Wow, you make it sound really bad. If that is what you are going for, then you did a great job.

It is what it is. White is a really unique player that could be really good if a team uses him right. It's just figuring out how to use him that may be hard. I would like it just to get a front row seat to seeing him developed. It may bust, but it would be exciting.

I'd say Jones is the better ball handler. He really, really looked like a SF coming out of high school. In fact, it wasn't till like half way through his sophomore season that he started to seem more PF than SF to me...he just added so much weight in the off season.

Thanks
Serious question.. If it's so for sure, why is there not a single mock that has White within 5 spots of Jones? (and I don't necessarily disagree, btw)
I love Royce White, very cool player, no way I take him ahead of TJones or PJ3, though. Not enough ceiling to be worth the risk .. the Jones' just have too much size, skill, and upside to pass on .. for a cool player.
Poor take, imo. Respect the differing opinions, though. I think Royce has an 'it' factor. Does a lot of things very well, but the reality is he lacks size and explosiveness. I chuckled a bit when you made the assertion that he's 'position-less' as a positive factor. Not hating, as I said, I love the kid .. and I have been on record as to my concerns with the Jones'.

Anyone think there's a chance Marshall falls to us at 13/14? I feel like Portland and NO will both take one of the PG's (Marshall, Lillard) with their second pick. So if we want a PG from the draft, we may have to take one with our first pick (assuming we get it). Thoughts?
What I am hearing is Kendall could be gone by 8 or 9 .. so yeah.

Portland's looking for the next Roy with the New Jersey pick. I think they've been clear about that. Marshall isn't their type of player. I'd be more worried about Portland taking Rivers, Beal, Lilliard, Barnes, and Perry Jones. They seem to like very athletic wings and shooters.
I'm like 90% sure that Portland will take Rivers or Beal and a center.
Yep .. he changed a lot of minds, including this one;
