Following potential 2012 draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
I am certainly biased, both as a UK fan and a Jazz fan. I do, however, try to be as objective as possible .. though I'll be the first to admit that it's sometimes difficult when you get to know one group of kids and only see the others in game situations. I started this thread for people like us, that enjoy the process of watching these guys grow and attempting to predict how their games will translate to the talent level and rigorous schedule of the NBA.

What about the goofy looking white kid? You never give him any love.
I actually really like Kyle Wiltjer. He's just not relevant for the 2012 lottery. His nickname is 'The Waterfountain' because he can hit from anywhere. He got the nickname at the Boost Mobile Elite in Venice Beach where he won co-MVP. He's been called by scouts as a mix of Keith Van Horn and Kevin McHale. He'll have a very nice year, but it will be next year before he'll see enough minutes to get on the nat'l radar. He was the 18th ranked player in the nation last year.
Isn't he the only other 6'10 or above player besides Davis though? Surely he will get a ton of minutes at center.
There's also Vargas at 6'11. He pretty much sucks though. I think Kyle can get 14 to 18 minutes, so it's not chump minutes, but he will be overshadowed.
Speaking of large shadows, what's your expectations for Sidney this year?
Hahaha, sounds about right.
Not to be a downer here, but I wonder how much longer this lockout needs to go before all these stellar players decide not to come out this year. I guess we have some runway still.
