T-Rob and Jared Sullinger both said they they measure out at 6'9 in shoes.

Beal claims that he's 6'4 1/2.

We'll see tomorrow.

MKG does not have a great outside shot, everyone knows this. But that is certainly fixable. Cal didn't work on it (his mechanics are not good) because he knew he would have one year with him and the last thing you want to do is mess with his head emotionally and hurt his confidence. He works harder than anyone and is extremely coachable. The jumpshot will get worked on and at the very least will be respectable in a reasonable amount of time.

With that said, MKG isn't less athletic than pretty much anyone. He is as athletic as they come.

Oh I agree, and even with the hitch, I never really saw him get blocked. And that post was a few days ago, ive come around on drafting MKG and would be okay with it. I think he has star potential in this league. And will at least be an all star.

All these teams falling in love with T-Rob is making me happier and happier.

One of Beal or MKG is going to fall to the Cavs.

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion

I was really settling in with Beal or MKG. Nothing against Robinson but just something doesn't "feel" right with him going at 3 and/or to the Wiz for me. Can somebody talk me off the ledge?

He'd be Trevor Booker 2.0 on this team in that he's another undersized PF.

Beal or MKG would make more sense for the Wizards than Robinson would.

I think Robinson at three is a steal

How can you be a steal if you're a Top 3 projection?

[bigeastbumrush]

I think Washington has to take Beal.

Take MKG and you have a PG and Wing who can't shoot.

MKG is better served on the Cavs where he can play his slasher role much more smoothly with a heady PG who can already shoot.

I'm assuming here that the Bobcats take T-Rob at #2 which seems logical.

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion

Did anyone else see the report on a site like iamagm.com about how MKG actually wants to go to the Cavs??? I'm not sure how I feel about taking him because he can't really shoot but if he gets in the gym and works on his form he could really turn into a ball player. Any thoughts on him sliding to the Cavs?

[WTF]

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion

He's already a ball player. Just because you have no deep shot doesn't mean you're not a ball player. Wherever MKG goes, he will be successful. Dude has all of the intangibles to help a team progress to the next level. His mid-range is decent, but if he gets in and works on his form, he'll become a "good" shooter period.

MKG to the Cavs could be the best thing thats happened to the Cavs in recent years. MKG is a hard nose, hustler...

Kyrie, TT and MKG, 2 years after losing Lebron?

Not bad for a team that lost a once in a generation type superstar.

Shoot, it's taken the Nets almost 10 years for them to replace Kenyon freaking Martin

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion

Hearing the Hornets are looking a lot at Tyler Zeller. Do not want, he's a guy I wouldn't mind on the Hornets but not at #10.

That's gotta be a bluff if I've ever heard one before.

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion

Nobody thought Kawhi Leonard would improve his jump shot as much as he did. Would you not take Shawn Marion on your team because of his form? Also I think Artest didn't shoot the 3 ball well in college. So I think MKG would be a solid pick for anybody. He probably isn't a franchise guy but that doesn't mean he can't be a good player.

Hopefully, really want them to look at adding another scorer like Austin Rivers or at least someone with more potential

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion

At least you would assume that it is one...right? Zeller at #10 makes no sense whatsoever.

But then, I continue to underestimate the stupidity of some of these GMs and it only takes 1 out of 30 to be that guy.

Rivers isn't worth a top 10 pick either.

Re: 2012 NBA Draft Discussion

Rivers isn't worth a top 10 pick either.

If Rivers falls out of the lottery it's an automatic steal IMO

But I think realistically he's worth a borderline 10 pick through 14
