6. Kaminsky...Bench player @ best.
7. Tyus Jones...Too short, will get eaten alive by NBA PG's.
8. Kelly Oubre... It'll be yrs before we see him on the court.


How so? He measured over 6'0 barefoot which means he's over 6'1 in shoes. 6'1 isn't all that short for an NBA PG.


5 years ago I would agree with you, but todays NBA the average point guard is something like 6'2 or 6'3.

1-2 inches doesn't matter all that much. Does 3-4 inches make a difference? Sure. Does 1-2 make a difference? Hardly, especially with a guy like Jones who has a high bball IQ and can shoot.

With only a 1-2 inch difference, one's skills matter far more than height.

Okafor - as good as advertised on offense, but his defense is atrocious (whether due to lack of effort or ability).
Cameron Payne - Unless he can start finishing at the rim I think this guy is in for a ceiling of mediocrity.

Wow! There's a lot of Tyus Jones love on this board. Shabazz Napier & Tyler Enis ...how did they do last season?

Okafor. I think he's likely to have a nice career and score a lot of points. However I don't think you can build a legit NBA contender with a center who is as bad a defender as Okafor is likely to be at the NBA level.
