Official 2012 NBA Draft Thread

[RManske2]

In watching the Ohio State/Gonzaga game, I thought I heard one of the announcers talking about how Sullinger has one leg that is slightly longer than the other. Not sure if I heard that correctly or not. However, if that is true I think that may cause teams to be cautious about using a high pick on him due to the possibility of health issues in the long run (something about big guys from Ohio State...)

If Barnes' stock has dropped to the 7-9 range from this tourney, I'm down. Pair em with Kyrie.

 

[The Young One]

I don't think he falls out of the top 6..But I do believe he's played bad enough to wear MKG is clearly the better prospect in people's eyes

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I feel like he just hit a cold spell shooting wise at the exact wrong time. Happens to everyone, sometimes you can't even throw a ball into the ocean.

The thing is..He looked almost just as bad last year without Kendall when Larry Drew was starting..He can't create his own shot at all..A

Too me, the better question is, can he not do it at all, or does he refuse to do it?

I think he can, he has too much ability, but he has fallen too much in love with jump shots.

 

[The Young One]

I don't think he can personally

Word is the big 3 from Carolina are leaving and McAdoo is discussing his decision with his family

 

[elcheato]

Roy really underutilized McAdoo this year, but he'll still be a lottery pick easily.

 

[The Young One]

I think he has to leave..You can't pass up a top 7 lock

 

[RipCity32]

Man I can't wait for the lotto.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I hate dealing with people who think they know what they are talking about (and go to great lengths to prove that) but really have no clue. Some guy on the Hornets board says Sullinger is the third best prospect in this draft and is good defensively. LOL

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I love how Davis has the same release from everywhere on the floor.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Hornets fans wanting Brad Beal to pair with Eric Gordon

 

[Pugz]

Harrison Barnes has NBA size and shooting ability, but struggles with poor shot selection and a tendency to float on the perimeter.

"He's a lot like Glen Rice," one NBA scout said. "All he likes to do is shoot 3s."

Barnes shot 35.8 percent from beyond the arc during his sophomore season at North Carolina.

Chad Ford said Perry Jones killed it in his first workout as a SF.

I can here it, here comes the hype train.

 

[elcheato]

I'd say he's more interesting as a SF, because he's not going to do much as a PF.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Apparently Dion Waiters' stock is skyrocketing, according to Chad Ford. We really need to get more draft discussion going on here. I'll start it up:

MKG or Beal, who do you take and why?

 

[elcheato]

Depends on the situation. I'd definitely take MKG over Beal if my team had enough offense to where you're not depending on MKG to come in and score, because he needs development on offense.

However, it might be better for MKG to go to a team that lacks scoring so he can expand his game, in game instead of rarely being used. Hard decision.
