Following potential 2012 draftees

[Dr. Jones]

I watched some of the UConn game this evening. First, Jeremy Lamb had about three air balls off of normal touches that I saw, off by 2 feet or more. He didn't have a great game, for sure.

Drummond plays a bit sleepy sometimes, but he has spurts of quickness and explosiveness. His movement and body language isn't great--he's flat footed and shuffles around a bit. To be honest, he looks like a slightly rich man's version of Greg Monroe. More explosive to be sure, but he's not a lock to be a dominant player in the NBA despite his talent. He also shoots free throws like he learned from the Shawn Marion school of weird.

yep .. everythang

A rich man's Greg Monroe sounds like my cup of tea.

QMiller got in early foul trouble and only played 18 minutes. Played an inspired 18 minutes, though, with 9pts (3 of 3 from 3) and 11 boards. Board beasting.

I saw they played A&M, I think their tallest starter is 6'8 if I remember correctly.

Well then PJIII should have had more than 5 boards in 37 minutes.

Did I mention that PJ3 only has 4 double doubles for the season? That scares me. He size and athleticism intrigue me. I don't know if I like him or not.

Q-Mill is my #1 guy right now. Pretty excited that the Jazz might get Machado as well. Knowing how to play basketball is a very underrated ability.

Whoa, Whoa. Knowing how to play basketball is an advantage in playing basketball? I thought everyone just drafted on potetntial.

It seems most people here are obsessed with how tall someone is or how athletic they are as if it's an end-all. There's a reason Millsap is far and away the best player on the Jazz and it's not because he has a ton of either. Same with Watson.

Prospects are more rated on their physical potential than their ability to actually play basketball in general. Just break down how rare it is to just get a PG that can spread the floor, not need to hog the ball, and not make mistakes. The list is damn short.

 

[Wham!]

I generally agree with your bball opinion on things so i want to know more bout Machado. i have never watched him play. what do you like in him?

 

[Hantlers]

Has anybody here actually seen Machado play or are we just going off of stat lines? From what I've heard he's kind of slow, but again, I've never watched him play so I'm very hesitant to say anything positive/negative about him.
