Okay ... we have Lillard .. Marshall .. PJonesIII .. MKG .. Tjones .. Jlamb .. Sullinger .. QMiller .. every time we have a game, we have a wave .. fun times.

Are these just random players you like or players we should be watching for because the Jazz might get them at their pick? I don't want Sullinger, for the record.

Barnes is very underrated by this board.

Whats Barnes ceiling in the league and who would you compare him to? I'm one of the guys underrating him since EARLY last year. I think he is a better than average shooter (44% from the field and 37% from 3 for his career), but not great. He's not Ray Allen, and few are, but he also has very average athleticism, he's not a guy thats gonna get you even 6-8 points a night just at the line because he's primarily a spot up shooter (and will be more so in the NBA, IMO), average at best handles, "eh" defender, only averages 5 boards at 6'8" in college, not a great passer, doesn't seem to be a vocal leader or spark plug to his team.

I don't hate the kid, but I just want someone to really tell me why I am underrating him. I've said many times, I'm willing to be wrong, but how much of the above is wrong and why?

I think both the Jazz and the Suns would be natural fits for Lillard on draft night.

Damian Lillard's season may be over, but his 29 pts, 10 reb, 7 assts impressed scouts again. I think he'll be a Top 10 pick in the NBA Draft
 
I wonder if his stock is really that high......Top 10 seems a little much. Isn't this draft super loaded with talent?
Can't believe I missed his last game...nuts

I am completely with you on this one and my business partner is in love with Barnes.

If I was going to give him a compaison I would say glen rice.
 
Talking BPA in the draft if pjIII falls to 10 you have to take him.

I don't want Sullinger. I am just not impressed.

T jones jumped off that bandwagon a long time ago. Wouldn't scream if we drafted him just don't want him. Maybe because he has proven he is a face up 4 vs a 3/4

I don't remember what my point was, lol. But it wasn't players I necessarily want for the Jazz. So ... ??

I think all of the above is mainly correct .. in every pick there's a bit of gut feeling. I have a gut feeling about Barnes, Rivers, and several others ..
