Following potential 2013 draftees

Name me one player who shoots 50% from the FT line who is a good shooter.

1 thing remains extremely constant across all levels of basketball, the FT line is 15 feet away from the goal and no one guards you while you shoot them.

I said the ft % scared me but I think he will improve on that and I never said he was a dead eye shooter. If he still can't hit an ft at a better rate in workouts then I'll sower on him as well, but I'm sure he will be made to prove himself a better ft shooter in workouts
 
Comparing Hayward to Karasev, I'd say Karasev is the more talented shooter. Being a shooter is probably his role, and other stuff is added value. Hayward is a facilitator who can shoot well from time to time. I don't think they're redundant.
 
I still like Goodwin and would take a long look at 21. I still think he has the talent to be a Latrell Sprewell or James Harden caliber player. I love the raw talent.
 
I don't like the name Greek Freak as a nickname. I think it's cheesy and not very respectful. It would be like calling Kevin Durant the Texas Freak. I get that Greek Freak rhymes and all, kinda like The Great Grape Ape. But why not just call him Giannis?

The 50% ft shooting does bother me a lot but as far as the other shooting stats go, he does have some shooting skills and he's young with some floor skills as I've read about him. I think he has some upside, and think he will improve as he gets older and gets used to the speed of the game. Didn't Hayward shoot under 30% from three his last year at Butler, and I don't think he's shot under 40% from three at the nba level. My gut tells me he will be better then the guys that will probably be there at pick 21.

Faulty argument on Hayward. He showed his first year of college that he could shoot, and a players shooting touch doesn't just go away.

Saric is terrible. I don't see how people can watch his film and come away impressed, I think he sucks. Can't shoot and he's even worse on defense.

Doug McDermott latest to announce he's skipping this year's NBA Draft



Chad Ford @chadfordinsider about 23 minutes ago
Key players left on the undecided list include: Shane Larkin, Isaiah Austin, Adreian Payne, Ray McCallum, Andre Roberson. Deadline 4/28

I thought Austin was a done deal, guess not.
Man this draft is so thin. Why are so many going back to school when they have a chance to be first round gauranteed money? It doesn't make sense to me. Next year is supposed to be loaded.

Maybe many of them will stay in school next year--there goes the Tank for Jabari Jazz plan.

Stop messing with my head!
 
Kid wants to keep playing for his dad. Cute.

At least that's how I see it. He doesn't seem like a dip **** and he's got to know he can only hurt his draft stock (next year) by doing this.
