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

I think that we'll pick 6th. If we're going top 4, he'd probably go (in order) Drummond, PJ3, MKG, Davis.

I do agree with the sentiment that Miller needs another year though. I just really like his game for some reason.

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 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.


true true. fair enough. i just see this
PG- THE PG WE TRADE BARGNANI FOR LOL
SG-DEROZAN
SF-JONES III
PF-DAVIS
C-VALANCIUNIS

BUT I THINK THAT IF DRUMMOND IS ON THE BOARD HE'LL BE PICKED BEFORE ANYONE JUST BASED ON PURE POTENTIAL TO BE A POTENTIAL MVP CANDIDATE

I also think BC will pick D12 over D23 if we ended up winning this draft because D12 prolly reminds him of the early days of Amare, like how he came into the phoenix training camp looking raw and unpolished as hell. BC prolly has so much confident in himself that he can change D12 the way he changes Amare. Don't y'all think so?

I think Q. Miller would be a top 10 because the skill is already there along with a very high ceiling. Only Quincy Miller and Jeremy Lamb seem to have that superstar potential based on their skillset and I'd be hard pressed to pass up on that. Both guys can handle the rock and create off the dribble so well. I agree though, Quincy would benefit greatly another year at Baylor as the leader offensively and further refine his offense. But imagine the thought of drafting Quincy Miller this year and Shabazz Muhammad in 2013 :droop:

Why so low as 6th? I think Minnesota, Sacramento, Washington, Charlotte, will all do better than us. We will be fighting with the Cavs for the #1 pick. Minnesota might get a top 5 but that goes to NOH, and NOH will grab a 8-12 pick based on their own finish. We're worse than a #6 pick.

He'll get Bargs to teach him that invaluable 3-point shot :P

Agreed. Quincy's game is really, really smooth and crafty.

Even though he got called, that handle by Quincy is tight for a 6'9+ guy!

Man he looks like a young T-Mac. I can't help but fall in love with his game, but I don't like his fear of customs :cry:

If we draft PJ3, I'll be quite happy. Sky's the limit for him if he plays assertive and aggressive.
