Following potential 2012 draftees

I just wanted to add something about Miller. I really likes the fact that he used his size and started posting up his man down low. He didn't rely on athleticism or quickness to get his shot, just his size. Quickness and athleticism go away eventually, but size doesn't. He moved up a lot in my potential Jazz list. I would say #4 or so.

I think Quincy Miller's ceiling is a more creative, better passing Josh Howard. I think his floor is Donyel Marshall, which isn't bad. His combination of length, quickness, touch and passing out of the high post or mid-range could be the perfect complement to our front-court and back-court players. He could play a facilitator role in the offense like AK did, and could finish plays at the rim much better.

Miller can be frustrating in that he doesn't go 100% all the time .. games or practice. He has the upside to be #1 player in this draft, though.

The NBA is about skilled length and skilled quickness. Quincy Miller has skill, length and should have adequate quickness. He's got the ability to drive, score from different angles, pass and handle a bit. That puts a lot of pressure on the defense.

He is 6'4, for sure, but pure PG .. no.

I LOVE beal .. but he's a combo .. difference between him and, say, Wroten, is he's heady. Smart kid.

I worry about Beal's quickness and athleticism at the next level. If he can play PG, then great. He's got good size. At SG, I think he'll get chased off.

Agree. Don't think they don't also include intangibles. See MKG.
 
I went to a Baylor message board to confirm. Many said the same thing, but one dude said on his twitter he tweeted he had made a 3.5. Still impressive.
 
Not sure if Rivers can be a PG (though I hope he can), but does he remind anyone of Deron Williams in some way? Or is it just me?

Better first step than Deron. Better shooter than Deron. Not the floor leader (or even close) than Deron is.
 
I don't understand how nbadraft.net can have Kabongo, Teague, Wroten and other freshman that would really benefit from another year in school, in this years draft. Then a player like Miller is projected to go next year. Also, if the Hornet draft Sullinger with their own pick and then they get Minny's unprotected this year and they draft Terrance Jones? Bad draft? That would be an understatment.
