Following potential 2012 draftees

For the record, I watched one Baylor game this year (since college basketball is mind-numbing to watch), and Baylor's offense consisted of zero to two passes, wings either not touching the ball or just being swung to in order to enter the ball into the post, and almost every shot that wasn't Quincy Acy's was not good. Maybe Miller has a chucking problem, but I don't think him hardly even touching the ball helps with that.

Again, the Jazz might be pretty well set as it is. You don't often get a chance at all-world talent. I think this culture of toughness, team ball, and camaraderie that the Jazz have going on - especially with a good PG - could change the entire discussion on the kid.

You're asking if Quincy Miller, a 6' 9" SF with a 7' 4" wingspan, is more able to matchup physically with Kevin Durant than a guy that's 6' 8" in shoes, and with a 6' 8" wingspan?

If he can't play defense his size is nearly irrelevant.
 
OT: Curious to hear unbiased opinions as to whether this should have been called a technical (for hanging on the rim).

Hard to tell on the angle. Was there anyone around the rim that he could have used as an excuse to hang?

Just because someone has better physical traits doesn't mean they are better equipped to handle Durant or Labron. I've only seen Q. Miller play 3 times, but in my opinion he doesn't seem to have the it factor or the drive to even think about guarding a guy like Durant, and Miller doesn't seem to have much of a motor to go all out.

Hayward is the most underrated player on this team. It bothers me when I hear someone say Hayward is over matched. Poor Hayward no matter what he does and shows us on the court, can't get any credit. What more does he need to do to prove he isn't a defensive liability! He has never been or looked overwhelmed playing against anyone. How quick everyone forgets how foolish he made Kobe look as a rookie. Kobe is regarded as on of the best closer's in the history of the NBA, and Kobe couldn't even get his shot off. He's one of the best defenders on the team, has a high motor good intangibles, and most important he competes at a high level every second of every game and isn't ever scared of any matchup. It's time to give Hayward his due and realize this is only his second year, he will only get stronger and better.

I've said this since the end of last year, but Hayward will be a stud at both ends of the court. I'm sorry but Q. Miller doesn't have what Haywards got.

I think it has less to do with people think Hayward is outmatched more than their idea that Hayward is a 2-Guard and they don't want to ruin that notion by bringing in another 2 guard.

Yep, Hayward's a 2. Preferably.
And that's why we wanna draft a 3.
The problem is WHO.
