2013 Draft Lottery thread

One of his weaknesses is his lateral quickness and defense. There are a lot of questions about his ability to keep other guards out of the paint. Didn't he score pretty bad on the lane agility drill?

people said rivers couldnt play D, u dont have to be quick to play D, look at shane battier

I love some Ryno but intriguing thought.

Have you seen Burke? He couldn't do it in college against below average players. There's no reason to believe he'll start defending well now.

Eman you on radio this week?

7:30 start time for lotto

HornetsGuru nothing has indicated he will be a good defender at all so why would he be the exception where he doesn't need the speed?

What's the use for Burke? Monty and Dell keep saying we're picking for need. We have Vasquez. The only differences are that GV is taller and TB is more athletic. Both can shoot and pass and can't play D. Not really a big difference.

I compare Burke to more of a smaller kemba walker than cp

He's athletic enough to learn how to defend well at the next level. I'm not a big fan of taking him but he has the potential to be good enough defensively in my opinion. At worst he cant be anymore worse than Gravy

His sprint time was same as cp3 coming out of college. To compare him to anything Vasquez is just ludicrous.

Sorry but gv passing n shooting skill aren't on burkes level. Just aren't.

Did i miss ANYTHING?!?!??

Any who....I'm really hoping to hear Otto porter jr's name be called for the pelicans.

Dan Gilbert got some freaks

Before I looked at Draft Express scouting report I was under the impression that Anthony Bennett was primarily an undersized, back to the basket power forward. But after watching that video I also came to the realization that Bennett also possess the versatility to play out on the perimeter and stretch the floor with his shooting ability. I'm starting to warm up to him and think he has the potential to be the most versatile scorer in this draft.

Absolutely. I think he has the highest ceiling in this draft.

C'mon ping pong balls!!!!!!!!!

I think I've settled on porter as the guy I want.
