I seriously hope someone picking in front of us becomes infatuated with Perry's tools and picks him.

I guess we're hoping for the 4th pick or later?

Obviously, that's against kids, but I doubt DeMar or Harrison could do that in an empty gym. One has to go if they're on the same team.

cmon bro, I'm sure demar and harry can do that in an empty gym, I think you underestimate NBA players' handles, even a guy like Shaq can do some crazy moves like Vince did there but they just don't do it in the game (how can they when the defenders hand-checks/elbowing/sissy grabbing them). "shaq - gangsta" check that on youtube.

just hope we draft someone who's elite at something

I also think harden have elite defense, he's all over you on D...he did very good job on Kobe couple times before

Yeah, I've seen the Shaq video and it's a travel although I was trying to see if I could do that in a game without anyone knowing. VC's handles in that video are streetball handles, DeMar and Harrison don't have anywhere near streetball handles. I'm just saying I doubt their ability to play together because of the way they both handle the rock, usually at least one of your two wings has a tight handle or else the point guard has to create almost everything.

The ultimate goal is obviously a championship, but imagine a championship wing combo like Kobe and Artest pressuring DeMar and Harrison every time they had the ball. We would have like 20 turnovers in the first half.

I don't care if Shaq, Barnes and DeMar can do that in a streetball game as well....VC's handles put all of theirs' to SHAME. Vince could do it all. If Barnes had his handles he would the #1 pick; I don't care if Davis averages 10 bpg (exagerrating of course) and well DeMar would be a legit go-to player and one the top players in the league.

Funny how we posted that at basically the same time.

It is Smith that is a draft prospect on UCLA. Wear twins suck.

St. Mary's - Murray St might be the best game on tomorrow.
Great bracketbuster matchups

Oops I missed the Peachtree Games. Always forget they have them now.

Also Score is supposed to carry the FSN college games at some point.

Gabe York seriously looks like Jerryd Bayless 2.0 when you watch his HLs.

He honestly does. Jerryd looked like a guaranteed future NBA star back in high school.

I reallly like Doron Lamb. I'd take him with a late first or early second

Homer Jay · Post #1398 » by **Homer Jay** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 5:06 pm

Oh Man, Drummond's athleticism is so damn intoxicating. That man's phyiscal gifts are almost Dwight level.

Homer Jay · Post #1399 » by **Homer Jay** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 5:20 pm

Lamb is already a better player than DD. He makes the plays you would expect a SG to make. He could walk in here next year and start at the two from day one.

Post #1400 » by **5DOM** » Sat Feb 18, 2012 5:21 pm

Jeremy Lamb + 4 scrubs vs Marquette

Whom do you want the Raptors to select in the 2012 NBA draft?
