Less than 4 months until the lottery! Can't wait to get bent over by the lottery and then blow the pick!

Looking through DX, after Muhammed and McLemore there are NO more good 3 pt shooters.

CJ McCollum is probably the next best after those two. He was hot before breaking his foot.

If we draft McCollum, the bones in his feet will disintegrate and everything below the ankle will just be like a fleshy jello sock.

Maybe I should've clarified. I meant at SG. I see McCollum being an NBA point.

I don't watch college basketball, so I'm no authority, but just after browing DX, Muhammed, McLemore and Noel are the only prospects I'm excited about.
Also Otto Porter just because he's a small forward shooting 45% from 3. I don't actually know anything else about him.

I see him as a bench scoring combo guard. Can play both. Jamal Crawford + Barea.

Same here.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt

I like his upside but he definitely has some question marks. Can't create for himself on offense, which I feel is something we desperately need. He can shoot around screens and hit open shot from players setting him up. He's a pretty smart basketball player, which leads me to believe that he'll put in the work to improve and last in this league making the right plays and knocking down shots. I don't think he'll be that great of a defender out on the perimeter though. Lacks that mobile quickness.
I'd be curious to see how he would turn out if he learned a thing or two under AK. I think with Belly more than likely coming over and with Chase hopefully coming back, we won't need to look at the 3 in this draft.
If we can get into the top 5 and deal Williams to move up a few spots (if he's still with us come draft night) to grab McLemore, Shabazz, or Noel, it needs to be done.

Belly will be an NBA 4.
I'd compare Porter to Prince

I've actually liked Len, and this sealed it

Also, remember that he's an international player (Ukraine), and we seem to like them.

Re: NCAA Basketball Thread / 2013 Draft Targets
With the right highlight reel, I can convince myself that anyone is good. That being said, I could get on board with Alex Len as long as he can be a decent shot blocker.
Speaking of shot blockers what's the story with Jeff Withey?

Re: NCAA Basketball Thread / 2013 Draft Targets
It's a shame Derrick Williams has played so poorly against the Bobcats, but I really think Charlotte would go for a Williams+Min 1st for Cha 1st+filler trade. With a lot of good big men around 6-12, where our pick will be, they could go 2 for 1 to upgrade their frontcourt, which is pretty abysmal. If they have something like the 2nd pick in the draft, we'd get either McLemore or Shabazz guaranteed.
I'm leaning more towards Shabazz, because he is the one with the most superstar potential, while he also can create his own shot. We need a natural scorer on our team if we are going to win, because we have a lot of good utility players.

Re: NCAA Basketball Thread / 2013 Draft Targets
We should just tank the rest of the season and go after Shabazz or Mclemore

Re: NCAA Basketball Thread / 2013 Draft Targets
Alex Len is like a Meyers Leonard with more authority. Not that we couldn't use him but if we're tanking, we need to get in the top 5 and use Williams to get into top 3 if that's possible.
