PKM, you been high on both QMiller and Rivers (and MKG and Davis). So based on HS these guys were all great. But Quincy's problem is that he just doesn't care to try to be his best? Yet you'd still take him? ...I really do think Darius has looked better, but I never saw them in HS. Maybe that puts me at an advantage over someone who's still mystified by the talent Q displayed against inferior competition.
Not bad projecting, really. Davis = check. QMiller had a desire concern (going back to soph. year). Rivers could still be what he's supposed to be (can't say he's disappointed, yet). MKG = no doubt.
Sometimes the right coach/team can bring out the best in a player. If a coach/team brings out the best in QMiller, watch out. DMiller will be a solid 8/9 guy on a pro tem for years, but his ceiling is much more limited (MUCH). QM may never do anything at all .. but let me say this .. if he were playing for UK/Cal, he'd be taken top5. Sure of it.

Well, obviously something's there for Q to be listed as a top 2 H.S. recruit. I thought the Jazz would have to draft him with their first lottery pick and just grab whatever PG was left for their second lottery pick. But now it looks like Q won't be projected in the lottery anyway. Whereas all of Lillard, Marshall, and Rivers could be.
Guess the Jazz could take their pick of the PGs with their first lottery pick and wait and grab Miller with their second one. But it doesn't matter if the Jazz make the playoffs. Only one lottery pick then (maybe).

For the 2nd round watchers, tourney stats for DLamb and DMiller;
Lamb - 16.75pts (leads UK) on 60% from 3, 68% from the field, 72% from the line (though he's shooting 84% on the season).
Miller - 13pts (only 1.5 behind Davis), 3.25rbs, 2.25asts, Shooting 50% from 3, 58% from the field, 93% from the line. (efficient?)

He's undecided. I'm not crazy about his bbIQ or his outside shot. He can handle the ball and get to the rim, but I don't see him as an elite PG, ever. I'd say;
1. Marshall
2. Lillard
3. Kabongo
4. Wroten/Teague
With only the first two being potential and meaningful starters.
