Teague has dropped to last place among the 3 top PG prospects at #30 overall. Marshall has gone to the top, #19 overall.

Saw that and, at this point in the season, is about right. I'm not a big Teague fan .. but who knows? This time last year, Knight was a fringe first rounder because of his early season erratic play.

Difference is Knight can flat shoot the ball, plays poised, is a gym rat, a good leader, highly coachable, and a very nice BB IQ.

I'm not disappointed in the mock as I think it's a deserved move .. and I've always felt Marshall should go in the 20's.
 
Kidd-Gilchrist could be a starter. He needs to develop his shooting, but even if he's just so-so, he could be like a Ron Artest or Andre Igoudala--a physical player and relentless defender. He seems like a more interesting prospect than Kawhi Leonard. For what it's worth Bryon Russel couldn't hit an unguarded foul-line jumper when he first got drafted, and he became an adequate shooter within a couple of years.
 
Let me ask this -- where would Kendall Marshall be rated as a PG prospect next to Kemba Walker and Jimmer Fredette ? Both those players went in the top 10, albeit Jimmer for the wrong reasons.

That is an awesome and perplexing question. I think Marshall is a better PG than the other two, but lacking the shooting of either and reduced 'star power.'
This question GREATLY illustrates the difference in strength from last year to this year's draft, imo.

I'd take K-G 8 days per week over Leonard .. laughable even. I think people need to watch a dozen of Michael's games before they let the shotting become overly worrisome. He's a special player.
 
But with the revenue split and system issues taking so much time, there was little opportunity to change the non-economic issues. The draft age limit will remain 19 years at least through the 2012 draft -- the league would have liked to go to 20, the players would like to abolish it entirely --

Agree here. He has looked good in the games I have seen. Leonard is not in the same class imo
 
Couple of good matchups today.

Undefeated Kentucky playing at undefeated Indiana. Matchup to watch? Anthont Davis vs. Cody Zeller ... not to mention Teague has promised a huge game (to those close to him, not publicly) against what will be an absolutely BRUTAL crowd against him (IU fans hate him for choosing UK over the 'home school.').

Undefeated (and #2 ranked) Ohio State playing at Kansas. Though they don't play the same position, per se, it will be fun watching Sullinger vs. Robinson.

Both games on ESPN.
 
Actually impressed by Teague's 2nd half performance, showed he isn't as mentally weak as I thought.

Jones on the other hand, I just don't like that dude and today showed why. He is an emotional baby.
 
I missed the second half but K-G looked great. Cody Zeller looks to be close to his brothers level already.

Davis doesnt look quite so great when he plays against good comp. Dont get me wrong PKM he is a very good player, but not much difference between him and Cody.
