    Yeah. Lillard has some untested unknowns. Drummond and Beal have some evidence of poor performance. I think Beal will be a very good player. Drummond is a total coin toss at this point.

    The biggest question I would like to know is does Drummond really enjoy playing the game. If he really likes basketball then I think he will do okay.

    Yeah because he was able to get to the line so much. He was a very efficient scorer. He is more then the potential that a lot of these other guys are. He proved it by working hard and going from a place where no one thought he was very good to being a top 10 pick. That's the kind of attitude and work ethic that makes players continue to work on their games.

    Good point. If you can find a guy with that sort of attitude (Porter or Kersey to cite 2 examples) it can really pay off.

    The game against BYU he had a double-double. The game against LMU wasn't a conference tournament game as they don't play in the same conference, it was the college insider tournament.

    You conveniently omitted his performance against St. Mary's who was arguably the best competition of the teams he played this past year. The game where he scored 36 pts on 11-18 shooting.

    The talent around him at Weber St. was garbage.

    Mo Williams sounds about right for Lillard. That's not too bad.

    I wouldn't trade for the real Mo Williams and I definitely wouldn't use a high draft pick on him.
