Following potential 2015 draftees

If we ranked Exum's defense amongst point guards where would he rank?

Exum has the physical talent to be a Scottie Pippen-caliber defender at the PG spot. Like serious lock-down. His hands and feet are that quick.

There's nothing in this draft that justifies Exum + 3 first-round picks. Nothing.

Exum alone is probably a top-5 prospect in this draft.

This.


I reckon he'd probably go 5th after Russell & Mudiay if he was in this draft.

I like Exum better than pretty much anyone in this draft, but I'm a homer and I really like Exum. Work ethic is nearly always the most important tool for anyone regardless of the profession. I think Exum will prove to have a superior work ethic.

In regard to the Russell/Curry comparison, somebody mentioned Curry is a once in a decade shooter. It's true and a very good point. Russell isn't the shooter Curry is and may never be. However, Russell might be a once in a decade passer and he's bigger than Curry. He has Jason Kidd-like feel for the game and passing ability. Add to that he is a very good shooter, and just as important, with his quick lefty release, can get his shot just about whenever he wants. He may also have a little James Harden in him in terms of his ability to get to the basket and both finish and draw fouls. Such a sexy prospect.

Once in a decade passer?! I'm sorry, but I just can't agree with that. I mean, Rajon Rondo, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, I mean even Kendal Marshall would be better passers. Russell is a flashy passer, and he has good vision, but I don't think he's a generational talent when it comes to passing. He's still a very good player though! I think a weaker Harden would be his ceiling, and that would be an awesome player to have!

Exum is already locking down guys like Tony Parker and Mike Conley! He had a few plays on Conley that were absolutely incredible, that maybe 1 or 2 other guys in the league could do. He's an exceptional defender. He's going to be a top 5 PG in 3 years IMO!

Not sure if anyone has noticed, but Curry has also become an elite passer.

Yeah I noticed that, but whether that is a function of his shooting or not is another story (i.e., getting double/tripple teamed makes others wide open).

So Chad Ford apparently thinks Malik Pope is a potential late-lottery pick. I know nothing about him. He's a 6'10" long, rail-thin leaper who can apparently shoot a bit.

Anyone heard of him?

Chad'a reaching. UK recruited Malik a little bit a couple years ago, so yeah, I followed him a bit.
I don't see first round much less lottery.

Dude is a bean pole.

I'm not optimistic about the Brooklyn Nets getting above us in the standings. We need Boston to play well in order for us to end up 10th.
