Following potential 2012 draftees

Okay, damn, I'll try explaining myself even better. I meant compared to others that would be considered in the late 2nd round. I'm not so stupid to suggest that a should-be lottery pick is under the radar and can be had in the late 2nd.

*I'm not mad, just frustrated that I'm taking so many posts to explain what I thought was an easy concept. If I could turn back time .. I would have kept it to myself, lol.

PKM, I don't think you're understanding what he said. He said he is decent at everything, not good or elite or supreme at anything. Big difference. You're overrating him by saying he has elite handles, supreme athleticism and above average rebounding skills and passing. If he had those, he'd be a lottery pick.

I'll say he has great athleticism and is a great shooter. Everything else average, especially rebounding. He averages less than 3 boards, don't know how thats great

You seem to be forgetting that just being a Kentucky athlete automatically means that you're above average at everything.

Ok, well that makes more sense if that's what you truly meant. Although I have some weird hunch believing that you think he really is that good at everything:p

I meant it the way I said it .. late 2nd.

Having said that, he's as good at shooting the ball and is as good as an athlete as anyone in the draft .. or VERY close. He's the best athlete on UK's team and is hitting 50% from three the past 20 games. That is an intriguing player in the late 2nd.

I've mentioned it before, but worth mentioning again .. someone with a late 2nd round pick could find a real gem in Darius Miller. Intangibles a 10+.

6'8 230lb guy that is lights out from the perimeter (shooting 50% in the 2nd half of this season). Big rebounder, great defender, glue guy. Mid-range game. Elite handles. Supreme athlete. Has played all 5 positions for UK. He could play (purely) either the 2 or 3 in the NBA.

Only knock is he's too unselfish. He has the ability to take over a game, but yields too much to the other guys. Probably not all that bad of a trait in the NBA though?

That to me just doesn't sound like you're comparing him to other late 2nd round picks. But as a late 2nd round pick, I'd take him for sure. Jazz would have to get a late 2nd to get him though b/c the Jazz's 2nd right now would be more early-middle pick than late
