Following potential 2012 draftees

Great write up, X. I agree with about everything. Two comments;

1) Cody Zeller could be the 3rd best big man in this draft (though I think he'll stay another year). I would only take Davis and Drummond ahead of him. I like him better than Tyler Zeller, by a mile.

2) MKG - A thought I've had, but haven't yet shared, is that MKG can guard the opposing team's PG. That means we could take a guy that facilitates the offense but can't defend as well .. problem is that doesn't mean Marshall (i.e.) because MKG and Marshall on the perimeter would be problematic. If you've wached MKG play, you have seen him rip a rebound and go coast-to-coast, often taking on 3 defenders and weaving his way to the rim. Point is, having (for example) a backcourt of MKG and Rivers could be very effective (Rivers the slasher/shooter and MKG the lockdown defender/slasher/rebound-and-goer).

EDIT: misstyped 'can' .. should have been can't.

I just don't know enough about Cody.

I didn't do one for rivers. Oh well next batch

i agree but MKG should be TOP 5, we will draft around 10-15 i guess,
our BIGEST need is PG, what do you think about Lillard, i saw Kendal Marshal last night , no comments right now i will not pick him with lottery pick (no matter this is one game) like MKabongo
SF position is only QMiller around 10-15,
C MLeonard, it look like KOC take best possible player and we will see.... hehe

I don't think MKG will go top 5. My guess would be between 7 and 9.
There is no PG worthy of a lottery pick, imo.
I'm not crazy about Leonard and I definitely wouldn't take him in the first 14.
 
I wonder if lillard is worthy. I like what he has done and what he is doing. He might be the only pg worth a 13 - 14 pick
 
Obviously A LOT of this has yet to fully pan itself out. I love this thread because draft talk is some of my favorite, but the tourney and combines/individual workouts will change what we think A LOT between now and draft time, IMO.

I'd say the fans and every GM would like to know the answer to that question. His numbers are undeniably impressive, to say the least .. but Weber State has a strength of schedule of 287. That is so bad that it is a legitimate cause for concern. I think he'll be very good, but wouldn't take him in the lottery.

Nah, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I think Marshall is a heady kid with a high bball IQ and elite passing skills, I just think when you go to the next level he's going to need more than that with the level of athletes he'll be going against.

I pray Weber makes the tourney. A good to great game against a Kansas etc type team, even in a loss, will help answer a lot of questions. But again, workouts and combine numbers will help as well. A lot left to be determined.

As much as I love Lillard, I've seen some of the teams he plays against....absolutely terrible. Just terrible. It is definitely a very legitimate concern, he has all of the abilities IMO, I would love to see him at Portsmith or something though.
