Someone on Twitter just compared him to Sam Cassell.
His creating moves were Ben Gordon esque without the anklebreaking explosiveness. Has same stepback jumper as well but can still get inside with crafty moves. I'd say overall watching more of him, a young Andre Miller or Jameer Nelson.

Let's just tank the season and draft Shabazz Muhammed or package our pick with D-Will for an up and coming SG.

Package D.Will and our draft pick for McLemore or Shabazz would be fine with me.

Re: NCAA Basketball Thread / 2013 Draft Targets
If we have to S&T Pek this off-season, I'd try to get a SG in the process (if we can't get McLemore or Shabazz M.).
With that being said, if we continue to lose this season and pick (8-10) I'd seriously consider bringing in Willie Cauley-Stein. 7 footer, long, athletic, can rebound, block, and he can finish inside.

Love/Williams
AK?
______/Shved
Rubio/Ridnour or Barea

I don't think we can play worse than the Kings, Wizards, Raps, Cavs, etc. He's a beast though.

As long as Adelman's the coach here, I wouldn't expect Williams to be in front of Cunningham on the depth chart. And if Williams is behind Love and Cunningham, then I wouldn't expect him to be on the team at the start of next season.

Wisconsin just about to down Indiana. That's huge.

Turnovers really killed the Gophers. There were a lot of dumb passes late in the first and early in the second that really hurt.

Re: NCAA Basketball Thread / 2013 Draft Targets
The way we are looking right now we look like we have a real shot at getting a top 5 pick. Ben McLemore not only looks like the best player in the draft, to me, but he also looks like he fits not only our needs but our system. Then we can pray for some health next year. Just a perfect fit with our team. I do like Nerlens Noel and Cody Zeller, but I think both will have a couple years of serious adjustment to the NBA.

Our "system" is only going to be around for one more year. Adelman probably won't re-sign with the Wolves.

So we should draft another Derrick Williams who doesn't fit?

Re: NCAA Basketball Thread / 2013 Draft Targets
Even if the system isn't around the stuff McLemore can bring off the ball are perfect for this team. Back door and baseline cuts, running off of screens, finishing above the rim, and spotting up for 3s on offense. I would hope we look for coaches who run similar offenses to what Adelman runs in the future.

Re: NCAA Basketball Thread / 2013 Draft Targets
The only thing from McLemore that I'm finding that I don't really like is that he has to be set up, he's not great at creating his own shot

Yeah, I really like his fit. Obviously not the "perfect" prospect, but very good.

Re: NCAA Basketball Thread / 2013 Draft Targets
I'd say, we cant have someone who cant create his shot, we have to have someone who creates for themselves and scores by himself, that's why I wanted us to get Jamal Crawford. We have no one who can go on fire and either cut the lead or up the lead. Portland is a great example, they have so many players who can hit threes back to back to back and change the game in a minute.
