What's new

Following potential 2012 draftees

This pains me spycam, it really does, but I think you are thinking of Machado. Who WAS leading the nation in that category about a month ago. It is now Kendall Marshall.

As for Lillard's assist-to-turnover .. not in the top 100.

This is what I was thinking of (ranked #1 amongst PG's in turnovers per possession, not assist/TO ratio).

From DX:

Lillard has also done a better job of taking care of the basketball thus far, cutting his turnover rate almost in half from previous seasons. This is quite an impressive feat, considering his heavy usage and how much his team depends on him to create offensively. To illustrate that, he actually ranks #1 amongst all NCAA point guard prospects in terms of turnovers per possession, coughing the ball up on just 10% of his possessions.

... and scouts have waited too long to get a good feel. It'll be interesting.

For sure.

I've been a supporter of Rivers, but if he doesn't come out...I'm not totally sure where I would stand between Marshall and Lillard. Actually, I would probably just want BPA (don't think Lillard OR Marshall are worth a lottery selection, in all honesty). We'll see though. Things could certainly change before draft day.
 
Between the two, I'd probably play it safe with Marshall than gamble on Lillard. I also wouldn't take either in the lottery. I'm a BIG proponent of BPA. It's just that this year is so stacked, that need and BPA are even more blurred, so you can almost go need ... except for PG's.
 
Oh no! I've started the PG debate again.
I think March Madness and with UNC being a top team, it'll be interesting to see how Marshall handles it...to see if he can take his team to the top, and how much he really matters to the team winning or whether it's just Harrison Barnes.

Most would say that Marshall has been more key to UNC's success than Barnes has.

UNC is stacked. Them and UK are, hands down, the most talented teams (undebatable). Also, both teams have very unselfish players that buy into the team concept. I think the key difference is UK's player are 110% committed to defense and UNC is allergic. I fear UNC the most this year, but they are weak on d.
 
Right. Marshall will definitely be one of the players I pay the most attention to during the tourney.

I'm getting very near that time of year that I shed my pro-anything that isn't UK. March MADness. First time I've said this in a 220 page thread ...


Go Cats!!!

I would say go Utes, but....well, I don't need to explain myself.
