Spacing is going to be important for Favors and Kanter. I'm just worried that opposing PGs will sag off of Marshall to cover the passing lanes and double the post. Marshall has to keep people honest with his jumper at a minimum. Lillard looks like a guy who can score 25 pts. inside and out. The question is his passing. What we really need is a Kendall Lillard.
On another note, I still think Quincy Miller has potential to be a franchise player. He is just a freshman coming off an ACL injury and just didn't get the ball in positions to score and seemed to defer to Acy and PJIII. Miller at the high post with Favors and Kanter would be just awfully tough to defend.

Miller appeared kind of unathletic, it could have been the knee injury, but it is something that concerns me.

I agree on Quincy's potential, but there's no way Lillard is capable of scoring 25ppg in the NBA. Sorry...just no.

He's more athletic than he showed at Baylor this year, but even pre-injury he wasn't thought to be a world class athlete.
I'm not saying he'd average 25 pts., but he can go for 25 pts. He's a talented offensive player. He averaged over 24 pts. while shooting 47% at Weber State.

Misunderstood you, I guess. My bad.

I think we can all at least agree that the NBA world will be buzzing if we end up getting the Warriors' pick and taking Lillard at 9 or so. If it were the Knicks and KOC made that pick then it would potentially get him canned after the first year if Lillard didn't show promise. Here he can be a bust and I could see KOC retaining his job.

I want a PG more than anything else, and I'm pretty sure Rivers will be more fitted to play at the 2. I can see him getting some time at PG, but it's not where he'll play the majority of his minutes, IMO, nor should it be.
If we get two picks in the lottery, I say grab Marshall and either Miller, Lamb, or Rivers. Then hope Darius Miller falls to us in the 2nd. That would be my ideal draft.
