Or his teammate John Jenkins in the late 1st/ early 2nd as a 3 point shooter.

I had John Jenkins, in the late first round, in my pre-season mock draft. Taylor is good too .. but I would rather have Jenkins. By the way, UK plays at Vandy on ESPN tonight at 7MST. Vandy's gym is so funky that Vegas only has UK as a 4.5pt favorite.
 
Barnes did real well on the boards today (11). He scored 14pts but on 4/15 shooting. Good to see he decided to crash the boards when his shot wasn't falling.
 
JLamb continues to have his 3pt shooting plummet. It's now down to 33% after today's 2/10.

Comparing that to DLamb at 49.5% from 3 .. 2 years in a row ..

I'm not nearly as sold on JLamb. This is why I had JLamb around 16 on my pre-season mock.
 
I would love a player like dlamb he has Wes Matthews written all over him. This years draft is so stacked I say no matter what take BPA. If a big is best take them and trade one of ours to get the sf we need or pg.
 
Rivers not playing well today. Streaky player, I think we'll definitely have a chance to get him with our 2nd first round pick.

We will. Our own pick will be between 12-14 and I suspect all of the PG prospects (Rivers, Marshall, Kabongo, Teague) will be available. There are things I like and dislike about each of them, but hopefully KOC and company can sniff out which one(s) are NBA material and which will work with our young core.
 
Thomas Robinson with another big game: 24/14/2. He's listed at 6'10" on espn. Is that right? If it is, I'd expect him to get drafted above Sullinger.

Mike Moser with an impressive game: 19/9/2/6/4 on 45% from the field against San Diego State. Another sophomore SF.
 
I am going to throw out a second round sleeper Elias Harris from gonzaga. He was a first round talent last year but didn't improve from a good freshman year. He could be had in the second round if he comes out. Good 3 pt shooter too.

As pg's go, and because Harris has turned me off to scoring pg's who can't run an offense, unless we are drafting Rivers to play sg I want no part of him. Teague can't run an offense, I don't have interest in him. I have no Knowledge of this Kabongo. That leaves Marshall, unless Kabongo has really good pg skills Marshall is the tops in the pg pool. PKM, where do you see Marshall going in the draft.

As long as GS is outside the top 7 it's looking like we will have two picks in the lottery as the Jazz schedule only gets tougher. Dont get me wrong I'm hoping they make the playoffs, but I'm starting to wonder if they will win enough games. If this plays out, my dream draft would be KG, Sullinger and trade Harris or someone for another pick for Marshall. This team has a chance to be the cream of the crop in a few years.

Kabongo has great court vision and is a pass-first PG. The main knocks against him are that he would often prefer to make a fancy pass instead of the right pass, plays a bit out of control, and is a poor shooter. He has good potential as an NBA PG, imo.

As far as Rivers goes, he would definitely not be a pass-first PG, but he could become an adequate floor general. He's also already a great leader, competitor, and would spread the floor very nicely (something we clearly lack right now). You can't count him out.

Marshall is top tier in terms of court vision, passing ability, and overall ability to run an offense. He truly makes his teammates better. But his mediocre outside shot and penetration really make me question whether his game will translate to the next level. It seems like those two things have gotten a little better recently, but it's still a big cause for concern, imo.

KOC has his work cut out for him.

I would think so. The main problem with it is he doesn't get much lift when he shoots and he releases the ball as he's on his way down (think Favors).

I think Favors fixed that, though.

What I noticed with Marshall is that it's just a really unorthodox shot...like Brewer almost, but yeah he just doesn't have form and so I don't know that it can be fixed. It's a shame with his court vision though. Who knows, we do have one of the best shooters of all time that can teach him

It's not even close to as unorthodox as Brewer's.

I don't think his shot is that unorthodox. I really believe the main issue is that he doesn't jump high enough when he shoots. He gets no power behind his shot, then will sometimes try to compensate with funky arm movements. It's fixable, imo.
