and Paul letting them walk works but I would only trade for young talent or picks no long term aged vets.

- as far as who I would re-sign I think foye is right up there as long as he isn't a started great man to have coming off the bench. Carroll he will come cheap and is a great energy guy off your bench. he should have Evans contract. mo Williams I am at the wait and see. he is to injured to give to much.

- I am still hoping for a pg (Burke, McW, smart, McCullum) and a wing (poythress, saric, gr3) then BPA in the second.

building blocks

pg - Burke
sg- burks, foye
sf - Hayward, saric, Carroll
pf - favors
c - kanter

poythress is dropping he might be had in late teens. then cj McCullum would be a good pick up. saric is good because he could be left over seas for a year or 2.
 
Just watched some of DX's McCollum scouting video. 49% on jumpers off the dribble? Better than 50% coming off screens? Yikes.

He only played 12 games this year. Broke a bone in his foot likely ending his season. Not sure if you knew. I didn't til just reading up on him now.

Yep agree completely. I'd be happy with Burke & GR3/Poythress.

Yup. Jones fracture...broke his fifth metatarsal. However, there's a small chance he comes back. Either way, it's not likely to impact his draft stock much. It's a common injury that rarely has any long-term effects.
 
Seems like a decent game from Burke and Robinson III today, I didn't get to see it though.

Burke with 29pt, 5ast, 0TO, 2stl, 3-4 from 3's and 8-9 FTs. GR3 with 21pt, 10reb, 6-6 from field and 9-11 FTs. OK it was vs Penn State, but still a solid performance.
 
Well, anything new?

B.J. Young hit a game winner against Missouri yesterday, watched the whole game he played really well 18 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds. Also controlled the game the way you want a point guard too, also everyone knew he was gonna take the last shot. Kelly Olynyk had 26 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks in a win over San Francisco, didn't watch the game but those are pretty impressive numbers. Young wouldn't be a bad value pick at around #21 or #22 (right where he is projected) and Olynyk wouldn't be a bad value pick at #17 or #18 (right where he is projected), that is all.

Watched Burke in full today (I always try to catch atleast part of his games). Impressed w/how he grinded...UM came out flat and a woefully over-matched Penn State team made it a physical game early. Burke didn't panic, and like alot of great PG's kept trying to set up his teammates but when that wasn't there he looked for his offense.
14&1 in a 32-point UM 1st-half, 15&4 in a 47-point UM 2nd-half. Due to the talent disparity I don't take as much away w/the numbers but I do like the poise and consistency Burke showed (UM trailed most of the 1st-half). That's the sort of thing that you can't quantify in PG's.

Incredibly good post. Love the understanding of pace.
