Following potential 2014 draftees

For those that hadn't heard when I said it earlier.. Poyhtress' problem last year was his dribble. He has all the size, skill, shot, and athleticism to he great (and he's wicked smart)... but he lost confidence earlier in the year because he didn't know his dribble wasn't tight enough until he reached the college level. With every other facet of his game being at a near elite level, he has worked on his handles all day every day since the end of last season with a coach on primarily that one thing. It that gets his confidence back up... you'll see an entirely different player from last year.

A 6'9 strong as an ox SF that is a 40% shooter from nba 3.

How do you know he's a 40% shooter from NBA 3?

Legit question.. I was merely predicting what you'll see.. not suggesting there's any empirical evidence to support it. He was 40+ last year and he has one of those effortless shots.. ya know?

I see. Thought you were going off of all the 3's he shot way beyond the arc last year or something weird.

First off, touches don't have a lot to do with draft stock. Anthony Davis took the 4th number of shots for UK when he went #1 and MKG took the 5th amount and went 2nd. It's widely known you don't have to stuff the stat sheet to get drafted in the lottery.

Starting lineup will likely be;
An Harrison
Aa Harrison
Alex Poythress
Julius Randle
WCS
(hey look, you were right! haha)

First off the bench will be James Young, followed by Dakari Johnson and then Marcus Lee or Jon Hood.

I'm projecting Poythress to get 27 minutes per game.

but for the case of poythress he will need to prove to scouts that last year was an aberration. that means getting some touches. both brow and mkg where primarily drafted on their defense. both where also extremely efficient offensively.

all I am saying is poythress has some things to prove.

He shot 40% while only shooting when he was wide open, hence why he only had 1 3-point shot a game. Similar to Tony Mitchell last year.

Poythress is the guy who benefited the most from Wiggins not going to UK.
 
Eric Bledsoe played a game of pickup with the UK guys last week..

He said the Harrisons and James Young were damn good and he had to go 100% against them.... he said, "this year ain't even gonna be fair."
 
James Young looks like a pretty smooth player. I think Aaron Harrison is going to surprise some people though.

When I said last year, I meant the year previous to the one he just played. I probably should have been more specific, but I figured you were smart enough to figure it out. Guess I was wrong.
 
Best point guard in this draft by FAR is Andrew Harrison.

If the Jazz miss out on Wiggins or Parker, I would be taking a serious look at him.

Great size at 6'5 and is a lights-out shooter. Pretty good athleticism and play making abilities. Obviously the better player out of the twins. Probably would put him in the same category at Rose, Wall, Irving, etc. Depending on what happens with Burke this year, if he struggles I think the Jazz take a serious look at drafting Harrison. Then bring Burke off the bench as a combo guard sixth man in the mold of Jason Terry/J.R. Smith.

I wonder if Burke and Andrew Harrison can play together? I remembered DWade starting out at the PG position and turned into more of a scoring SG who can also make plays...
