What's new

Following potential 2013 draftees

It's more that he's not that good of a talent scout. He apparently has "insiders", although I think they just feed him a pile of crap and he runs with it. People that listen to him are like the guys that listen to Todd McShay. Idiots.

i could do Chad Ford's and Todd McShay's jobs better drunk.
 
Ford's comments re Adams' rise:

Five other players, New Zealand's Steven Adams, Michigan's Tim Hardaway Jr., Miami's Shane Larkin, New Mexico's Tony Snell and North Carolina's C.J. Leslie, also really helped themselves over the past few days.

Adams' name was especially hot all weekend. His size, athletic ability, defensive skills, soft shooting touch around the basket and excellent interviews all positioned him to move into the lottery from the mid-first round. His rise parallels, to a large degree, what Illinois' Meyers Leonard did last year at the combine. All year, teams feared that Adams didn't have the skill or the mental makeup to be a lottery pick. By Friday, virtually every executive in the NBA was predicting Adams would go somewhere between No. 9 and No. 14 and that he had moved ahead of Kelly Olynyk and Gorgui Dieng on their draft boards.

This is a rare piece of good news regarding our draft chances. Hopefully he pushed Schroeder our way. Also I wouldn't be happy if he's left at #14 - it might just land us someone like Bledsoe if we play our cards right.
 
Tony Snell? Who's he?

New Mexico small forward Tony Snell also appeared to make the leap this weekend from interesting prospect to potential first-round pick. He still has a long way to go as far as proving to scouts he can play with consistent effort, but the raw athletic ability and elite size for his position, combined with smooth shooting touch really improved his stock. I've heard his name as high as No. 21 to the Utah Jazz.

Can he play that Kawhi Leonard's role? He shot 39% from 3's this season. Here's a video I found of him:

i posted a vid of him the other day.

LOVE THIS PICK AT 21... sleeper

no he cannot play Kawhi Leonards role but he can come much closer to it, than KCP (For the Jazz, IMO)

nba draft.nets opening line on him is "if he doesnt do it smooth, he doesnt do it"
