Best PG/SGs coming in the draft?

I'm looking at the mock draft on ESPN.com and it said that Beal is the first choice (#5 pick) for a SG/PG combo. Then it lists Lillard #2 (#7 pick) for a quick scoring PG. Then Kendall Marshall as #3 (#9 in the draft) which is the truest PG coming into the draft. Then, Jeremy Lamb as #4 (#13 in the draft) a defensive minded SG. And Finally, Austin Rivers as #5 (#14 in the draft) a big time scoring SG that seems undersized.

I'm wondering how many of you feel about the guards and their position in the draft. Do you agree or disagree with ESPN's scouts?

 

Chad Ford is smart enough I guess. As for his ranking and descriptions, it mostly dovetails with other publicly available draft analyses of these guys, so ... I dunno, seems fine.

 

This is a tough question pre combine. Assuming Beal grew slightly, he is head and shoulders (no pun intended) ahead of everyone else. IMO, J. Lamb has the best chance to be an elite level player in the back court of anyone in the draft, but he also has the best chance of being the laziest player in the draft. Rivers really should have stayed in school, and is way too immature to be a pro. Also thinks he is better than he is. At PG, Lillard and Marshall are the only two worth anything close to a lottery pick. Marshall is Andre Miller and Lillard is a shoot first PG that. IMO, will struggle to play PG on the next level. I'd prefer Teague late int he first or Machado in the second, while signing anyone but Nash

 

lol....Rivers could end up being the best player out of all of them.....

I like Beal, but it sure doesn't look like POR will be getting him, he appears to be a top 5 lock and POR won't be drafting there....

I like Lamb, great size, good scorer...a little risk there but he could be good...

Lillard makes me nervous, I just don't know enough about him....quite frankly taking either Marshall or Lillard with a top 10 pick seems like a reach for need IMO...

 

I have them rated: Beal, Waiters, Rivers

Then: Machado, Teague, Marshall, Lillard, Wroten, Taylor, Holloway

Relative to their projected draft position, Waiters & Machado will be the steals at the PG position.

 

I'd have Waiters higher if he weren't from Syracuse. I have never liked their players in the pros

 

Wasn't Melo from Syracuse? He's pretty damn good. But are you just talking about players that have bad attitudes?

 

Bradley Beal
Kendall Marshall






the rest.

 

Is he good? Are his teams good? I'm not sure I could find a starting 5 in the NBA with Syracuse players going back 20 years. First and second rounders since 92'

92' - None
93' Conrad McRay
94' None
95' Lawrence Moutan
96' John Wallace
97' None
98' None
99' None
00 ' Eton Thomas, Jason Hart
01' Damone Brown
02' None
03' Carmelo Anthony
04' None
05' Hakim Warrick
06' None
07' Demitris Nichols
08' Donte Green
09' Jonny Flynn
10' Wesley Johnson, Andy Rautins
11' None


Not the most inspiring list for a program so dominant in college. Their players don't usually project well in the pros.

 

Marshall and Lamb.

 

Lamb scares me. Could be all world, or could be lazy

 

I like this stat

 

He's going to sneak into the top-10.

 

You don't have enough posts to have rankings! Can a mod please delete his post!

 

If not having enough to please was an issue, Mrs HCP would have divorced you years ago

 

HATER!^

 

Beal best catch and shoot guy since Ray Allen?

Lamb is labeled as soft by talent evaluators?

 

I know a few have mentioned it on here, but man, the more I read about him, the more he reminds me of Batum. And I am ok with it out of one wing. Can't afford it out of 2.

 

Lamb's talent > Batum's talent
