Following potential 2012 draftees
- Thread starter Dr. Jones
- Start date
It's not ideal, but the other things he brings to the table are great. Great shooter, great athlete (has a 40 inch vertical), can drive against anybody, good and willing passer.
Also, he is clutch. Plays better in big games and in big moments. Not even saying I want him, just saying if we are taking sub- 6' PG, I would take him.
He definitely does not struggle in the half-court. Baylor is probably my 2nd most watched team, and he is fine in the half-court. His speed is unstoppable around picks, and his jump shot is lethal if you leave him open. He just has a tendency to get out of control at times, resulting in TO's.
He is probably Baylor's best and most consistent player thus far, which is saying a lot because they are a top 10 team.
I hope the Jazz get a workout with Quincy Miller and Terrence Ross.

Will have to do some research on Ross. Or PKM can give us his cliff notes.
I think Terrence Ross is the guy the coaches hoped CJ Miles would be.
Looking at the players in the 11 - 15 range on Draft Express, I'm pretty optimistic. They've got:
Jeremy Lamb, Quincy Miller, Meyers Leonard, and Terrence Ross. The Jazz should get a good rotation player.
Sign me up for Quincy Miller and Tony Wroten if we get 2 picks.

I would be happy with any of these guys : Jeremy Lamb, Quincy Miller, or MKG. I like Meyers Leonard size but where are the minutes for him? I don't know enough about Ross. I really liked Wroten when I saw him play for USA juniors but I haven't really seen him play since so I don't know if I would take him. My biggest question about him is his attitude. Jazz need a Earl Watson type of player (more mentality than physically) to be our PG.
I've watched a lot of Ross as he was a high school teammate of Terrence Jones and they were best friends. All of my concerns about Ross, other than one, centers around maturity or needing better coaching (that's a compliment).
He gets burned on defense quite a bit, but it's not a result of being limited physically (though he's not super long, for sure), but rather him just over-playing and going for too many steals and such. I see that is highly fixable. He chucks a lot (bad shot selection), but he makes big shots, so another area I believe is highly fixable (though no guarantee - see CJ).
What I like - His athleticism. He has an 'it' factor (extreme confidence). He hits big shots.
What I don't like - He doesn't strike me as overly smart (also known as kinda dumb).
What I see - Best case is, like someone else said, a more complete CJ. Worst case is CJ. Depends on whether he's coachable and can get it.
