The Official 2012 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[Mr swag]

Yep starts up the draft thread after the lotto and I pick for the wiz of course

 

[NatiboyB]

Here are 3 players I haven't heard anything about what is you guy's feedback on them.


Kevin Jones- PF- West VA- 6'8 248

John Jenkins-SG-Vandy- 6'4 205

Terrance Jones-SF/PF- 6'8 244


all these guys are top 31 picks according to Draftnet with Jones being the 1st 2nd rd pick

 

[Dirty D]

I wanna pick for the Raptors if I can

 

[tremonthustler1]

to everyone requesting: yes, just do things

1. keep checking this thread

2. that way, i won't have to send out a ton of PM's to posters to make their selections, which I will do if you're unaware of your time to pick. The picks will be updated on page 1 as usual.

And Swag, this IS the draft talk thread. If you have a mock of your own, we can have a separate thread for that leading up to draft night. I always do it for myself and whoever wants to do one, but nobody ever does.

John Jenkins-SG-Vandy- 6'4 205

Best shooter in the draft. Period. I'd love to draft that guy and know Rubio will get 3 or 4 more assists a night just for wide open 3's

 

[smARTmouf]

With the 29th pick, I want my Bulls looking @ D. Lamb, John Jenkins , or Jae Crowder...

Nothing else really makes sense unless their are trades in the works..

Not until the lottery. I already did one two weeks ago. The order will change a lot I'm sure.

IM not doing a mock this year I'm expecting to be out the country all of June. Hoping my visa clears

I was also impressed with Mississippi State's Arnett Moultrie. Two things immediately stand out about Moultrie.Moultrie is one big man whose status could see some significant draft day helium. First, he's an explosive leaper. He gets off the floor as fast as any big man I've seen this year and during several drills was getting his head above the rim. One of the things that Moultrie possesses that's important in the NBA is "second jump ability." He doesn't need any headway to leap that high and after coming down he can spring right back up again.

Second, I think he's much more skilled as a perimeter player than he showed this year at Mississippi State. He has a very nice touch on his jump shot out to 18 feet or so and has range all the way to the 3-point line. Though he showed more of this ability when he was at UTEP, it's still there. Factor in he is 6-foot-11 and was the SEC's leading rebounder this year (no, it wasn't Davis) and those are four pretty strong factors in Moultrie's favor.

Moultrie needs to get stronger, improve his defense (he should be blocking many more shots than he did last year for Mississippi State) and his post play. But there is a lot there to work with for a team that needs an athletic big. I think he could be one of those players that rises dramatically as we get closer to the draft. Athletic bigs almost always do, and Moultrie isn't nearly as big of a project as most big men that get taken that high. I could see him going anywhere from No. 9 to No. 20 on draft night.

Chad Ford on Moultrie.

Let me hold the Pistons ,pretty sure i'm the only nikka on here that gives a fukk about em.

and so it begins Moultrie will land in the top 10 and the Pistons do look like a good spot however he doesn't provide much weak side shot blocking and Henson has a higher defensive upside.

 

[Ritzy Sharon]

I'll represent for the Nug Tang Clan, though I have this sneaking suspicion we won't be picking @ 20.

John Henson is Epke Udoh.That guy will be a bust as a lottery selection IMO.

UDOH is starting to come around but I think Henson has a little more blackleticim and can even hit the 16-18 footer.

Moultrie's a sulker. Don't really like him as much as I used to because he didn't develop the way I hoped he would, especially on D because he has the tools. Awesome motor though. That alone can make you decent in the NBA, so I understand the buildup for him.
