    Look at his advanced stats over at DX -- his ISO scoring is horrible.

    Doesn't necessarily mean he can't create his own shot. He's more of a jump shooter than a penetrator.

    How Ben McLemore gets his offense up until now 22% spot-up 21% transition 15% off-screens 11% pnr 8% off rebs 7% cuts 5% isolation

    Why isn't Ben McLemore using more pick and roll or isolation possessions? He's generated just 48 points on those 62 possessions or .774 PPP

    DX has him going #2. Which I don't agree with.

    Wonder why they don't have a stat for off the dribble. IMO, that is creating your own shot.

    nbadraft.net has one of his strengths as creating his own shot.

    I would imagine off the dribble would fall under either isolation or PnR, no?

    Sounds like Jason Richardson (in his prime) to me.

    Jason Richardson was a solid pick looking back at that draft as a #5 pick.

    http://www.basketball-reference.com/draft/NBA_2001.html

    I don't understand what some of you are looking at in terms of prospects? We have some here who seem to feel that a #12 pick should be a major contributor to a team the following year. The NBA rarely works that way.

    Honestly, my respect for Zags is high enough now over many other posters here that I can put aside his obvious bias against LMA/pro Love and just recognize that he knows hoops, too.

    Jason Richardson has been a very, very good NBA player, considering he was the #5 pick. The draft is a crapshoot.

    Btw, has anyone watched Aaron Craft this year?

    An absolute defensive pest at PG .....at he's white!

    The way he takes away angles is very Eric Snow-esque. He's the type of guard you want off the bench.

    I agree with wanting defensive guys off the bench.

    Yeah, did you just find out about him?

    Great athlete, lock down defender. Not a good playmaker though and horrible offensively.

    He should of went with football where he was an elite high school QB.

    I like Mohammed better than McLemore as well. I wanna see how McLemore does in the tournament, on the big stage before I think he's a top 5 type guy.

    Zags gets no cred from me! He just goes and picks the biggest most popular white guy and clings on!

    Shabazz looks like he'll have a potential ego problem
