Following potential 2015 draftees

[Carbon13]

Maybe my standards are low, but I just want a player who can make shots. Don't care what he looks like or if he's 6'8" or 6'4"...please, let's just draft a "making" guard.

Yeah thats a fair point. I am on board with that.

I really like Booker. If you think about it, Calipari held him in higher regard than even Russell as Russell wasnt really recruited by Kentucky. That must tell you something!

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Totally forgot OSU was playing today.... Russell appears to be having one of his worse games of the year thus far.

That Calipari just recruits on rankings?

 

[bigmike]

Yeah the idea that Booker > Russell is just silly.

That said, I do like him.

Haha yeah, probably. By no means do i think Booker is better than Russell. I think Russell is the best player in this draft. I just am saying it at least tells you something about Bookers talent that he was regarded so highly.

What about shots that he could make, but can't get off because of long, fast help defenders of the NBA?
It's not as destructive as a missed shot, but it reduces his value unquestionably.

That has less to do with height than it does release point and shot quickness.

Towns looking good, but he is playing against players who are so small.

Exactly. Jazz guards are getting plenty of looks. They're usually not having to shoot with a hand in their face. They just can't make shots.

Yeah thats true.

Oubre had a bounce-back game: 18 pts on 6/9 shooting, with 4/6 from 3-pt. Also had 6 rebs.
