We'll get a good idea if we need a new point guard right away with JBay getting another start tonight

Or just help out a team looking for capspace, like the Nets if they'll give up that lotto protected Rockets pick (currently #14)

Picking up Jeremy Lamb at 12 would be a dream come true. I honestly don't see him dropping that far. He might project that low, but he'll be picked much higher imo.

I still don't understand why ESPN's and DX's big board has Jeremy Lamb slated to go 9 and 12 respectively. Putting up 17.9 points per game on 62.0 TS% which is top 50 in the nation along with tremendous upside and physical tools is worthy of a top 5 pick imo. Outside of Barnes, Lamb is the next best do-it-all wing prospect from this draft class. If he falls outside of the top 10 which I highly doubt, would be the biggest steal.

Jarnell Stokes is a guy to watch when Tennessee plays Kentucky tonight. He's played great every time I've seen him.

It took DX the longest time to move Derrick Williams into the lottery. Not concerned about Lamb being 12th there

oh look at Davis, he is scoring like crazy!

Still very early, and it's not like the player who they had at 2 the whole time - Perry Jones - is doing very well either. Perry Jones is now 7th in their mock.

Agreed.

I remember it was Barnes that was 3rd these past couple of weeks.

Still, Derrick was projected by them as probably the most nba ready, can't miss prospect in the draft. Remember, Kyrie had the injury concerns.

Hey, who does draft sigs?

JN · Post #1138 » by JN » Wed Feb 1, 2012 1:39 am

Not really draft related, but the Big Ten is playing basketball tonight likes its 1912.

With 9 minutes left in the game
Illinois 33
Michigan St 28

(On a draft related note, Leonard has 4 pts, 4 reb in a stud like performance for the Illini)

With 4 minutes left in the first half
Penn St 16
Wisconsin 9
