Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects Draftexpress with an updated mock: #7 Harrison Barnes #11 Terrence Jones
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects I like Jones OK ... but the prospect of that draft doesn't excite me all that much.
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects After watching some film, I'm warming up to Terrence Ross. He's probably the most explosive athlete of the first round shooting guards, has a great stroke from 3 complemented by a solid pull-up jumper, knows how to play off the ball and has the ability to finish around the basket off cuts and o-boards. Doesn't do much off the bounce though, and is the main reason he doesn't rack up many assists at all, but what I've seen he's a willing and solid ball mover. He seems to be underrated right now (projected middle first rounder). He's not a perfect prospect but Beal who's projected top 5 isn't either. Nic Batum and NJ's pick for Andre Igoudala and the 15th pick (Ross) is the idea I'm throwing around in my head right now.
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects Iggy is one of those players who put up great stats on mediocre teams. At best, he's a second/third option -- like LaMarcus. I'd rather go younger than in that direction.
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects Ross is really streaky. When he's hot, he on. But, when he's not, he keeps shooting and keeps clanking.
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects Jones earning some character points? http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaab-the-dagger/terrence-jones-keeps-promise-bring-flowers-louisville-cheerleader-135500155.html

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects I'd like to see us go after Beal or Barnes with the NJ pick. Maybe take Marshall with our pick, or maybe even Lillard.
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects Yeah it might be a little calculated, but he still carried through with something that doesn't necessarily benefit him all that much ... I mean when it comes right down to it, no GM is going to weigh this into their decision to draft him or pass.
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects Unless he brings the GMs flowers. Me, I'd draft him if he brought me a nice $50 arrangement of pansies.
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects Some really great athletic plays by Jeremy Lamb in this video.... I think I like him for POR more than Beal and chances look good that he will be there at #6-#7. Put him next Batum at SF, Aldridge at PF....nice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxbtin3UBjw&feature=related
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects http://www.nbadraft.net/players/austin-rivers Whatch the two videos on Rivers from Highschool. His cross over is exremely impressive. A few of his dunks are also surprisingly explosive. The boy can ball.
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects I like Lamb's over all game as well. I would be happy with either he or Rivers along with one of the bigs.
Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects Lamb will be there at #6-#7 because that is a giant reach for anyone to draft him before there, he will also be there at #11. No reason to use out 6-7 on him when he isn't projected at going higher then 12 in any mocks on the big sites. He could defiantly increase his stock during the interviews and combine but tell then I wouldn't waste the 6-7 on him when he will be there at #11.
