Following potential 2013 draftees

McGary is the MVP of this game so far.

He has been the MVP of their Tournament run.

McGary looks like he could be a mid first-rounder, in part because he's 6'10". His game is pretty limited, but he's tough and has a good IQ. Yeah, maybe you could compare him to David Lee. I was also thinking that he plays a Tyler Hansbrough kind of role, but he's a tad bigger and seems a bit more versatile. He'll probably end up a back-up PF in the NBA.

Picture Jeremy Evans with a tad less hops, but a solid dribble and passing game, as well as the ability to finish with either hand, plus shooting range out to international 3-pt range as an 18 year-old. My biggest concern is that he'll keep growing and have to play PF.

Giannis has very average, if not below average, explosive athletic ability. Tad less hops than Evans is an understatement.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I don't think you can judge him by this game alone. He had been pretty good in this tournament if you go back and look at his previous 2 games.

This might actually help us a bit if he slides.

Nah, but you can judge his 39% shooting percentage over the whole ****ing season, combined with 30% 3pt shooting.

MCW is not that bad.

Yes he is.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Gun to your head...

Olnyk or McGary?

McGary, even though I would consider Olnyk because he probably compliments Favors/Kanter better than McGary would. I think McGary will be the better player though.

Kelly > McGary FOR SURE.



McGary is a great college big, but lacks the skill and athleticism to be worth a lottery pick in the NBA draft.


Think about it-- a lot of his game predicates on his timing, and rebounding skills vs. college bigs. He won't get nearly as many offensive rebounds in the NBA.


Not to mention his 45% FT shooting in the tourney. His hands are probably his best attribute.

Uhh, rebounding is the one skill that is directly translatable from college to the NBA. McGary will still be a great rebounder. The thing I like most about him is that you can just tell he has a natural feel for the game. He isn't very skilled at this point, but I can easily see that changing in a few years given his soft hands and natural IQ.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

If I was McGary I would probably stay in school. He could be a lottery pick next year IMO.


Please shut-up about how next year's draft is loaded. Yes, it has star talent, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see more long term NBA players come from this draft.

Giannis has very average, if not below average, explosive athletic ability. Tad less hops than Evans is an understatement.

The Greek Freak also grew three inches in the last year. I'm sure he is still trying to figure out things. I actually expect him to become even more athletic than he is now.

There will be a few very good players, no doubt.. but there are ZERO, imo, that are 'can't miss' guys..

Nerlens Noel seems like a 'can't miss' guy to me actually, if I had the 1st pick in the draft I would undoubtedly draft him.

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

This draft is driving me insane.

My desires of this morning

Draft Burke, MCW, McCollum (in that order)

Then it gets complicated for me looking at BPA at the SF or Big. I think this draft has a lot of talent in the big category.

This. Draft GR3, McGary, Adetokunbo (in that order)

 

[Dr. Jones]

I may take McCollum before MCW. I'd be happy if we end up with him.

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

honestly at 14 or 17 where we will be drafting what group would you rather draft from? (if the top 4 pg are gone)

GR3, Franklin, Saric, Caldwell-Pope, Goodwin, Crabbe, Greek Freak VS Zeller, Len, McGary, Plumlee, Olynyk, Withey, gobert, Austin, Dieng, Adams, McAdoo

right now i am leaning towards taking a big first if the top 4 PG are gone

 

[Dr. Jones]

McCollum

 

[orangello]

I may take McCollum before MCW. I'd be happy if we end up with him.

I'm on that boat. I really have no interest in MCW unless he falls to the 20's.

I'm still at BPA.

I will also add that the Greek Freak has that complete bust or complete steal look to him. In this draft it wouldn't hurt to swing for the fences and miss.

Yes, he should become more fluid when he grows into his body, but I doubt he will ever be considered explosive.

Explosive, no; more athletic, yes.

 

[Chargers Jazz Angels]

as far as drafting BPA in this draft it is very hard to judge. this draft is very deep in bigs. this draft unlike drafts before teams will draft for needs first. word is that most teams agree that they are looking for rotational players before game changers.
