lol didn't they say they had him shooting with Rondo when he was a teen to make Rondo a better shooter or sum shyt like that? lol I think Rivers is gonna be fine, if MArshon Brooks is able to score and be fine in the NBA, I think Rivers will be fine and do good, but he needs that ball in his hands and I like his poise to win. I think he will do fine as a scoring point guard, but as a spot up shooter, I don't see him being that good. I think he can easily average 13 ppg in his rookie season at the very least.
This is mines. You like Lamb more then beal I take itdavis, drummond, mkg, barnes, robinson, beals?

I'm hearing 6'2 or 6'3 for beal
I rather go 6'5 lamb who could be Reggie miller or ray Allen ish in terms of shooting? Has I was going thru the tape he is also an underrated passer as well
I'd take Lamb over Beal, the tools to be better are there, and he supposedly has a 7"4 wingspan.
The last really good undersized SG to come out of the draft was Eric Gordon, Beal isn't nearly as strong or as explosive as him.

The problem with Lamb is almost like the problem with Perry. I'm not sure he has the heart to match his skill. Anytime someone takes plays off and drifts, that's a red flag.
Beal's gonna be massively overrated by June, but Lamb did himself no favors with the season he had.
And just cuz Curry's injury prone doesn't mean he's not a really good undersized SG, and he was drafted the year after Gordon
I don't see the similarities between Lamb and Perry, at least Lamb still produced at a high level and improved over his freshman season where as Perry actually regressed.
Honestly, I think the Uconn guys will be much better than people expect.

The only thing Lamb did more of compared to his freshman year was score more, and considering he averaged 10 more minutes a night and didn't have Kemba alongside him, I would expect him to do that. For the most part his numbers stayed the same.

Lamb seemed lost and unmotivated on that UCONN squad this year...like he was all alone out there. I think he just didn't like his team by tournament time. I figure losing his coach had something to do with it all. He still averaged decent numbers though, even with Shabazz Napier out there taking all the shots. You know he wasn't the greatest PG. That whole team had no chemistry.
Lamb works nice with a good offense and complimentary players. With his size, athleticism, ball handling and shooting skills I can't see him not having success in the NBA. His draft stock dropped because of UCONN but I agree he should be a top 5 pick. Like I always said, no way a team takes Beal over Lamb for SG if they're looking at potential.

Oh I won't disagree with this. If Beal gets picked high, it's because he's considered safe. There's just more risk now with Lamb than there was a year ago.
I don't see why anybody has Beal over Lamb. Lamb is longer and does just about everything better than Beal. And if people want to say he underperformed, he still had a better season than Beal, and I'm not talking bout team success. Eye test and statistically he was better. Plus I'm not a big fan of undersized 2s that aren't explosive athletically. Don't get where the Roy and Harden comparisons come from with him.
And as far as Drummond, to me there is enough there to work with that I take him with the 2nd pick and don't look back. He was a freshman big that played on a completely disfunctional team with guards that had the greenlight to fire it up as soon as they crossed half court, and didn't hesitate to use it. Seen plenty of times where this nikka got completely looked off even when he had the most lopsided mismatches in the paint. Plus a coach who didn't decide he wanted to show up until it was all but guaranteed the team was making the tourney. Freshman don't often beast even in the most ideal conditions, so him not performing up to expectations isn't a major turnoff for me.
Don't know where the Pistons go with their pick. Don't want Henson like some have mentioned. nikka been in college for 3 years and can't even put on a freshman 15? No thanks. Unless they end up with a top 3 pick, there is no big I want to see picked at their spot. If they go wing I won't even be mad, cause the ones they got now ain't worth a damn anyway. If LAmb is there take him. Harkles may be a reach, but I like his game too. No Sullinger, Leonard, or Zeller. Tired of undersized 2's and tweener 3/4's on this team.
