Following potential 2013 draftees

Yeah, he shouldn't have picked up his dribble. He was also so, so close on another great move and lay-up attempt that just rolled off.

Yea, I really like the kid.

What about this SG from Kansas? No one's mentioned him, perhaps because SG is not our primary need, but the kids has very good numbers and has pretty much elite athleticism and body.

Tell me more. This team still needs talent desperately. Any and all quality talent is welcome. So like I said, tell me more.

Ben McLemore.

Ben McLemore.

Yep.

I think I am leaning toward him. His numbers are stellar and he has great athleticism. He's a frosh scoring 16.5 points on 53.8%/40.8% w/ 4.5 attempts per game/86.0% on 3.9 free throw attempts (that could be better) and he grabs 5.7 rebounds, dishes 2.3 dimes, has 1.2 steals and 0.8 blocks, and just 2.0 personal fouls and 2.0 turnovers, neither of which are bad. He's still just 19 and though he's a little short for a 2, he has good length with a 6'7" wingspan. Best of all, he could be a great defender.

For me, it's easier to eliminate guys I have no interest in: McAdoo (no need), Austin, Zeller, Gobert, Plumlee...these five I want nothing to do with...

I completely agree with this list.

Ben McLemore.

pass.

[Gyp Rosetti]

pass.

Why? Based on his numbers and athleticism, he seems like a can't miss. I know there's a semi-checkered past but it doesn't sound so bad.

[Gyp Rosetti]

Actually, I re-read his profile. It doesn't sound good.

Highlights please?

Highlights please?

Click on the DX link I linked a few posts above.

I honestly may overlook his off-court issues based on his numbers/athleticism. He has Russell Westbrook type athleticism. And the first dunk in his highlights is sick.

He's good .. but meh overall. Sorry, more later if he sticks as a top priority.

Great insight. Too bad his numbers and athleticism don't support your opinion.

My opinions over (documented) are laughably superior to yours (not that that's saying much), so meh.
