rather secure a 1st then lose on a late 2nd....Clipps wont lose em anyways, they're only 1-2games apart for top 4-5 spots.

After tonight's win, really don't see us overtaking either Philly or Minny.
I'm more concerned about Orlando, tbh.

Guys you should watch are Kaminsky and Especially Decker.
Decker is Reggie Millers favorite player in the tourney.
He is a "Gamer" Watch these two if they come up big against Kentucky rather
they win or not I would consider Decker moving on up.
Excelllent Mechanics and dead on 3 for 6-9 and can get to the hoop like Ginobli
I guess i'm somewhat of a hater but I am skeptical of Kaminsky being elite in the pros...hard to ignore his stats though but we haven't seen a top 10 C/PF that's "white" that actually turned out very good in the last several years.
Agree, Kaminski will be out muscled at the next level when defending 4's and too slow when switched on 3's. Dekker will be a bench player if he hangs on, his defense at the next level will be putrid.NBA Moses wrote:LApwnd wrote:NBAWestFan wrote:Have watch Kentucky or Duke much but know they have mostly 1 year players.

You will get a good idea what Kaminsky can or can't do in the nba when he has to go up against those treees of Kentucky(this saturday).Don't think it will be pretty for for Frank the Tank saturday. IF Wisconsin wins this game Kaminski has to show up bigtime and I just dont see that happening
He looked a little soft and alotta slow this past weekend.
Dekker? Meh looks like an overseas player to me. Great tournament so far but I'm not buying his act in the nba.

the current lottery system started back in 1990.(25 years)
Since then the #4 slot as finished post lottery 6th or 7th 4 times(16.667%)
The #4 slot has finished #1 overall 2 times
The #5 slot has finished 6 or 7 11 times(44%)
Surprisingly the #5 slot has actually finished #1 5 times(20.8%) well above statistical avg. (8.8 %)

If the Lakers stayed at four or five, I'd still take Myles Turner (over Winslow/Johnson, over WCS, and over Kaminsky).
It's still Towns or Turner for me with the high pick and a Clarkson upgrade at PG with the low pick (I still think a team like Milwaukee might be interested in Clarkson for their first rounder if Lakers took OJ Mayo's contract off their books).
I draft for need, but if I was staring at a PG that I thought to better than Clarkson and there was a great possibility to sell high on Clarkson (Milwaukee first rounder + Mayo), I'd do it.

isn't Turner another tweener that will be forced to play PF as well? would stunt one of their growth if both Turner/Randle are trying to solidify the 4 spot.

No, Turner's a center--gets rebounds, blocked shots (3rd highest rate in NCAA), and shoots. His stock is down because he runs like Kendrick Perkins, is weak as hell right now, and is very slow footed and unathletic.
I've never seen his mix of rebounding, shot blocking, and shooting before though, think of a less athletic Raef LaFrentz with much more dynamic rim protection and rebounding.
