Following potential 2013 draftees

[Dr. Jones]

I've heard Oladipo is sliding.. not that that means anything come draft day.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

Texas ddint have much talent at all this year and not many players who can put the ball in the basket..

Unfair to compare him to Marshall..Kendall had tons more talent around him then Kabongo

That's why I asked about the talent level of Texas.

Makes sense. He was being wildly overrated during the regular season.

David Thorpe on his TrueHoop TV segment is calling Burke the #1 PG in the draft and thinks he's on par or even a small step above Lillard.

Just putting that out there.

Can he play SF in the NBA? Probably not.. wouldn't mind moving up to get him if he could.

David Thorpe is a hack. He never liked Kanter.

David Thorpe is a hack. Didn't he train Fesenko and call him "White Shaq"?

I would be scared to take Giannis with either Jazz first round pick.
He just so young and raw.
Greece has had some players drafted last few years.
Seems like all of them have been duds.
And African players have not done well either last few years.
Unless they are a top five type player I would stay away from international players in the mid first round.
Stick with American college players.
But I could be entirely wrong.

sound argument. I am still hoping for McCollum, dieng and wolters

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I don't think David Thorpe is a hack. He trained Fesenko one summer, and said he would either be great or out of the league depending on how hard he worked.

FYI - Jamal Franklin is entering the draft.

Is he worth a look?

Jamaal Franklin, SG, Jr., San Diego State
Franklin does it all -- he was the only D-I player to lead his team in scoring (17 points per game), rebounding (9.5 rpg), assists (3 apt) and steals (1.6 spg). He is one of the best athletes in the draft and the best rebounding guard in the nation this season. He uses strength, length, explosive leaping ability and a terrific motor to get things done all over the floor. While his jump shot is still a major work in progress, Franklin's toughness and do-it-all attitude made him one of the best wings in the country. Look for him to be a late lottery to mid first-round pick.

Happy BONGO day everyone.

Hope you have a chance to share it with family and friends.
