Following potential 2013 draftees

Wow. I had really high hopes for Harrow this season, too. Kentucky is broken.

I think it's likely we stand pat or move up to the 8-12 range for a PG we fall in love with (I'm partial to CJ McCollum). I'm hoping we draft McCollum, re-sign Sap, Foye, and Mo, and let Jefferson walk.

I would really like our squad:

PG - Mo Williams/CJ McCollum
SG - Burks/Hayward/Foye
SF - Hayward/Marvin Williams
PF - Millsap/Favors/Marvin Williams
C - Favors/Kanter/(4th Big)

Just let the young guys grow. Give CJ two years to show he's our franchise point guard.

I was confident Curry could be a good PG because on top of his shooting, he has a decent handle, and he is reasonable quick and agile. Can't say the same about Jimmer. Not sure about CJ though.

WTF? What have I been saying this whole season?

It's what we've all been saying. The FO won't go for it, though; no way they aim for the lottery under any circumstances. The best thing that could happen is that Sap and Al BOTH walk, despite their efforts to retain one of them. This would allow Favors and Kanter to both start, and possibly put us in the lottery of a loaded draft. If we don't make the lottery, then cool, cause it will be our young core that got us there, not the vet carnival.

In my eyes, CJ is likewise quick/agile and his handle is top-flight. I don't think the "PG/SG" label he gets is appropriate. The fact that he puts up 25 ppg and shoots the 3 at a 52% clip doesn't make him a 2-guard. He's a lead ballhandler and should not be playing off the ball. One could look at his assist #'s and question his playmaking ability. But when sets are called to free you up for a jump shot, it's not fair to do that.
 
Just watched some of DX's McCollum scouting video. 49% on jumpers off the dribble? Better than 50% coming off screens? Yikes.

I think the reason he gets called a combo is because he doesn't pass the ball, not because he scores a lot..

You mean why are we talking about Burke?

Um..... No.
PKM said:
He'll probably go 9/10 in a STACKED draft.. That's why I said if we could trade our GSW plus Paul or Al for a top 10 next year..

I doubt we can get a top ten pick in next years loaded draft by trading al, or Millsap, and a pick likely to be low to mid 20's. We'd have to also throw in Favorsor Kanter or Hayward

sorry. My Turd is bigger then yours.

Maybe the best thing to do is to play out this year, get a decent draft pick, let the FAs walk, start the full-on youth movement and have our own Top-12 draft pick next year.

Like PKM said, draft whichever PG we can--Kabongo, BJ Young, etc., get another rotation player, and think of next year as the draft to get one more elite piece.

Then we'd have (Kagongo), Burks, Hayward (maybe Otto Porter), Favors, Kanter. That would give us a good player at every position, and we could add either a PG or a wing in the '14 draft depending on who's BPA.

under that plan I would think that team is better then this years vet heavy team

Not necessarily. I just expect Marvin to opt-in for $7.5M next season.
