Wait, you think he is a PF?

Sort of, yeah. I mean, Sullinger is undersized to play C and not explosive enough for PF (not ideal anyway) .. and all the same can be said for Tobias except it's the 3/4.

I think Sullie is a C that will have to learn to play PF and I think Harris is a PF that will have to learn to play SF. Just talking about natural playing styles..

Another thing they share in common is that they still look like they carry baby fat.
 
One of the most disappointing things of SL has been the no MKG thing. The first half e first game he played in, he looked better then he ever did at Kentucky. I thought him going at 2 was early, but after the first half I don't think that anymore.

He was a blast to watch and I find myself turning on the TV anytime he Bobcats are supposed to be playing and hoping that MKG is playing.
 
Watched Lillard play and was real impressed with how easy he gets to the basket. He is going to be a good player in the league
 
Josh Selby has played better than Lillard.

60% from the floor, 70% from deep 27.5 ppg, 2.5 apg, 2.5 spg, 2.8 rpg. The guy could end up being a dangerous 6th man for the Grizzlies.

I've been bitching that Selby's been overlooked since the day he was drafted. Bill Self ****** the kid over .. he can ball.
 
Here is a good read.

For those that don't want to read about this here are the names:

Derrick Williams (2nd overall pick, 2011 – Minnesota Timberwolves)
Dion Waiters (4th overall pick, 2012 – Cleveland Cavaliers)
Jan Vesely (6th overall pick, 2011 – Washington Wizards)
Terrence Ross (8th overall, 2012 – Toronto Raptors)
Austin Rivers (10th overall pick, 2012 – New Orleans Hornets)
Cole Aldrich (11th overall pick, 2010 – Oklahoma City Thunder)
Kendall Marshall (13th overall pick, 2012 – Phoenix Suns)
Fab Melo (21st overall pick, 2012 – Boston Celtics)
Marquis Teague (29th overall pick, 2012 – Chicago Bulls)
Festus Ezeli (30th overall pick, 2012 – Golden State Warriors)

Two quick thoughts: I am happy to see the Kanter is not on this list. I still like Rivers. I think it will take him two years to figure out how to play in the NBA but by year three, watch out!

Maybe because this is from the Vegas league.
 
Not enough playing time. He was pretty well dominating Tyshawn Taylor in practices yet only got about 12 minutes per game, iirc. Some coaches just make it too hard for a rookie to get playing time. There's more stuff too, but it all comes back to him being 'too young to get pt.
