Following potential 2013 draftees

[Thee Jazz Fan]

no I see him in the late teens early 20s. I want 2 rookies on the roster this year so less vets will be signed this off season and Giannnis wont be coming over this year.

You need vets to win, they just shouldn't dominate the minutes.

What is smart > reality > what you want.

Wait, im confused.

Mccollum is always lumped in with burke and mcw and smart in discussions, and when i watch his highlight video it seems that he is playing point guard.... i have also seen another poster compare him to a poor mans steph curry.
All these things point to mccollum being a point guard yet you say dont draft him cause we dont need a SG?

What is he? Shooting guard or point guard?

(i like what i have seen of him btw and would we happy if we end up with him)

DX lists him as PG/SG. I believe he played PG for his team? Correct me if I'm wrong. He averaged 2.9 assists and 2.7 TO's.

I guess you can call him a combo guard?

Combo guards usually don't work out unless they are elite level athletes.

steph curry, jason terry, mo williams. Not elite athletes.

Or elite level shooters.... like curry

Something you must also take into consideration is CJ played for Lehigh .. NOT a good team. Their best offensive weapon, by far, was McCollum. He probably could have had much better assist numbers if he played on a better team.

That's really my main concern with McCollum for our team.

OK you can point to scorers like Steph Curry and Lillard as examples of guys who are able to play PG in the NBA. But you do need a good handle and can pass the ball.

Lillard averaged 4 assists and Curry averaged 5.6 assists in their last year of college respectively - so you can look at that have have some comfort as to their projection as a PG in the NBA. Also Lillard is quick and he can move, question whether McCollum has that quickness to play the PG.

I know, his teammates were like the equivalent of Robert Morris's whole team.
