I like the top 2 PGs. I think one will be there with Miami's pick, because I don't have that much faith in Miami. They had a hot half a season. We had a team of BS have a full hot season in 2013. They have a very good coach but I think if Goran gets hurt even a little they will fall in the surprisingly more competitive than thought east.
It's still a crap shoot and none of these guys have even played college ball yet so no one is even close to proven. The top 5 looks clear cut and even a few players after that look like they could be solid, like Bridges and Williams. This is just not a good draft overall for point guards right now. There will probably be some players that emerge that people didn't expect and some that might be ranked higher now that fall. I mean tons of guys look good with their high school highlights. I think there is a good chance that wherever the Miami pick lands, there will be several better draft candidates than a PG, so with our team at that point do you really pass on better players to not take who looks like BPA and take a PG? It's hard to know.
The way it falls right here wouldn't be bad, if this is where two of the picks land....Bamba and Sexton. http://www.tankathon.com/mock_draft
And the Bucks won't finish in that spot.
If the "They haven't even played college ball yet" argument is going to be a response to any prognosis for guys in this next draft, then how can you be so sure that this draft isn't a good one for point guards. You can't simultaneously say it's a bad class while clinging to the "nobody is proven and nobody is a sure thing" logic. They are contradictory. Either you are comfortable beginning to make judgments on who you like or not based on what we do know or you aren't. You can't just pick and choose when to apply each logic.
I happen to like the top 2 pgs of this draft, and I also happen to not have the faith that you do in Miami. They are a Goran injury away from being even worse than us. Their one other "star" plays below his talent level. I realize they had a really great 2 months of hoops, but they have not replicated that since and have not.played well this year while the east has proven to be much more competitive than initially thought. I think that pick ends up somewhere 10-15, which would be in range for those pgs if projections held.

Oh yeah, I expect it to be in the 10-15 range as well. I just don't expect to have to worry about them being bottom 7 like you were mentioning last night unless they get lucky in the lottery with a top 3 pick. I originally figured they'd get one of the last playoff spots, but with Detroit and Orlando looking good, and even Indiana and NY looking a little better than expected, the east is better than many anticipated.
I mean I'll trust the scouts and rankings along with you because that's all we have, but they will probably be fluid outside of the top 5, which has been the top 5 for awhile. But they can only scout so well when they haven't played too much against strong competition. The draft is even a crap shoot after the college season so it sure as hell is one now, particularly after the top 5 or 7.
I'll get to see Collin Sexton go against a strong AZ team fairly early in the college season so it will be interesting to see how he does. Not sure if he is one of the ones you like, but I know many have him as the highest ranked PG.
