Following potential 2014 draftees

Adreian Payne is one to watch as a late first maybe early second pick. he is a stretch 4 but plays solid defense. senior that will come ready to play now.

Wait the real question is, why does jako think of pkm as "the big one"?

Is jacko related to pkm?

Aren't you contradicting yourself? If he's not gonna play point in the NBA (i.e., your 2nd "NO"), and he says that he considers himself a PG, then that in itself is interesting, isn't it?


I mean, is he expected to play the SG in the NBA? Has he prepared himself well enough for that? He won't have the ball in his hand all the time, he'll have to try and get himself open, he'll have to improve that 3pt shot... etc, etc, etc.


Would he be ready for that????


- Curry played the PG pretty well, but if I remember correctly he played PG in his last year in college?

- Tyreke hasn't fared to well at the point guard position.

- Neither has Knight at the point.
 
Its simple, kkk... he cannot play PG in the NBA.. BUT he can be a very wing player.
No need to over analyze.

Thing is pretty simple right now:
His handles aren't tight enough to play PG.
He's having problems running over screens. Imagine Chris Paul abusing screens with triple quadruple crossover change of direction whatever moves. Won't work.
If he can develop the necessary skills in both areas he's probably with his above average playmaking skills the better fit at PG.
But same as MCW: I don't think he can ever defend a PG for 48 min.
Other than MCW: He's got different qualities allowing him to shine at SG!

Look at the available situations where he'd land:
Sixers(If they get out-lottery'd and MCW sucks big time they might take him with a 3rd pick if Randle is not available)
Suns(Might be a good fit there, as Bledsoe hasn't shown natural point guard skills too often. So starting plays from the 2 spot might be good for them)
Jazz(Yeah if Burke shows no promise, he might fit in)
Celtics(They have no position penciled in yet. They'll take BPA and make him face of the franchise after Rondo getts dealt)
Magic(They'll look more for an inside player I guess, but Exum might be possibility for both guard spots. Doubt it though)
Kings(They have to take BPA with all the DMC turmoil and uncertainties)
