Yeah from what I saw of Lamb and Drummond yesterday, they didn't seem to give a rats ass about much while they were playing.

Let's see what Barnes gives us today. The Draftexpress report wasn't that complimentary on Beal. That definitely didn't sell me on him.

Not sure why MKG is so high (2nd). Maybe he'll show me why today.

Looking forward to watching how our kids do and number 40 on UNC.

If Lamb is around the 12th that is a steal of the draft ...

After Davis Barnes is the best prospect no matter how good or bad the his tournament is ...

He's getting rid of it after he gets drafted.

He shouldn't. His unibrows have been carrying his game.

So Kabongo's tournament is done. Probably shouldn't declare this year (his value has gotta be in the mid second round somewhere), but is he going to get that much better under Rick Barnes?

Mid-second?! I doubt it....probably late first.

Yea lol, he's so confident that Kabongo's a 2nd rounder, that's insane.

I agree with Jsmith that Kabongo would be mid 2nd to undrafted. He's nothing right now.

Kabongo would only get drafted because he's a PG who played in the McDs game last year.

Beal > Barnes

For us, I think so. But I'd say they're on the same tier.

You've just got to get him with the right lighting and angle and he looks pretty normal.

He's got big-ass eyes, that's all.

Anthony Davis has that old school bro look. You put he back in with the players prior to the 90's and he fits in like nothing. Who cares what he looks like though when he's dominating.

Agreed in the right situation Barnes would be the better fit but for us I think we need to have beal higher on our board. It helps that he is younger too.

Ridiculous judgement. Kabongo's speed and playmaking ability are good enough for a mid-to-late 1st round. Idk what you smoking but I'm not surprised by you, especially what we've seen from your top 10 draft list.

Dr Positivity · Post #77 » by **Dr Positivity** » Fri Mar 16, 2012 8:13 pm

Ford has shuffled his top 10 quite a bit

1. Anthony Davis
2. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
3. Thomas Robinson
4. Bradley Beal
5. Harrison Barnes
6. Andre Drummond
7. Perry Jones III
8. Jared Sullinger
9. Cody Zeller
10. Jeremy Lamb

Watch out for falling Drummonds from above watch is on IMO. I would choose out of the top 10 before 2nd overall for him. I also think MKG and Beal have the edge on Barnes from here on out barring a big tournament from the latter. Being a freshman to his sophmore always gave them an advantage, especially for Beal who does most of the things Barnes can

MKG, TRob and Beal's draft stocks are looking excellent IMO

Kabongo's garbage. I thought he would be like TJ Ford at Texas, who was one of the best college floor generals I've ever seen but this guy has no game. No court vision, no jumper, no scoring. He's just a street baller.

Macadoo just had a HUGE dunk!!!!!!

sunny · Post #80 » by **sunny** » Fri Mar 16, 2012 8:50 pm

updated from givony. pretty good. I personally would have T-rob lower but that seems to be where GM's are placing him. zeller is way too high. Beal and Lamb are too low. Perry Jones might slip a bit farther.

davis
, gilchrist
, robinson
, drummond,
sullinger,
barnes,
p jones,
henson,
tyler zeller,
bradley beal,
terrence jones,
jeremy lamb

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