Following potential 2012 draftees

I like everything about Jeff Taylor, except his sudden shooting surge as a senior, and that he's got T-Rex arms. The latter point in particular bothers me when considering that Hayward's arms are pretty short as well.

I think Miller is more of a sure thing since his shooting can't be chalked up as a fluke and definitely has at least respectable length. But I basically see choosing between the two as a crapshoot.

That part bothers me as well. He shot sub 10% as a soph .. yikes. Anyway, I like all 4 of those guys .. DLamb because I think he's got the ability to play PG and has a career 47% 3pt award.
 
Sorry if this has already been talked about, but hoopshype.com is reporting that the Hornets are shopping the 10th pick, but whoever wants the pick has to either take on Ariza's or Okafor's contract. Is the 10th pick worth having if we have to take on one of those two players, and what would we have to give up? I'm thinking not much if they are wanting to dump salary.

I would take a serious look at Okafor and #10 ..

That's GST, TOR, CLE, NOH, and HOU all talking trading early picks (am I missing someone?).
 
Yeah, Lamb is an amazing shooter. He is kind of small though, and he's maybe not quite fundamentally developed enough (other than his tremendous shot) to play PG in the NBA at least for a while. I do think you could probably find a matchup that he could defend in most situations, but he's not very versatile defensively IMO.
He is decently quick, and his shooting cannot be overstated.

That's mostly fair, imo.

bbIQ - HAS IT, period.
Offense - as you said.
Defense - very solid, but certainly not elite (adequate? Yes.)

Not a whole lot of experience running point is a downside.
Not very athletic (I bet his vert is underwhelming).

Yeah, I've only seen him play two games. So I was hoping those were valid observations.

Would they take Jefferson's expiring contrat for the pick+Okafor, or Bell and Harris for pick+Okafor?
