Following potential 2012 draftees

[Park Bites]

I have been concerned with this as well. Last night my view on this changed though. I was watching the Magic/Celtic game and I watched Glen Davis play. He is not explosive. He does not have good length. He does not even average athleticism. Despite what he doesn't have, there is one thing that he does have. An NBA career. He seems to get the game and he uses his body to his advantage.

I am not saying that Davis and O'Quinn are the same type of players but it just rang true to me that if O'Quinn has the motor and the IQ, then he could find a long career in the NBA.

Those are just my thoughts.

O'Quinn could be this years brad miller. If Jeff foster can find a place in the nba so can o'quinn.

Well said.

I think he is talking about our pick situation. This thread sucks now because our chances of getting any picks outright is low.

Actually, PKM had it right.

For Bodhi .. back to topics.

Interesting tidbit on Jones is that he is 4th all-time at UK in blocks per game. Behind only Davis, Bowie, and Magloire. Not bad for a 3/4 tweener.

...or a sophomore.

Article praising KOC. I didn't want to make a new thread....

I like the idea of a big line-up with Favors, Kanter, Jones and Hayward. That team would defend and rebound at a high level.

Edit: I'd also jump at the chance to take Andre Drummond if we were in the lotto and got lucky. Having to play against Favors and Drummond would be just demoralizing.

For those few minutes on the court that Drummond decided to play .. I get what you're saying though.

It kinda feels like PKM is the host to this thread. He greets you at the door and says How can I help you.

I think he deserves tips.

He is kinda like the bathroom attendant guy. You really don't want his help, but you feel bad if you don't let him help you.

So here's my tip.

Grow up NERD!


Lol. I'm just playing PicKeM. I like you.


Hey did you read that article on KOC? It's pretty good. The writer happened to mention that Jeremy Lamb has Allstar caliber potential. What do you think?

Well, there's that word, POTENTIAL. Very difficult to ever say someone doesn't have the potential to do something. There is the potential that I will someday be a bathroom attendant .. though not likely, imo. Understand?

I've been consistent since page 1 of this thread in ranking my 2G's.

1) Beal
2) Rivers
3) JLamb

There was a time there when you were saying you would draft Rivers over Beal. I'm almost positive.

I get it. That's why I'm not so high on Drummond. But Lamb has produced.
