Sure I would. For real fans who have something constructive to add to the conversations here. But not for people like you. Quit being lazy and look it up yourself.

No name calling. Cut it out both of you.

Thanks.

The only article that I could find with a ESPN representative comparing Shabazz Muhammad to Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is a indirect quote, but sufficient enough even though it was before scouts were able to observe Shabazz's game in the college ranks & it was more of a slight due to Kentucky heavily recruiting at the time to be MKG's replacement. Of course Shabazz wouldn't shoot many jumpers in high school where most defenders are smaller than him or lack his athleticism. That's what a smart scorer would do. I doubt many scouts would compare their style of play nowadays.

See Ford's big board...hell I'm on my phone and I saw it. Though I think it's between awhile since that thing was updated.

I don't know why I didn't think to view Chad Ford's underlining notes on ESPN's NBA Draft main page. I kept going into the player profiles.

I'm just saying, I mean he stated the exact page where he was getting his info from.
:wink:

all I asked for was a link to the page he was looking at. Don't know why he can call me lazy when I spent 40 minutes looking up obscure information for fats just a couple hours ago.

Heh, just noticed Ford gave Polythress a MKG comp. as well. We need to collect the whole set!

why even use rookies as comparisons? may as well say the new chevy volt is a lot like that car you saw drive by once

Coming from an Indiana basketball fan..... I think it is less likely Zeller will come out this year. He still does not demand the ball enough on offense and in the NBA you have to want the ball to make an impact. Given he has loads of talent surrounding him on that team which makes it difficult to force feed him the ball every play. I think he will stay another year at least, but it may depend on how IU does in the tourney.

That being said...

McLemore and Shabazz have looked great lately and both seem to have the skill level to be a go to scorer at the two guard that we desperately need. I think they are 1 and 2 on my wish list right now with Noel, Zeller, and Len following up with guys who would be good players for us.

Sleeper wise I would keep my eye on Archie Goodwin surging up as a top 3 prospect.

I said earlier in the thread that zeller stays and I still think it's 75% chance he stays. his family wants him to stay

Muahmmad killing Mizzou.

Kobe lite, he only scores but... he has a nack for it.

I'd grab him with even the 1st pick.

Shabazz is cementing himself as the 1st pick IMO. If I had to guess, I'd say Shabazz, Noel and Mclemore go top 3.

Noel certainly has a lot of potential. But kinda worries me about him fitting with Charlotte. Doesn't have much of a scoring game, but solid defense and rebounding. Without much of a scoring threat, I think we would be very weak on offense with both he and Biyombo on the court. If we already had a go to scorer, I'd really like him on the Cats.

Agree with Prince on the top 3 being Shabazz, Noel and McLemore. Just not sure about the order as it really depends on the needs of the team at the time of the draft.

I guess I get to see Noel for the 1st time today. Looking forward to it.

I'm expecting a lighter version of Okafor though and not much more.

He's a lot more smoother and better moving than expected.

He's very Tyson Chandler'ish IMO.

But you can see that although he and Biyombo might be good for defense and rebounds, they would be a disaster playing on the court together as far as scoring. Not a quality enough player to justify taking over Shabazz or McLemore.

I think that Noel will be much better than Biz.

What'd you think about Archie?
