    Given the Raptors interests in wing players this draft, here is Hollinger's draft rating for perimeter players:

    Perimeter Players: The Best

    Dion Waiters Syracuse 14.12
    Kendall Marshall North Carolina 13.84
    M. Kidd-Gilchrist Kentucky 13.58
    Marquis Teague Kentucky 13.18
    Quincy Miller Baylor 12.94
    Tony Wroten Washington 12.21
    Bradley Beal Florida 11.65
    Kostas Sloukas Greece 11.51
    Harrison Barnes North Carolina 11.11
    Will Barton Memphis 10.90
    Doron Lamb Kentucky 10.65
    Jeremy Lamb Connecticut 10.50

    Remember, these are projected PER ratings three or four years into their pro careers (or so I understand). Here's what he had to say about Waiters:

    "I have Waiters fourth for similar reasons. His size, 6-foot-4, is more of a concern, but whatever team made him a promise did a wise thing. Waiters projects as the best small wing since Dwyane Wade, and he'd be a steal if somebody got him in the Nos. 8-10 range currently being discussed."

    His Quincy Miller evaluation also caught me by surprise:

    "The other wing everybody is sleeping on is Quincy Miller of Baylor, who put up a strong mark despite coming off an ACL injury. He has more questions marks because of the knee and his bony build, but he is long and can score. The stories of him slipping have me baffled, because he rates as a top-10 pick."

    He wasn't as high on Beal and Barnes:

    "Two other wings who will be drafted highly don't rate as strongly: Beal and Harrison Barnes. Most players in their range turn out to be solid, but this part of the pool doesn't produce many stars. I'd be more comfortable taking these two in the later part of the lottery."

    One last quote on Lillard:

    "One player that Draft Rater isn't crazy about is Damian Lillard of Weber State, who compiled strong numbers but did so against a weak schedule and is much older than most of the prospects at his position. He not only failed to outrank the top point guards above but also rates behind the less-heralded Tyshawn Taylor of Kansas. No. 6 clearly seems a stretch for Lillard, who looks more like a mid-to-late first-rounder in this analysis."

    Take it for what it's worth. For me, I've always liked Waiters (that's my opinion, not Hollinger's).

    Does Hollinger offer any methodology here?

    I'm liking Dion Waiters even more. I think Ive said that enough.
    The more I read, the more I like him too. I was encouraged by Hollinger's article, because he reminds us to look at other players who have similar qualities and how they have done in the NBA over the span of their careers, and not just in their first year.

    Not saying I agree with his order necessarily, but it's good to see that Waiters is looked at in some context as less risky than Beal.

    Hope his right,
    If we came away with Barnes/Lillard, Moe Harkless and Quincy Acy (projected around our ranges) I would call it a sucessful draft for once.
    Huh? This is NOT what John Hollinger thinks will happen -- this is his rankings of the players. If his rankings are right and we end up taking Barnes/Lillard, then we just had an UNSUCCESSFUL draft!

    I can't believe Perry Jones is down at #28. Ouch. I've never liked Damian Lillard so I hope the Raptors are reading this. Surprised at Dion Waiters and Quincy Miller. So if the mock drafts are right and Hollinger's rankings are right, then Waiters would be a steal.

    Standing out, Dw at 4
    Barnes and Beal at 11 / 12
    Lilliard at 18....

    Quite a difference here, but usually Hollinger is accurate, usually......
