Following potential 2012 draftees

This was my first chance to see Lillard play. And he did some nice things but other times he seemed a little skittish. Then he'd drive to the hoop with the utmost confidence. I dunno. Judging from this one game - I'm not super confident with the idea of grabbing him in the lottery.

Color me less than enthused.

Once a couple guys declare they're going back, the 10-14 range isn't going to be looking quite so good. If the dominos fall the wrong way we might be left with Zeller, T Jones, Leonard, and Lillard to pick from in that range. He doesn't look so bad now does he?

Well, he averages 5 per game. Not 10, obviously, but a very solid number.

I saw what I expected to see. A guy that has a great upside, but not lottery in THIS draft. I'd still take Marshall a spot ahead.

They're both just outside the lottery at this point. But depending on how many guys go back to school, at least one of them could realistically sneak in.
 
Anyone watch the Ware kid from Long Beach?

Maybe our future burner back up PG in the 2nd round this year?

Yes, he was skittish to start the second half. But at the end of the night he had 29 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists. So if we're judging just from this one game, I like what I saw.

Barnes and Rivers .. that other guy is a good guy, great college player, but will disappoint in the NBA .. if he's taken top10 .. and he will.

I had him at 14 :)

And for me to even consider a Buckeye says a little something

Yeah, have to wait and see how it all shakes out come draft. I was just hoping to be as wowed as many of you are at finally seeing Lillard play.

And spycam counters with Lillard's impressive numbers. I admit, I feel kinda dumb not jumping on board - given the impressive stats. And he did have some nice drives to the basket. Not to mention that NBA 3 he pulled off. But I"m not on board yet. I know the jazz need a PG but I don't know that he'll be BPA anywhere in the lottery. I'd hate wasting picks just to fill needs.

Color me hesitant.

I'm hoping to be impressed with a PG in the tourney (Rivers? Marshall?). I'd like the Jazz to find a stud PG if at all possible. Just not at the expense of BPA.
 
Utah making a strong push for the playoffs and GS is starting to slip. Perhaps the discussion should change to sleepers in the 2nd round and who Utah might be able to sign as the next Wesley Matthews (i.e. undrafted FA).
