What's new

Following potential 2012 draftees

What happened to all the KG love? I know he isn't a shooter, but they are a lot easier to get then athletic sf's that are elite defenders. In a year or two the Jazz could be one of the better elite defensive teams in the NBA. With Favors, Kanter, and KG, that's a scary good defensive front line. Also add Hayward and Burks, who aren't defensive studs, they aren't liabilities either. Maybe Lillard would be a good fit to add to drafting KG, even though I Marshall.

Thoughts.

I have been a huge supporter of getting MKG but my support has lessened a little due to the fact he is saying that he wants to return to school, he may get picked in top 5 and his major short coming which is his outside shooting. However, if he is on the board at #8-12, it is a no brainer.
 
After watching Tinsley with the young four, I am starting to like the idea of drafting Marshall more and more. I enjoy it more when a PG is focused on getting other guys good looks. Add Burks and Hayward, who are both good passers, and I really like that mix of players... however outside shooting is still a concern...

Agree with all of this. That's why Miller and Barnes would probably be better fits than MKG for this Jazz team (especially if we draft Marshall over Lillard).

A lot of people are down on Barnes, probably not enough for him to slip down to our pick, but I would love to have him because he is a really damn good shooter. He can't create, but he can spot up and knock down shots all freaking day. That is exactly what we need.

Interesting thought.
 
Yeah, I think Marshall's more fundamental than Tinsley and Marshall controls the pace of the game a lot more.
Tinsley should be a street baller after he's done with the NBA. I love his behind the back moves...I want to learn those.
 
Holy ****. Bracket killers.

I dare say NO ONE had Norfolk State and Lehigh ..

This is probably a stark over-reaction....however I have to ask it.

Has the game passed by Coach K? It seems like Duke relies on the 3-ball more than they ever had, really struggle with athletic teams, idk...although our record this year was good, Duke didn't play like a top 10 team for most of the year IMO.

I think, if anything, recruiting (not just UK) has passed him by. He's a product of his roster this year. Hell of a coach, tired on the recruiting trail. Just my take.
 
Nothing is more fun in college basketball than watching Duke lose. Live by the 3, die by the 3.

In the words of the great PKM "I'm rolling".

I can get down with that. Sheed Suliamon was a good get, and if we can get Parker/Randle that would be epic...I could see him retiring after those guys leave if we get them or before that if we don't get them.
 
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Hantlers again. <------------ ****!!!

Meh, I laugh when people rejoice over Duke laughing. I mean, I get that it's a huge upset and it's awesome...but people love to hate on Duke. It's only cause we're Duke...hatin cause you're jealous is just a bitch-made move. Makes me laugh at them.

No, it's because the team only shoots three pointers and their big men are beyond soft. I hate watching the team this year. There have been past Duke teams I have liked, but this year they are just plain annoying to watch.
