MKG is a much better ball handler and passer than Gerald Wallace maybe Andre Igaudala?

Worst case/Best case
Anthony Davis - Joakim Noah/Kevin Garnett
Michael Kidd Gilchrist - taller, saner Tony Allen/Gerald Wallace
Thomas Robinson - Kris Humphries/Al Horford
Harrison Barnes - Jared Dudley/Danny Granger
Jared Sullinger - better rebounding Glen Davis/Paul Millsap
I'm dubious about the other prospects (Andre Drummond, Bradley Beal, Jeremy Lamb, etc)

I find it funny that the knock on Lillard is that he's too passive.

It's alright basketball is not for everyone, there are lots of other sports out there to watch.
Glen Davis is soft, and has limited offensive basketball iq, the only resemblance he bares to sully is that he is the also a short pf, Sully is not even that fat.

Someone called Perry Jones an aging Kevin Garnett.
that's about as spot on as comparisons come.

Perry Jones wishes he could be half the defender an aging Kevin Garnett is.

I said Larry Bird was a great defensive player, high level basketball IQ allowed him to overcome any physical limitations he may have had, and also an excellent defensive rebounder for a 3.
He's 24th all time in steals, he averaged nearly 2 per game playing 3/4, in 88-89 when Bird only played 3 games the Celtics fell from being a top 5-10 defense consistently to 20th out of 25 in defensive efficiency.
Was old 300 pound back brace Larry bird a poor man on man defender? probably. ever since his first injury boston never again were a top 5 defense, but a healthy Larry when was quicker then his whiteness would have you believe, and the Celtics throughout the years there defense performance was drastically effected when he does not play.
Now you would understand this if you had the intelligence, or the critical thinking skills required to deduce this through film, stats, and anecdotal evidence you would get this, but you clearly do not. So you can continue to snicker endlessly while calling me "******ed", I regret to inform you that I will not looses any sleep, especially when it's coming from someone who appears to have the reading comprehensions skills of Derrick Rose
EDIT
anybody have this.

"As a point guard, you want guys to be more assertive, more aggressive, and [Lillard]'s more passive, which is a rarity," a Northwest scout said.Originally Posted by Al3xis

From David Aldridge's article in which ranked the PG's in the draft based off info from scouts.

Yep. He's in. Just announced.
One of these PG's HAS to go back. If this draft is so weak on PG's, what's next year going to be?
It's gotten to the point where people keep saying that this draft lacks top PGs, that every PG in the top 50 is declaring.

Davis was outplayed by white guys named Zeller 3 times, and I think at best they will both be backups/low-end starters in the NBA. I'm not saying he won't be good/can't be coached, but its going to take a while.
UK's defense was built around forcing players into the lane where Davis could alter shots. NBA rules won't let him just set up in the lane for as long as he wants.

horrific, looks like the golden age of PG's coming to end end, I don't really see any big time PG's on the horizon for 2012 2013.
