i am hoping he can grown in to a lou williams/jason terry type role

No where near as athletic as Lou or even Terry. Lamb is an average athlete torn between the 1 and 2 and that's what has kept him from being a type flight prospect.


he is a little short but he is 6'5 in shoes plus he is smart and a decent athlete...i dont think you can ask for much more in the second round

I'm just hoping Royce/Quincy/Wroten falls to us.

So that removes all doubt then, Doug Gotlieb is a maroon.

I'm actually not in much disagreement. I'd have a 3-way tie for 5th and have PJIII and slip Thomas Robinson ahead of Barnes though.

mods, even though this has hit 100 pages, lets leave this open until the picks are announced. then we can lock this one and open the other two.

picks 2-5 seem to be completely interchangeable at this point.

Man I can't wait for workouts. We'll have the high end talent in this year rather than the players projected late lottery/1st round.

I just don't see the big difference in value between like MKG in the top 5 and Terrence Ross in the mid teens. Davis is in his own little tier and then there's a big gap that's headed by Robinson and a bunch of other guys.

Doug Gottlieb is an idiot in my book.

if you can't see the difference between prospects like MKG and prospects like Terrence Ross, maybe the draft isn't for you? :D

I think it's gonna be the same as last year where you got your obvious #1 and then guys in the late lotto/mid teens being just as good as top 7 picks. Like is Enes Kanter at #3 really that much better than Nik Vucevic at #16? Kawhi at 15, Vesely at 6. These prospects all seem smashed together to me
