Following potential 2012 draftees

Yeah, the kid does a good job trying to get teammates involved and distributing to go along with being a hell of a scorer, high motor/intensity and high bball IQ. Thats why I've been high on him all season. Hoping they make the tourney.

While he does do this, one major concern is the level of competition. I see a lot of Big Sky games and well....the teams just really aren't that good.

I've always acknowledged that. That said, all the kid can do is play against the teams scheduled. Thats why I really hope he makes the tourney so we at least get one glimpse at him against real comp, since they'd likely be going against at top 4ish seed at worst.

*(I cant seem to find any real info on when the Big Sky conf tourney in played, am I bad at Google?)*

I"m not sure if he's somebody we would draft, but what are you guys thinking of Moe Harkless from St. Johns? Puts up good numbers although he plays a lot of minutes which makes a difference obviously, very athletic but not that great of a shooter. You think he'll enter the draft?

Thanks, I kept getting to the conf page and it would show the reg season standings but couldn't find this/I'm an idiot.

No problem big guy...I'm hoping Weber wins so they can play good competition. They seem to struggle against Montana though, Montana has a really, really good defensive PG.

I have a hard time believing that the Jazz would pass on PJ3 with the 10th pick in the draft, especially if they are going to take Leonard with the 12th pick.

It makes more sense to draft PJ3 first because Lillard will still be there at 12.

Chad Ford really bothers me sometimes.

Am I missing something? We don't need bigs we need a pg, and shooting. Unless Jones can play on the wing and shoot.

You are not missing anything. According the Ford, the Jazz are going to draft a big and a PG. Would you rather have PJ3 or Leonard from Illinois? That is the discussion I was having.

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.

PKM, would you trade CJ for a mid to late second round pick to draft this kid?

I have watched Kentucky several times and would do it in a heart beat. I think the kid can play as a reserve in the NBA. He certainly can be as good as CJ without the frustration. What is your opinion?

So, I have to re-hash the Darius Miller thing. I, admittedly, haven't hardly seen him at all but if he's as good a shooter as anyone in the draft and an elite athlete with good/great size for the position, what separates Harrison Barnes from him then? I'm not at all being sarcastic, I see Barnes as a very good shooter (spot up, mostly) with V E R Y average athleticism for the next level.

Both are playing elite competition, etc. What makes Barnes, roughly, top 8 and D Miller a late second round?

Attitude. Meaning, take-over attitude. Miller plays hard, but he just doesn't feel like he's supposed to be a scorer. He has a good teammate type of attitude, but he lacks a killer instinct. He has the ability, period .. but has never shown a desire to be the man.

In the game on this past Thursday, against Georgia, he had 17pts, 2rbs, 3asts, 2stls ... on 5/9 from 3. He was more assertive because it was senior night and Calipari TOLD him to. He normally just likes to let the others have their time in the spotlight ... I've never understood it, drives me crazy, but it is what it is.

In a minute. He's a better shooter, plays very solid defense, and plays SMART basketball.

Showing a little athleticism.

He has intrigued me all season. He seems like a player that fits the Jazz system very well. He competes hard, plays defense and is unselfish. I can see him as the type of player that will have a big game a few times a season and in between he will do everything he can to help you win.

He certainly seems like an NBA prospect to me. Some team will be very happy that they drafted him.
