Ariza has range though. -
Definitely. Most of Harkless' points come from in the paint simply because he's not that good from the perimeter.Matt52 wrote: View PostComment

Keep in mind that he is only 18 and as a freshman he is St. John's best player. He does so many things other than just score though.Comment

His a type of player that can make a run like Seth Curry did in college. That's why I hope Weber State gets into the big dance@Chr1st1anLComment

I definitely wouldn't use a top-10 pick on him. I'm hoping Colangelo can find a taker for Barbosa which brings back a pick in the 20-30 range.sleepz wrote: View PostComment

Haven't been keeping up with this thread, but wanted to mention that it looks like MKG is leaning toward staying another year at Kentucky. He also mentions that most players that say that toward the end of the season change their minds once they realize how high they could be picked, but that'd be a real blow to the pool of available wings in the draft.

When people mention this...i say take it with a grain of salt. Two good examples last year Derrick Williams said he return, even after Arizons was ousted in the tournament. But he declared...Tristan Thompson already registered for classes for the next year at Texas, but ended up declaring.Lark Benson wrote: View Post
On the flip side, Barnes and Sullinger returned to school even though they were both locks for the lottery.-"You can’t run from me. I mean, my heart don’t bleed Kool-Aid."

I think Barnes and Sullinger's decisions had more to do with the impending lockout, than anything else.Raptorsss wrote: View PostComment

Agreed. The only players I see staying are those on the bubble for the lottery and those on the bubble for the 1st round, if they think they can improve their stock next season in a presumably weaker draft than this one.Nilanka wrote: View Post
My personal top 3 draft choices for the Raps right now, before the start of March Madness tourney, are Barnes, MKG and Beal.
IF the Raps were to win the draft lottery, it would make for some crazy discussion here on RR leading up to the draft! With a glut of PF already (at least 1 needs to go as is) and JV projecting to be more defensive than offensive, there would be many options open to the Raptors when it comes to drafting Davis. "What to do if the Raps win the lottery" would be an interesting thread to start!Comment

My big board looks like this as of now:
Davis
MKG
Beal
Lamb
Miller
Marshall
Kabongo
Guys like Sullinger, Barnes and whatshisface out of uconn don't interest me at all. The only big other than Davis that i like is Robinson but i feel like our other needs have to be addressed over him.Last edited by ceez; Wed Mar 7, 2012, 01:36 PM.@sweatpantsjerComment

Drafting Robinson would allow for moving Andrea which could address such needs. For example a Andrea for Rondo swap. Rondo throwing alley oops to Ronbinson and JV would make a few hilight reels... if you're into that.Comment

Chad Ford chat tidbits
TomA (Sacramento, CA)
Does Michael Kidd-Gilchrist end up staying in school like he has been saying or do you think he'll be talked/convinced to come out? Feel he'd be a great fit for the Kings, IF they pick in the top 3.
Chad Ford (1:43 PM)
I think he stays. He's a different kind of kid. Likes school. Wants to get better. Lots of teams want him including the Kings. He's now No. 2 on our Big Board.
Ryan (New Zealand)
Myck Kabongo- staying or going?
Chad Ford (1:45 PM)
Needs to stay. Good player. Needs another year.
Matt (DC)
After Anthony Davis, who is the best big in this draft? Still Drummond?
Chad Ford (1:46 PM)
Drummond has the most upside because of the size + physical tools. I'm a pretty big Thomas Robinson fan personally. Hard to see how a guy that strong and who plays with that much heart can fail.
Dave (Florida)
I know Bradley Beal is highly rated, but is really going to leave after one season? As a Gator fan, I would love to have him one more year.
Chad Ford (1:49 PM)
He might stay. But he's going to be a Top 10 pick -- mostly based on what he did in high school, not what he's done as a freshman. He waits another year and doesn't produce ... he slides. I don't think that Florida team was a great fit for him. I think he's much better in the NBA. He already has a NBA body and a NBA game.

Which player has the most to gain from the NCAA Tourney (much like Kemba last year)?
Chad Ford (1:55 PM)
A few top prospects like Andre Drummond, Harrison Barnes, Perry Jones just haven't wowed anyone. A huge run in the tournament would change that ...Comment

Jeremy Lamb 22Pts 8Rebs 1Ast 9-16 FG 3-8 3FG 1-1 FT
Came away really impressed with Jeremy Lamb after thus game. He was creating off the bounce and didn't just settle for jumpshots. At ending moments of the game hit a huge 3 to push his team a head.@Chr1st1anLComment

Huge game for Damian but, couldn't punch that ticket to the dance. I don't think they will be selected on Sunday. This may as well been his last game as college player. I hope its not I would really love to catch in NCAA Tourney.@Chr1st1anLComment

Fibally got to see Lillard actually play and wow I was impressed@sweatpantsjerComment
