Operation Beast: Prospect Thread II

[Krapinsky]

Well, George is listed as the same height/weight as Brewer, only George has better handles than Brewer. So I think maybe there's something to it for now.

To be fair, Brewer isn't really a SG either. Shrug.

Let's talk more about Kevin Seraphin. I've never seen a game, just clips, and read about him. Any of our euro board members have first hand knowledge?

[revprodeji]

Offensively, what is the difference between the 2 and 3 in this system? It seems like we have 2 players that can create offense and 1 that spots up for range. (seems to be the lakers model and what the bulls did)

[horaceworthy]

I'm really falling in love with Paul George and Turner. I think if we could get those 2 out of this draft it'd make us a much better team. Both are probably more suited as 2 guards, but I think Turner and Brewer could have the majority of minutes at the 3, with Ellington and George as the 2's.

George is a straight up SF.

That what's I thought too, but I've been hearing that he's better suited as a 2 -- sort of like a T-Mac.

He's more SJax* than T-Mac. I have no idea what Chad Ford was smoking when he threw McGrady's name out there, but I'd love to know where he got it. George has more upside than Captain Jack because he's a bit more athletic and may end up having better outside touch, but like Jackson he's a swingman with a somewhat competent handle/all around game with an affinty for chucking from distance rather than a swingman with crazy handles and playmaking ability like McGrady used to be.


*Preemptive disclaimer because George has a lot of fans on this board: The Captain Jack comparison shouldn't be seen as an insult, Jackson's a solid player whose main drawback has been a propensity to wear out his welcome in three years or less rather than his play on the court. Plus, unlike McGrady, he's made it out of the first round.

Nah, that comparison doesn't bother me.

Here's Gottlieb's top 30 big board for the draft. I swear he's just being contrary on a lot of these. I mean, he calls Aminu a "super skilled wing" and compares Monroe to Chris Bosh.

1. John Wall, Kentucky
2. Derrick Favors, Georgia Tech
3. Greg Monroe, Georgetown
4. Evan Turner, Ohio State
5. Wesley Johnson, Syracuse
6. Ekpe Udoh, Baylor
7. Al-Farouq Aminu, Wake Forest
8. Luke Babbitt, Nevada
9. Gordon Hayward, Butler
10. DeMarcus Cousins, Kentucky
11. Cole Aldrich, Kansas
12. Ed Davis, North Carolina
13. Larry Sanders, Virginia Commonwealth
14. James Anderson, Oklahoma State
15. Xavier Henry, Kansas
16. Hassan Whiteside, Marshall
17. Patrick Patterson, Kentucky
18. Avery Bradley, Texas
19. Eric Bledsoe, Kentucky
20. Daniel Orton, Kentucky
21. Damion James, Texas
22. Paul George, Fresno State
23. Donatas Motiejunas, Lithuania
24. Stanley Robinson, Connecticut
25. Jordan Crawford, Xavier
26. Craig Brackins, Iowa State
27. Dominique Jones, South Florida
28. Solomon Alabi, Florida State
29. Quincy Pondexter, Washington
30. Willie Warren, Oklahoma

If Monroe had Bosh's athletic ability he would be up there.

Well, yeah.

[revprodeji]

Someone has to say it --- It's quite a stretch and rather irresponsible to suggest a guy that has shown nothing out of the ordinary but a bad temper for a 19 year old kid might have Asperger's. This is how internet rumors get started.

Nothing is confirmed, but it was suspected. I just hope we really test for him and find out if it is just immaturity or something else.

....

I stopped reading when I saw Monroe ahead of Turner.

[Foye]

Lol at Babbitt and Hayward @ 8 and 9.

Latest writeup on Paul George: http://bit.ly/dctATP

Follow him on Twitter at King24George and let him know how much Minnesota fans want him in a Wolves uniform.

[The J Rocka]

Darko/Whiteside or Orton
Big Al/Favors
Brewer/George
Turner/Ellington
Rubio/Sessions

(Assuming Love and Flynn are moved to get Favors and another lotto pick)

If only we could pull this off.

[Devilzsidewalk]

I hope all you guys trying to trade Love for Favors get an errant outlet pass upside the noggin next year

AFA working out.

[Devilzsidewalk]

if he can really step up his shooting as he did here today while also continuing to refine his ball-handling skills, his best long-term potential likely lies at the small forward spot.

thank you joseph

[Esohny]

Devilz, are you still feeling it with Aminu?

[revprodeji]

Turner
Wall
Favors
Johnson
AFA


(Current Draft board)

[Klomp]

Turner
Wall
Favors
Johnson
AFA


(Current Draft board)

REALISTICALLY, I think our draft board at 4 is Favors/Cousins, Johnson, Aminu, Aldrich
