This last week in two games Damien Lillard averaged 37.5 ppg, 5 apg, 2 rpg and 1 spg. Not too bad, terrible competition, but he's playing well.
For the season he's averaging 25.5 ppg, 3.8 apg, 5.4 rpg, and 1.2 spg while shooting 48% from 2 and 46% from 3. I'm impressed.

Trying to be objective and remembering what Favors looked like as a Freshman, I would probably go:
1 Davis (Franchise changer)
2 Robinson (He's just playing too well.)
3 Favors (prototypical athlete and work ethic)
4 Drummond (If I had a dollar every time I heard the word 'potential'...)
5 Miller (sweet player)
6 Barnes (money shooter)
7 Moultrie (potential beast)
8 Sullinger (big and skilled)
9 Kidd-Gilchrist (ultimate energy player)
10 Perry Jones III (upside if he can focus)
Yeah, you're probably right. He'd go no earlier than 4th behind Favors and Drummond.
Watching this next draft class play makes the pain of losing a bit more dull.

Is Damian Lillard a pure-PG prospect? I've been out of the state the last few years and haven't been able to follow him at all. Any chance he falls to that second round area where our pick from NJ will be?
Who intrigues you more, Lillard or Machado as a possible PG to take a chance on?
...maybe i'm wrong, do the jazz not get NJ's second round pick this year?

They're both intriguing but I'd roll the dice on Machado as the PG prospect, no slight to Lillard.
No, we only get our 2nd round pick this year.

I actually played in the CIML conference in HS. Same conference as Ames high school which is where Harrison Barnes played HS ball (as well as Doug McD from Creighton) I would be ecstatic if we could get our hands on him. I played against him and he was crazy good. We were named to 2009 All-District together. This guy seriously is more than just a talent. He is a great guy and works extremely hard. I think he fits the build of the kind of players in Utah that we like. I really hope to see him on the Jazz.
Now besides us getting him (which I doubt we will) I would really like Machado in the second round. The assist numbers he has put up are crazy good. In the first round I would like a SF. If Miller comes out I would want him, if not I would be cool with MGK. But, I don't seem him falling past 5 to be honest. Terrence Ross is an athletic shooter, that might fit the system.
