I was just drooling with the thought of a young core like this

Rivers
Burks
Hayward, q miller
Millsap, Evans
Favors, kanter

Yes millsap is stll young maybe grab a second round pg like machado, Taylor etc

The scary thing is that this is actually a reasonable possibility based on where our draft picks will likely land and where Miller and Rivers are projected to fall (though this could change, I doubt either of their stocks will rise too much).

And if we do get both of them, I'd say it would be reasonable to project us as contenders within three years.
 
With the ever-present talk of Austin Rivers maybe working as a combo guard on a team that uses wings to handle the ball more, would anyone entertain the idea of Tyshawn Taylor? I definitely have my concerns, but the guy has a lot of talent, is a great shooter, has an awesome physical profile, and is a good defender. I think he could be worth a look into late in the draft.

What is your definition of late in the draft?

He's okay, nothing jumps off the page for me. Also don't like that he has been suspended for attitude issues or breaking of team rules each of his 4 years at Kansas.

I like Selby. He was mishandled, imo, by Bill Self and should prove that he can be fairly elite. (if it all hasn't gotten in his head already)

I apologize. I wasn't comparing the two players I was just using the draft number of Selby to explain that it makes sense to me that Taylor could be drafted in the same place.
 
I like what I've seen of Ross but can he pass the ball and how is his defense? I understand highlight films are usually offensively- oriented so can some one enlighten me about his passing ability and defense.

Taylor has a lot of quickness but he is definitely a second rounder with his attitude issues. I don't think all blame can be put on Self, the kid was hurt as a freshman and just recently got arrested for marijuana use so maybe those two things had more to do with him underachieving at Kansas.

No sweat, whatsoever, I was simply stating that I believe Selby is much better than most people understand.
 
If you are looking at second rounds PGs there is a list that i would take infront of T taylor

Lilliard
J Taylor
Machado
Doron Lamb might be a second rounder
Halloway

Ross gets burned, badly, on defense. That said, it's simply because he overplays for steals and not because he's physically limited.

That's a good list. DLamb is a SG, though .. and I'd be very cautious about trying to convert him (though I believe it could be done).
 
I was giving a list of players that i would choose over taylor and i would rather see a converted Lamb then taylor. If Rivers can do it Lamb might also good shooter decent defnder and decent passer.
