Following potential 2012 draftees

[orangello]

Rivers and Marshall are two of the best leaders in this draft, and both happen to be in our range. If we have two picks, I could see us getting both of them actually.

That is a little too much North Carolina influence for my liking.

Marshall has the best chance of coming in and being recognized as a young team leader, IMO. Everyone knows I love Lillard but I recognize what Marshall can bring, and I like it.

Who's the better shooter Beal or Rivers?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I see Sullinger putting numbers on bad teams. He will be able to rebound and his jumper is pretty good. Maybe he can become a homeless man's Kevin Love.

Or a rich man's Ike Diogou. Same thing.

Kemba Walker had 'it' too, but can he pull it off at the NBA level?

Kemba has no talent on his team. Henderson, Mullins, BB, Tyrus Thomas and the list goes on. If Kemba was on the Jazz this year and he got consistent minutes I could honestly see him being a dangerous weapon.

Beal.

Most would take Beal. More complete player.

I think Rivers has more natural ability .. and more 'it.'

 

[Dr. Jones]

Beal and Rivers are completely in how they get there but fairly similar .. I just love how Rivers will NOT be denied.

I've only seen him play in the tournament, but it was enough to sell me on him. I thought his game looked like E. Gordon, and seems like a safe pick to me. I'm hoping his size scares teams away. I've said before I can see Him, Burks, and Hayward playing at the same time.

Beal will be long gone by 8 or 9. DX has him at 5, Ford at 3. And I don't see KOC trading up for a position we have two young capable players at.

 

[BluesRocker]

I am praying everyday that we get these picks.

How about we luck out and take Rivers at 13 and we move from 8 to 3 and select Kidd-Ghilchrist.
And Rivers goes on to be the next Deron Williams without the attitude.


Sometimes I wonder if I actually like the draft better than the games. This has been fun the last few years picking high. It's addicting.
