He's a nice player, but nothing more than an NBA 6th man imo.

he is has way more potential than that. rather take a shot at players with a high ceiling.

It's not that he's a bad player, but he's going to be a Lou Williams/Jason Terry type.

Nah, he is a pass-first PG. The only thing is he's tall for a PG and he has a good shot and he's athletic. Those skills make him able to play the SG position. And the concern may be he's not quick enough to guard the Jenning/Walkers of the league. But he's a better defender than Jose so it's not a big concern.

His motor is really good. I would take him over Wroten because he's taller, with a better shot and he looks to hook up his teammates first. He's less Tyreke Evans and more Rubio or poverty-stricken man's Jason Kidd. That would be a good fit for this team.

And he's different from Bay who is a driving scorer while Satoransky is a shooting set-up man.

He sounds like a prospect the Spurs would pick up in the mid-to-late 1st rd.

If he's still on the board in the 2nd rd., I'd be all for picking him. We need that kind of guard anyway on this team.

If Lamb is on the board could be an interesting discussion on whether to nab him or keep DeMar

PJIII is being double team by everytime he touches the ball in the post. He and Sullinger are the only two players in this draft who have shown they can tip the court from the block.

Quincy Miller has excelled off catch and shoot situations this year. Off the bounce I need to see more tho

Wow, Sullinger is killing it 11 points on 5-6 shooting from the field. Looks really smooth playing his back-behind-to-the-basket.

Nope, no discussion. Lamb is more valuable as a shooter alone, forgetting the handle, floaters and length.

Think Quincy will be best used like a young Pierce, catching in the high post as a triple threat as well as coming off screens out to 3. I don't see him as a wing iso player at all, more of a 1-2 dribble guy.

Terry started for a number of years, nothing wrong with that. Williams is almost a worst-case scenario, the way I see it and probably even has a higher floor than that.

I don't want either of those players on the Raps. Sullinger keeps giving me flashbacks of Corliss Wiliamson and I'm not interested in taking a risk on another tin man (PJIII)

Perry is sooo good. He essentially does everything well. Good passer.Can post up. Good shooter. High IQ.

LOL @ the Perry hate continuing. Lamb just went 3-21 and you have the nerve to call Perry a tin man?

Perry Jones is Rudy Gay, an underachiever who will wreck your team forever because you think he might actually achieve his potential one day

I have been calling out Dion Waiters as a legit prospect for a while -- but I stick to the 12-18 type range for him. If the Raptors had a second pick in that area, perhaps he is an option. He is a combo guard though -- so a starter with a proper fitting teammate, or a quality sixth man.

No...

But I'm done talking about it. Obviosly this board is impressed with chucking wing players because you all don't see the true value of MKG, PJIII, and even a Sullinger. All these guys are true impact players and offer a skillset no other player can replicate.
