No, you really can't. First off this guy is no where near their talent.

Score-first players have lower assist to turnover ratios, whether they're D.Wade or CJ Miles. Jimmer had an assist:turnover ratio of 1.2 and he's supposed to be a PG. I'm not saying Marshon Brooks is a Kobe or Lebron. I'm saying he looks like a very talented scorer who scored efficiently in the Big East as his team's #1 option. He has a true position and a game that should translate well to the pros.

I'm not sure how I feel about this in regard to basketball but I am in total agreement with the NFL Draft and college seniors. Akili Smith, Ryan Leaf, the list goes on and on.
NONE of those player average more turnovers than assists. Not Kobe, not Lebron, not Wade, not even Chucker Juice. Not even OJ Mayo. For a player to average more turnovers than assists in the NCAA is a significant red-flag. Especially since if this kid wants minutes at this level he's going to have to learn to play team-first.
Thanks. I think he plays chucker ball too.
Based on what, exactly? His pedestrian strength and athleticism, or that he plays for himself first (even if he still plays hard)?
The fact that he just exploded his senior year also points to that (he plays primarily for himself). I'm sure you can say that for most, but it shouldn't be so obvious.
Charles Jenkins is more of a reach positionally (big PG/small SG), but way less of a reach as someone that you can put on the court and play 5-on-5 (less turnovers, more assists, [> 2:1 ratio] better PPS, better shooting % across the board, also has been productive since his freshman year and got gradually better as he went). I guess that's the reason he's higher on some mock drafts.

Not bad. That puts him in the same company as Karl Malone and Dennis Rodman.
Yeah, but those guys had the game to back it up.
I'm kidding. This isn't good. Marshon Brooks is by no means a "brand" at this stage.

There is going to be a lot of buzz about Brooks, Selby, and Burks simply because they are all high risk, high reward picks. If you get annoyed or carried away with this kind of stuff, you should just tune out. Burks is the only one I'd take at 12, and I'd make him Hornacek's bitch his entire rookie season.

i was joining to the bandwagon but, c'mon! I can't stand big egos.
He just seems like a guy who's ceiling is probably JR Smith. A chucker who can come off the bench and possibly ignite your team. Last time I check we already have CJ Miles.

This. Pick 12 is probably too much. I'd rather grab Singleton.
Thought you would like to see this about Brooks from the Bleacher Report -

Is that going to help him be sane or play on a team?
It might help him defensively.
In college he blocked more shots than most or all SG's, and now I can see why.... the wingspan.
It will help him play on a team defensively, and should help him to be able to get his shot off.
Basically I am passing on some information I thought was interesting.
You can continue to be a dink, or you can say, "Thanks for the info Spazz".
Thanks for the info Spazz.
His wingspan won't help what plagues his reputation and neither does his interview. The wingspan is tantalizing, but you can't do anything without a brain.
I didn't know his rep was that bad. I saw how he was speaking in 3rd person.
If he's that bad it will plague him for years until he grows up.
