Official 2012 NBA Draft Thread

[finallyfamous]

Yeah that trade had <1% chance of happening... Just a wishful thought the Cavs tried to throw out there...

If Barnes is CLE's guy they'll need to be sure he will be there at 6... He probably would be.

Blazers better pray whoever they get at 4 turns out good IF that trade happens.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Kendell Marshal is Jason Kidd? In what world? He can't guard anybody, he can't score at all, he's not a rebounder, he's the an anti athlete.

Kendall Marshal is in no way shape or form going to be Jason Kidd, not even 42 year old Jason Kidd, they are not comparable.

You should be ashamed of yourself for that comparison.

Big year for Kyrie.. front office looking to make moves. I see you Cleveland

Yea, I see a little more young Andre Miller in his game. People forget that Kidd was quick and pretty explosive coming out of college. If you want to say a 37 year old Kidd, then maybe.

I'm a fan what can I say.  My opinion might be skewed 
However, you saying that they are not comparable in any way is complete and utter slander. 

court vision

no wasted movement/doesnt over dribble

basketball IQ/feel for playing PG

runs a team both in full court and half court possessions

sound like Kidd attributes to me 

Dont forget that UNC team was going NOWHERE before Marshall stepped in for Drew.

If Kendall Marshall was as athletic as a young Andre Miller then he would be a surefire top 10 pick

 

[Arthur Shelby]

jason kidd really ?  

 
Kendall marshall comparison to marcus williams from uconn still sound's legit ( but KM has a basketball iq and no character issues like MW)

 

[steinbeckballa]

Good to see 3 bay area heads at the combine. Lilliard, Cunningham, and Orlando Johnson. I hope they all go in the first round.

Athletic testing released.

http://www.draftexpress.c...=0&pos=0&sort=12

Is it just me are humans just getting more athletic...

Miles Plumlee with a 40 inch vert, which I don't care what any one says thats insane, 260 pound humans just shouldn't be able to jump that high. 

Q. Miller getting up 36 inch higher than i expected.


Also Harrison Barnes getting up, 38 inches flat footed, thats surprising, one of the highest ever recorded.

Harrison Barnes out with something to prove I see 

. Make me a believer my G.

 

[caerus]

Yeah, I see Marshall having a Marcus Williams type career in the league. Unless he drastically improves his game, he'a gonna be a journeymen. Who knows tho...

Barnes

Henson vert top 5 worst? Damn lol

Still hoping my dude Tyshawn cooks in the L!

[langfor5]

My son T-Rob with the quickness. Surprised he wasn't up there w/ the bench reps though.
LOL @ Ty. Oh well, couldn't get the reps in at bench. Still think he is going to be a late first rounder. Have heard that he is doing very well w/ the interviews and workouts.

 @ J'Covan Brown. What in the world was he thinking? 14% body fat and the worst vertical leap?

 

[solarius49]

Does anybody else see Anthony Davis being a huge bust?

Yeah, I might be, I just see a more athletic Emeka Okafor in his future

They are similar except for the, accurate jumper, extremely fluid post game, advanced ball handling and court vision and offensive basketball iq....wait

 

[solarius49]

meh I guess you're right, I'm just always leary of the #1 overall pick, even though the track record is historically good

 

[Animal Thug]

At this point in time, I'll be satisfied with either Beal, MKG, or Barnes.
..and knowing one of these guys will fall to us at #4 is a great feeling

I thought I just read read that the Cavs were basically for sure gonna trade out of the #4 spot
