I've mentioned it before, but worth mentioning again .. someone with a late 2nd round pick could find a real gem in Darius Miller. Intangibles a 10+.

6'8 230lb guy that is lights out from the perimeter (shooting 50% in the 2nd half of this season). Big rebounder, great defender, glue guy. Mid-range game. Elite handles. Supreme athlete. Has played all 5 positions for UK. He could play (purely) either the 2 or 3 in the NBA.

Only knock is he's too unselfish. He has the ability to take over a game, but yields too much to the other guys. Probably not all that bad of a trait in the NBA though?

That to me just doesn't sound like you're comparing him to other late 2nd round picks. But as a late 2nd round pick, I'd take him for sure. Jazz would have to get a late 2nd to get him though b/c the Jazz's 2nd right now would be more early-middle pick than late

Agree. I'd only take him past 50.

He also thought Terrence Jones was going to have a, and I quote, "monster" year.

Speaking of T-Jones, is Josh Smith with not as much athleticism a good comparison for him? Both fall in love with their jumper too much, have some character issues and don't play to their potential

Jones reminds me of that dude on Grey's Anatomy who was kicked off the show for using gay slurs. Something Washington I think. Their faces remind me of one another and both sort of have this permanent scowl and attitude problem. I wouldn't touch Jones. He seems like a bitch who moans when things don't go as he'd hoped.

He has his outside shooting under control this year. He only averages 2 3's per game and his hitting just under 40% of them. There are zero character issues, none. In two years the only disciplinary action (and contrary to popular belief, Cal puts up with NOTHING) was for sleeping late and being late to one practice.

I don't love comparisons .. so I'll refrain from that question.

He'll likely go higher than where I'd take him (I think he'll go around 12 or 13 and I wouldn't take him until early 20's.
For that matter, I think MKG will go 6 or 7 and I wouldn't take him until 12'ish.
