I don't buy that. This draft is full of big men, and most of the top PG prospects have asterisks next to them. The few PG prospects there are are combo guards, like Marcus Smart, or score-first types, like CJ McCollum. I'm just not that optimistic that there are many future floor generals in this draft.
Don't get me wrong though, I have a man crush on Marcus Smart just like QuantamMacguyver does.
i said "decent", not "stellar". i don't see a future nba elite pg in this draft, but there is definitely a wide selection of PGs who can be good nba players and run teams the right way. here is a list of PGs in this draft (not all of them fit the description i wrote but it just goes to show there are quite a few of them overall):
Michael Carter-Williams
CJ McCollum
Isaiah Canaan
Trey Burke
Deonte Burton
Erick Green
Nate Wolters (my man crush)
Ray McCallum
Pierre Jackson
Will Cherry
Leo Westermann
B.J. Young
and that's not including smart, who i also like but isn't a point guard. regarding mccollum, i think he has to score a lot playing for Lehigh. by all accounts he has a high BBIQ, and although he appears to be more of a scoring PG, he may also turn out to be more like lillard.
