What's new

Following potential 2012 draftees

Just played the ESPN mock lotto and I got Damial Lillard and Kendall Marshall.
 
So what are we looking at regarding Anthony Davis, if he can put on some muscle is he going to be a coordinated Dwight Howard? Or more of a KG type player? Or a force unknown, something we have never seen?

Don't think he can get that big. Howard was a lean 240 at 18, Davis is 214 according to DX, although might be 220ish by camp time.
 
I spoke with Teague a couple hours ago. He was leaning a return to college but is getting vibes (didn't ask where these vibes are coming from) that he's moved himself up into the 20 range. He said he's leaning, heavily, to declaring. Don't know that that means much for us (as we wouldn't take him in the lottery and we won't likely have a pick outside the lottery (barring a trade) .. but I thought it might help water down the PG pool a bit .. which could help.
 
Just saw that Thorpe says Doron Lamb is going to be the player this year that is drafted way ahead of where he should be drafted. Compared him to a Courtney Lee, but more frail.
 
I'd still take him second overall.

I'd think about it. I'm glad the Jazz don't have to make that decision. But if he drops to 8th and the Jazz miraculously keep those Tanksters' pick...

Who knows .. but I will say that Lamb is calm, smooth, crafty, and nearly a career 50% 3pt shooter. Having said that, I could see him doing nothing .. preplexing .. which is why he's not a definite 1st rounder.

Yeah, I can't see anyone taking him over John Jenkins. Maybe though.

Also would like to point out MSU played the best 20 minutes of basketball against UK that was played all year.

I would take John Jenkins or JTaylor before Lamb ..

as for your MSU stuff .. I gave credit to them throughout the year .. more fairly than they deserved.

Lol, I just thought about it when I was talking to another UK fan friend. We legitimately seemed to do the best job of interior defense against Davis and Jones, and avoiding Davis's length. We were just too mentally weak to finish the game and MKG was able to exploit our lack of backup SF after Hood got injured early on.
 
PKM, what can you say about Alex Poythress? Is he a for sure 1 and done? Can he shoot? Defensively? Athletically?

Looking to the 2013 top 6 protected pick from the Warriors.

Poythress will move up the rankings, mark it down. Crazy athlete for his size (TJones with MKG atheticism). He's a real tweener, though. Doesn't yet have post moves and not a great outside shooter. (This is what Cal is saying .. media says he's a freak and off the charts .. I'm giving the reality version, here).
 
Next year's draft, btw, will be deep to around 12 ... in comparison to this years draft being deep to around 24'ish. Doesn't make it twice as weak .. just not nearly as deep.

Awesome. I could go for another year of looking at GSW's record.
