    Barnes and Batum would work together nicely -- Nic at SG and Barnes at SF.

    Jones is a tweener SF/PF. Not a fan of taking him that high.

    I just did the ESPN lottery and on my first try OUR pick was #2 and the Nets pick ended up #6

    We took Gilchrist and Drummund.

    Yup this is probably the best route for the team that's realistic.

    Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

    The way Kendall Marshall can push the ball and find the open man with long passes is uncanny. He'd be perfect if our new coach decides on a fast tempo game.

    Robinson with the Nets pick, Marshall with our pick. Sounds good.

    Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

    Marshall can't shoot to save his life, so here is a question for you that I was thinking about earlier.

    Marshall, or the pick we would use to get him and something for Rondo......Another PG who can't shoot

    Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

    I'm curious if we really need a pg that can shoot the three. I mean we really needed it when we had Nate as a coach but would someone who can setup everyone else easier like a rondo be just as good now that we don't have Nate as a coach anymore. And maybe surround them with shooters like Batum and perhaps Gordon?

    Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

    Why would Boston do that? I think they're going to retool around Aldridge.

    Marshall isn't a great 3 point shooter, but he's not completely incompetent. He kind of has a Tony Parker type quick shot in the lane and is fast. I think he'll be a little more of an offensive threat than people think.

    Marshall has been working a lot on his jumper apparently. Last 8 games hes 13/26 from 3.

    Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

    I want Kendall Marshall on this team. I wonder if him breaking his wrist would drop his value to 22-27 in the first round? Maybe old moneybags Paul Allen can buy a pick, doubtful for this draft, but I can always dream.

    He's probably going to have a tough time defensively and he may have a tough time generating much of his own offense, but god-damn that guy can pass and run a team. He's going to need some teammates that can cover for him at the next level and a defensive scheme that doesn't hang him out to dry on an island, but he could be a good one.

    Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

    Just reading up on Anthony Davis. Did you guys know that he was groomed to be a PG in HS? He was actually recruited to play DI ball as a guard! He was 6'3 his junior year, and had a ridiculous growth spurt and is now a C.

    Check out this video from his senior year in HS, when he's still flashing some of that handle and passing ability, as well as discovering his new found height advantage.

    [video=youtube;1OSxB2HZAKE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OSxB2HZAKE[/video]

    He looks like a combo of KD and Oden. The guy is a can't miss prospect.
