Following potential 2012 draftees

What do you like about him? I love his rebounding and I've been impressed with his defense. He doesn't seem to have either a great shot or great handles .. so I don't see him with a particularly high ceiling. Help me see what you're seeing.

Near elite athleticism. He reminds me of Griffin some, just not as strong. But he has things you can't teach. Insane hops. Aggression. An ability to finish with authority. He could start on someone like the Wiz and grab around 10 boards and block around 2 shots as a rookie. Someone will draft him around 40. And they'll be ecstatic.

Fair enough, I can see all that.
 
Royce White and Drew Gordon would be a great combination to have on the floor at the same time. That would create some problems for opponents.

He'll have to in order to impress the scouts. With his major negative being a sub-par work ethic, he could be making or breaking his draft position .. as we speak.

I think Royce is a guaranteed 1st rounder. A good team would love a player like him. His coach is probably talking him up to every team, and Royce is quite talented to boot. His passing and ball-handing skills don't normally belong to person his speed and build.

Oh, I totally agree. I'm speaking of where he's taken in the 1st. I think he could go anywhere from 16 - 28. (numbers completely made up, btw)

Lottery is too high for him. I also think the lottery is too high for Lillard too. Sorry all you Ogdenites.

More worthless drivel .. but I spoke with a scout today (Boston) and asked why, in his opinion, Barnes slipped so much. He answered immediately with, 'ball-handling.' He said Barnes is viewed as being very limited offensively mostly for that reason. Nothing really knew, except it comes from someone who gets paid to evaluate.

I'd just like to say that I said this way back at the beginning of his freshman year and got trashed for it. Boom bitches.
 
Any shot we could buy a pick? And what types of teams typically sell them off, and for how much? I felt like the Kerr-Suns sold off a low 1st rounder two years in a row.

Jazz are trying to pull something off around late lottery. (I've heard talks failed with HOU but their calls are still going out)
I don't know the specific answers to your questions, though.
