Was really impressed with Lamb's game last week. His feel for the game is worlds apart from Demar and he has the potential to be an elite defender with that wingspan.

Has frederick love found another pg prospect to glamour over for half a season again. It was kyrie than kemba if i recall last year.

This is going to be a good game. I'm glad CBS is carrying it in Canada. Plus we'll have less "is it streaming" questions.

Perry Jones showing what he can do in the NBA- pull down the rebound and go coast to coast. He got it knocked away but still get the dunk on the inbound play.

It's not what he can do, it's what he will do.

Mason Plumlee looks like an NBA quality center. Any chance he falls to late first? Or is he playing himself into the lottery? Or will he stay one more year?

It definitely is, but like Quincy his handle is good for a forward and should be used wisely, IMO. But they both dribble with their heads up, which I love.

If we end up in the 6th - 9th range in the draft then PJ3 is our player.

Sure, I'd put him near the top of the 2nd tier. I think the tweener issue will be almost nullified by the defense we play, forwards have to guard both spots anyway.

Perry kills the pull-up 17-footer to end the half.

PJ3 - 12/9/2

Quincy - 13/3/1

No one in good conscious could play Bargnani and PJ together.... No One....

Depending on how our pg situation shakes out I want either Lamb or Harrison Barnes.

LMAO @ thinking Perry is going to last till #7.

Are you kidding me? Perry in one half has shown more NBA-readiness than every prospect in the draft.

Just say youre sorry for doubting the man and get on the bandwagon.

I think Perry Jones will look great in the NBA. The spacing will help him, he definetly has alot of skill and athletism. Who cares what position he plays, i like him in the 5-9 range. I prefer Lamb,Barnes and maybe MKG.

Is Lebryan Nash going to declare this year? His name alone is worth it, Im thinking if we maybe get a second 1st round pick he could be a good pickup at the wingspot.

Everything about his game screams 20/10 in the NBA. Many GMs will be fired if they pass on this guy, particularly for the likes of Drummond or Thompson.

Anthony Davis may defend enough and Harrison may score enough to offset the backlash but I doubt it. Perry is a walking mismatch in the NBA. You dont pass on that if you're a good GM. Do your job, people.

DX has him as a late first. I think he's got potential as well.

How's Quincy and Jones III playing people?

Don't listen to DX, listen to me.

The way Perry is playing now is due to proper coaching. The team is instructed to make him the primary option every time down the floor.

That's what you would have seen in the NBA.
