Following potential 2012 draftees

[Dr. Jones]

Interesting thought.

Was said in jest. Just being a contrarian. I do think he's a very good rebounder, though.

You know, a guy like Barnes would actually be a good fit on the Jazz. With Burks slashing and Favors/Kanter crashing, having Barnes spotting up wouldn't be a bad thing. I just wish he had more dimensions to his game. We probably wouldn't be able to draft him anyway though, given where we're projected.

This.

Though, he's not just a spot up shooter. The way some people on this board talk about him, you'd think they were talking about Korver.

Beal's rebounding #'s are inflated because no one else on Florida rebounds.

Kind of like how Barnes's rebounding #'s are minimized because he plays with Henson and Zeller.

So your point about Barnes, that I conceded, was that NC has him release to get out on the break but Florida has their SG in the paint to rebound with the bigs rather than release as well? Come on man, the kids an exceptional rebounder at his position. Period.

I wouldn't be surprised if Beal is the guy the Blazers are hoping they can draft.

Can't believe they got the Nets #1 for the soon to be expiring Wallace. Highway robbery.

Insane. NJ's whole DWill "era" will go down as possibly the worst GM'ing in modern NBA history.

Beal is the 3rd guard, and the 3rd tallest player in the rotation, so he is in the same spot as Barnes. Patrick Young isn't a good rebounder, and Murphy is a 3pt shooter who floats the perimeter. So yeah, there is a need for him to crash the boards hard.

So Wallace walks too. Are they doing this on purpose? Instead of Brooklyn does he want to move the team to Russia?

Haha, alright brother......the 6'3" kid that has averaged 8.4 boards over his last 5 and over 6 for the season is an average rebounder at best. Just make sure to continue to never be wrong.

Did I ever say average rebounder? He is a great rebounder, just saying his numbers are inflated. Just make to sure to continue to make things up.

So much to watch Jae Crowder playing defense off the ball. He finds a way to make an impact on each and every possession.

His defense reminds of someone I know. RT @ShaneBattier: Jae Crowder from Marquette is fun to watch. Jack of all trades. Great player.

Also, I'm warming up to Kendall Marshall at the weirdest time.

I think his play in the last couple months has won over all but a couple of us. I don't think the wrist thing changes anything, at all, about his draft stock. He has nothing left to prove and I would advise him to end the season rather than risk further injury or end his collegiate career playing at 60% (or whatever).
