2012 Draft

Does anyone see Doron Lamb as the re-incarnation of Jason Terry?

Sniper from 3. Can be a secondary ball handler, good mid-range game. I think Doron might be a little taller and definitely more lean than Jet.

Nah. Lamb is bigger than JET, who is really the epitome of a combo guard.
I see Lamb as more of an off the bench, instant offense type of 2-guard. Some comparisons would be Wayne Ellington, Keyon Dooling, & Daequan Cook.

Terry came in the league as a point.

JET, while not a true point guard, has more point guard in his game than Lamb does. Additionally, Lamb is about 2" taller and more of a true 2-guard.
I think he's very similar to Wayne Ellington & Daequan Cook, in particular.

Rumor is Barnes killed the athletic testing

I was scrolling through this thread real quick and misread this as:

Rumor: Barnes killed at the athletic testing.



Thought this board was going to erupt with applause and relief.

This is from Marc Spears' latest piece on Yahoo about Austin Rivers:



Could Rivers be the guy Ben's contact was talking about?

I missed what did Ben write?

If we somehow got MKG at 4, then I would try to use 24+a second or av to move up into the teens and select Moultrie. Then with our other second round grab Doron Lamb.

So end up with something like this.

4.MKG
16.Moultrie
33.Lamb

Irving
Lamb
MKG
Moultrie
AV (if we dont trade him)

with Gee, TT and gibson off the bench isnt bad.

I don't see a second round pick coming in and starting over Gee.

Or three rookies starting, period. But I'd be alright with that draft.

Well yeah but it has 3 potential starters, plus I think Gee is better as a 6th man

we have a player we are targeting no one is aware of.

JOe K on 92.3


Davis do have interest in Rivers as a long shot at 4.

and Q. Miller at 24

We're pretty much working out the whole draft class:
