He's such a team player too. All Jones III tries to do is get his teammates involved first. He knows when and when not to shoot. Thats why its amazing how high his numbers are. Plus he rebounds and gets steals.

We're not actually watching for Perry are we? He admittedly wouldn't enjoy playing for us.

How did D12 look tonight? Recap? D12 vs MKG who had the better night?

St. mary's playing good defense on baylor, i'm impressed. Qmiller...whether he needs to recover from ACL or not, I think it's best for him to stay another year. He'll likely recover 100% by then, be the 1st offensive option and also needs to develop more offensive moves into his repertoire.

Great steal by Miller.

I don't know man, I think that might just be a nice way to say I'd rather go through customs less than twice a year for my NBA travels.

Quincy Miller looks a lot more engaged offensively tonight than usual. He's actually trying to create off the dribble from the wing instead of always moving around the key.

also it's his first time going through custom, obviously he'll be pissed by it, who wouldn't? but he'll get used to it :lol:

I think Quincy is the best guy for us. I see MKG coming up in the latest poll but the Raps obviously need a guy with some handles who can create. Even the biased Tommy Heinson could see our guards were susceptible to pressure and had no where to turn with DeMar's handles not being the greatest.

I think BC will end up picking Miller, tbh.

Where do you think Qmiller be drafted atm? 6 to 11, where? I think if he stays another year and develop better skills, he'd likely have a shot at top 3 pick next draft.

I think that Perry Jones III is further along in his game than him. To me I think Miller is really good but he should stay at Baylor for one more year and develop his game and potentially be a top 2 pick in 2013

I couldn't agree more with you. Perry is further along and Quincy would benefit greatly from another year, but I'd still pick Quincy if they both come out. It's just a matter of preference I guess.

I say BC picks Jones III or Drummond. Miller isn't worth the position we're likely going to be drafting in. He's a good player but not good enough to take a 1-4 pick as of now. One more year at Baylor and he'll be golden
