PG's cant shoot either, only PG that might go in 1st round that can shoot above average is Marcus Paige.

Some good shooters at the SG position tho, LeVert (maybe can play some PG), Russell, Vaughn and Hunter are all mocked as 1st rounders by Draftexpress.


Winslow can definitely shoot.

I don't know who we need to draft if the tank keeps rolling but I guess it doesn't matter Cho will take BPA more than likely.

I like Myles Turner a lot. 6-11 240 C from Texas.

12pts, 7rebs and 3.3 blocks in 20 MINUTES. Also shooting 36% from 3 and 83% from the line.

I look forward to seeing how he does against Kentuckys bigs on the 5th.

Meh, I don't think he's an elite college shooter, so don't think that'll be high up on his list of positives for a while.

I would LOVE to get him. Him and MKG on defense and in transition would be magical.

I actually like Tyus Jones more than I do either of Winslow or Okafor.

Gotta disagree there. I see Jones as a better shooting Tyler Ennis. Too short and not quick enough to be an elite NBA PG IMO.

We'll probably pick either a center or a SG. My #1 SG right now is Caris LeVert he is 6-7, 40% 3pter and he can play PG some.

Yes sir. Might be homerish, but from a talent perspective only Kentucky is better than Duke, and that team is amazing.

Marcus Smart was projected 2 in the 2013 draft and he's a D-leaguer who couldn't crack a terrible Celtics roster. The way they talk about Mudiay reminds me of Smart.

Mudiay is Strong like Smart, but the difference is Mudiay is 6'5 with pure PG skills and can shoot from outside. He is the real deal.
