1) Kyrie Irving
2) Perry Jones
* 3/4 (tied) Harrison Barnes / Terrence Jones

I put a * because its hard to really pass on Barnes. To me he looks like the only "true" SF out of the bunch i listed. Perry can be and Terrence i think is a tweener i would need to see him in workouts to determine if he could be a 3. I just cant pass on Barnes potential though, there was a reason he was so highly thought of and yes he hasnt played well but he has the tools to be a great player.


Same thoughts too, Barnes has a very outstanding shooting form, he struggles alot now maybe due to confident issue. He wasn't a good player before and had to work hard to become one of the top players in the nation prior to college (he said that in the article)...so if everything pans out in the nba, i can see this guy's potential of being a good shooter that knows how to use his size and smart to score over ppl. Can't really pass on this guy for sure.

I really like TJ, not only does he have the skillsets, he's got a high basketball IQ too

Brandon Knight has an extremely quick release! Almost Kapono-like. He's got great quicks and knows where his shot is coming from, he's not a floor general though

Terrence Jones just looks like a PF to me so far. After watching this game i dont know if he can play the 3.

Other game i saw him utilizes his shooting ability, knocking down 3's and dribble drive like a SF tho.

Tsk tsk tsk Knight, what are you thinking...

TJ reminds me of another tweener .. Thaddeus Young. Brandon Knight will not be a good point guard at all ...hope we don't draft him

Ya, I think Beasley is a good comp. for T. Jones. Beasley, though, is more skilled imo.

But, I think Irving + Singleton would be a GREAT draft. Singleton could be an impact player on defence.
