Following potential 2013 draftees

[The Midnight]

This ain't a spelling bee.

I was serious. He can be a mental backbone for our team on the defensive end.

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Why isn't Schroeder on your 'upside' list?

That's a shocking omission.

Yes, I like Schroeder. I think he could play right now and do what Norris Cole does. Down the road, he could play a bit like Rondo, but he needs to develop more craftiness with the ball and the ability to finish in the paint. He could be a starter, but likely not a Top 10 PG.

Muh bad. Didn't know u were being srs.

 

[The Midnight]

Oh I know bro I wasn't saying you said that just warning people before they start spouting off players they like for that position because I like the thinking that we do need one or two of these players out of this draft if we can't trade up to get McCollum. One wing that can do all you descrided and a 3rd big that can play 25+ minutes and if we can somehow get McCollum because I would prefer a vet that can play behind Favors and Kanter and get young wing in this draft.

Interestingly this Spurs team had:

- French
- Brazilian
- Argentinean
- Australian
- Canadian

Amen... need floor spreaders so Burks can penetrate and our bigs can operate.

Hardaway Jr. shot 36% this year from college 3.
Rice shot 38% from NBA 3.

Another guy might be James Southerland.

Hardaway is soft mentally. He won't shoot well from 3's in the NBA.

Have I mentioned I hate Hardaway?

I know those players are good finesse players but tough hard nose defense where you knock people around, euros just don't bounce back usually.

I doubt that. His dad sure wasn't soft.

It's what happen when someone is "given something" rather than having to make "something out of nothing".

Big difference.

Go on..

Good post.

I think Hardway Jr can be one of those tough defensive players that knocks down a 3 when called upon. Along with Bullock, Rice Jr, and few others.

I can't see that... he comes across as soft mentally. Very soft.

That's the problem when you have a nice dad and he spoils you.

Maybe.. I just have him at the bottom of that grouping (Crabbe, Franklin, Ledo, Rice, etc)

BTW I saw the same softness in Knight coming out of UK...

While everyone was raving about his GPA, I knew he was just a soft kid inside, mentally...

He's not soft. But he thinks too much.
Calipari wanted him taking the final game-winning shot because Knight was okay with missing it... meaning, life goes on, so the pressure didn't effect him. He hit two buzzer-beaters in the NCAA tourney in route to the Final Four. He's mentally tough, but his VERY SMART brain holds him back.. as silly as that sounds.

People who thinks too much, worry too much are soft IMO.

Jumping on the Larkin bandwagon, eh?

Brilliant deduction, Robin.

Btw, did you see my crossword puzzle???
