Following potential 2012 draftees

I'll hop on the Lilliard bandwagon after the combine measurements.

Possibly. I still like the idea of an elite passer bringing out the best of The Four. I want to see them all reach their full potential, especially Favors, and I really believe that Marshall could help them do that.

I'm a super homer of Marshall's passing.
I just don't like the idea of there being a big defensive weakness in the lineup of "The Four". Especially at the PG position with the PnR's and what not. That's why I'm holding out till combine results to see how bad Marshall's lateral quickness is compared to Lilliard. If it's marginal, go with Marshall. If Lilliard is superior, go with him.

Not a bad idea. Personally though, Lillard's level of competition scares me more than Marshall's potential defensive liability.

Lilliard's level of competition is a 2 way thing.
1: His opponents suck and 2: His teammates suck.
If his teammates suck real bad, Lilliard then has to carry the load on his back. That means he is overall a much better player than we think he is. If Lilliard is scoring in volume, he probably takes time off on defense. Then you gotta wonder if he's better defensively too than we've seen.
But if his opponents suck bad, then you worryabout the D-League effect (think Morris Almond).

So Lilliard could either be much better than we think or much worse. Kind of like Alec Burks.

True. The difference is that even though Burks didn't play great competition, it was still better than what Lillard has been going up against. I hope I don't sound like a Lillard hater...if we get him, then I'll support the decision. I'm just very hesitant about him atm.

Ach, soooo many 3 point kick outs.
And 3 point kickout in a fast break is a usually terrible choice. I don't know whether to blame his wings or him.
1:44 is impressive....actually a lot of passes from the Montana game are impressive.

SwishScout.com doesn't believe in his passing skills.
