Anthony Davis is a Lebron-type talent, Drummond has no motor, Barnes isn't a very good athlete, Beal is the next Ray Allen, Thomas Robinson is the most NBA-ready player from the draft.

lol - I remember hearing all of these remarks over and over again pre-draft.

The scouts failed miserably this year.

Granted, you can find dumb comments from scouts about every player every single year.

2 steals - and an assist, and another gorgeous Pau-Gasol esque pass that didn't result in an assist. That's the thing people don't know about him - he's a fantastic passer, but he never gets the ball unless it's next to the rim, when he does and should just try to dunk it.

Could have been the youngest player to get a 20/20 game and the third Player EVER to do it in30 minutes or less if Frank had left him in for 2 more minutes...kind of annoyed it didn't happen.
