I'm not too impressed with this years crop outside the top-5. Victor Claver looks like he's developing into a very interesting SF/PF prospect. He's 6'10" and, at least this year, looks like he's developing a decent post game.
Demitri McCamey: 4 points on 1/10 shooting in 34 minutes at home vs. Purdue today. That's a pretty big game for a struggling Illini team. Way to represent Mac, you're clearly one of the top PGs in the country and a surefire 1st round pick.
Here's a couple others that have interested me recently. Reggie Jackson (Ju. - Boston College)--6'3", 200, good court vision, excellent shooter Ray McCallum (Fr. - Detroit)--Pure point guard with outstanding athleticism averaging about 5 apg, but kinda small with a suspect outside shot.
I love McCallum's game. A coaches son, too. Watched him in the McDonalds game last year and he was athletic as they come. Haven't seen much of Jackson, but I like the name.
Another PG I think we should take a serious look at is Nolan Smith. He's extremely heady, has great size and is a great defender. Didn't really play PG exclusively until this year and he's doing an outstanding job of it. He might be the first ACC player ever to lead the conference in points and assists.
His dad is the late Derek Smith. Former NBA guard. I don't know a coach named Nolan Smith. Are you thinking of Nolan Richardson?
Yep--he's the other realistic PG target for this year's draft class that I like. Seems like a high BBIQ guy--a perfect player to (perhaps) learn from Miller for a year before taking the reigns.
I know this thread has gone off-topic (as far as Jimmer) over the course of its creation to now. But I just can't help but note that since the first day I saw this thread and looked at Jimmer's projection, and most Mock Draft sites had him mid-second round. Today I looked and he's almost cracked the top-10 lottery group on some sites. Talk about a crazy advancement. He's almost move up to the point where the Blazers can't easily obtain him any longer since this thread was started. LOL.
