Hope/Pray for Anthony Davis?

But with that said, I doubt Drummond drops to 5. A team will draft him in the top 3, book it.

 

I think Perry Jones has a higher ceiling than anybody else in this draft, but he seems to be climbing the draft boards.

 

He was actually dropping throughout the year. He reminds me a Anthony Randolph. If he were there in the early teens sure, but not at 5-10

 

I see more of a Lamar Odom, because Jones can handle the ball and create his own offense. Maybe a taller version of a Rudy Gay?

 

I think Lamar Odom when I see Terrence Jones play. Shorter though

 

Not much shorter though. Jones is a legit 6'9"

 

Yep.

Regardless, of the players considered lottery picks, or around the lottery, only a few players names could be called that I would be pissed about.

1. Tyler Zeller - White center
2. Cody Zeller - White center
3. Myers Leonard - White center
4. Bradley Beal - Short SG
5. Damian Lillard - Too slow for PG

 

I wonder if Sean Deveney has heard of Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge? LA had a heart scare his rookie year that kept him out a while, but in the 5 seasons since he's only missed 12 games. Coming out of college the former #2 pick was listed as taller and heavier then Anthony Davis

If Portland were to win the lotto and select AD, I'd assume that Davis would be on the high post with LA primarily down on the low block. Anthony will have to put on some weight to hold his ground vs 4s or 5s, but thats probably just a matter of time.... they'd seem to be a great combo

I think because he is a center. Martin, Walton, Bowie, Oden. Not the best track record for taking centers that high. It was a great line by Deveney, and one that was repeated during the Kentucky game over the weekend

 

I have a solution. Portland will now have two power-forwards from this point to infinity and beyond.

 

I'm curious to see what Beal's official combine measurments work out to be. If he's a legit 6'5" and has long enough arms (and good athletic measurables) I would't worry too much about him.

 

Davis is a Center in college... Terry Porter was a PF in college. We'll see how AD measures out in the predraft, but I'm guessing he'll come in shorter and lighter then LA did and will best project as a PF

thats a great line? One man's garbage is another's treasure I guess

AD would be nice for sure but something like this would open up so many possiblilties.

 

Davis came in at 6'10" with shoes 7'4" wing span and 214 lbs according to draft express. No idea when that was though?

 

Beal was measured at 6 '3.5" with shoes and a 6'7" wingspan according to draft express. No idea when those were taken though?

 

I saw something on his updated profile at draft-express that listed him as at 6'3.5" in barefeet.

6'4"-6'5" (in shoes) makes him pretty average size for a shooting guard and a 6'7" wingspan while not freakish is at least decent for a 2 ... I dunno, I guess we'll see what kind of times he compiles in the athletic testing.

 

I sure hope we dont take Sullinger out of Ohio St. Too slow and will not be able to post up in the NBA. I would take Henson from UNC over him with the 2nd lotto pick.

 

Sullinger's going to go higher than 12-9 anyway

has him at 6'3.5" with shoes.
Similar in size to Westbrook and Jarrett Jack

 

There's some people that have said he's the best college prospect since Ewing.
