Following potential 2012 draftees

The exciting thing about Miller though is that this is only his 1st year back from ACL surgery, so it's possible he isn't at 100%.

I agree. I know that there is a lot of talk around here about potential but he oozes with it to me. Another thing that I really like is that from the games that I have watched he does not rely on his athleticism to create his shot. He really uses his length the right way, ala Kevin Durant. (I am not saying that Miller is Durant or has that potential, just that they are similar and Durant uses his length to overcome defenders)
 
nbadraft.net should just close their site down. They just updated today and guess who they have going before Quincy Miller in this next draft??

Too many to list. Have Barnes going 3, MKG going 7, Miller going 35.

Wow, that makes me cringe a little bit.

I like MKG as a player, just not for us. We need shooters and that's the opposite of what he is. It's too bad, because he really is a good player. I'd still take Luol Deng over him though.


/Just wanted to rub a Duke player in PKM's face.

Haha, that's all good. Some may disagree, but I am unbiased when it comes to analyzing talent.

I was among the first to say no to Teague. I was one of the first to say Enes will be very good but he needs time, but his learning curve will be fast. I speak highly of Davis, but he's totally worthy. I've even been saying both Barnes and Miller over MKG. I like the back-and-forth ribbing. We're sports fans, the nancies here that get their panties in a wad should take up crocheting or something.
 
Hantlers: Why was Rivers not in the starting line up? Not to mention he's 0/5 from 3 tonight and Duke getting KILLED by NC State .. what's going on down there?
 
Was Rivers on the bench tonight to start the game? ESPN boxscore doesn't have him in the starting lineup.

I think Rivers did start, and one of the 3 Plumlees is redshirting so he definitely didn't play. Rivers had a horrid first half, and Duke is a really inconsistent team...I hate them right now to be honest with you. Mason Plumlee is athletic as hell, but doesn't really know how to play basketball, Seth Curry is good and Rivers is good...Ryan Kelly could die right now and I wouldn't care. Rivers did play well down the stretch though, once again hitting a big shot...kid's got ice water. Wasn't his best game though.

I hate Mason Plumlee so much.
 
This is back from December, but I never read it and don't remember seeing it posted here, but some interesting stats on Harrison Barnes from a Jonathan Givony article on Grantland.


Through eight games this season, Barnes has made just one field goal (a runner against Tennessee State) inside the paint in non-transition, post-up or offensive rebound situations — highlighting his struggles as a shot-creator.

Harrison Barnes points per possession on: catch-and-shoot/no dribbles: 1.39 PPP, 1 dribble: 0.86 PPP, 2+ dribbles: 0.64 PPP

Like I've been saying, Harrison Barnes can't create his own shot...at all. Scary.

It actually was posted earlier in the thread, and yes, those numbers are scary. Though, just from watching him lately, I wouldn't be surprised if those stats have gotten better.
