Zombie 2012 NBA Draft

that would be a dumb move IMO

 

Kwame Brown reaching?

 

Those are from the Hoop Summit -- proven to be wildly inaccurate.

 

Cool

 

Lillard retweeted it :

 

Lillard is taller, longer, and a better leaper than Jerryd Bayless.

...FWIW

**edit** they're actually the exact same height. But Lillard's 6'8" wingspan trumps JB's 6'3" winsgpan.

 

Nice!

 

But can he scrap like Jerryd? And I kinda mean it, too. Bayless has the king of all motors, something more genetically endowed people lack sometimes.

 

a little more:

Chad Ford: Damian Lillard really helped himself last 2 days. Shot ball well. Competed. Just measured with a 36" inch standing and 40" full vertical."

Lillard is more athletic than I thought. Westbrook only had a 30 and full 36.5 Rose 34.5 full 40...Impressive.

 

Those Lillard numbers are crazy.

If his "speed" numbers come in good as well he is really making a case for himself, he works out here next week too, what a fun and interesting draft!

 

@ 6, I can totally see us getting Dame. CHA won't reach for him that high with 2. WAS/CLE dont' need PGs. And I think SAC is very happy with Isaiah, but they could possibly bite on him. But I doubt it.

Pretty astronomical rise to the top though.

 

Reminds me of what happened with Westbrook.

 

Good call! And if the result is the same as Westbrook I am 100% on board with Lillard. I have gone from liking this kid to REALLY liking this kid.

 

I was wondering if Lillard was going to be our reach at 6 yesterday, that if we wanted him we'd probably have to snap him up there because you're looking at a risk of 7-10 trying for him... but now, it's kinda gotta be him at 6, torpedoes be damned. Run with a resigned Hickson, Batum, and LA as your front court, and draft a BPA wing at 11. Fuck size, go for leap.

 

with a better shot?

 

I don't think he's nearly as explosive as RW, even if the numbers say otherwise.

It's similar to how BRoy has (had) a higher vert than DWade.

For Dame, I still stick with a more athletic Curry as my comparison.

 

or move up if Drummond falls and try to snag maybe the GS or Toronto pick so you can get both, a Drummond/Lillard draft could be a great haul

 

6'1" in shoes with a 7'10" standing reach. 9.75" hand width, 9.25" in hand length. Wingspan of 6'4".

I'd measure my vert, but I'm not eager for a trip to the ER when an Achilles blows.

It's the S2 Combine!
