    Jeremy Lamb's inability to work out has hurt his draft status. Sources say the UCONN guard is slipping. Hearing latter part of lottery.

      I thought he was playing a ton of PG at Duke?

      I saw him run the pick and roll often there.....only for him to refuse to dump it off to his big man and take a ridiculously contested floater.

        For some reason, I'm REALLY HIGH on Moe Harkless. He hustles, he plays smart. Alot of upside. And i'm gonna catch alot of flack for this. But i think he's a mini Lebron. Without the courtvision and playmaking ability. Also without the Jumper.

          Interesting. If the Celtics do indeed move up to that spot for the Picks you mentioned earlier. Random theory, Package that 14th, Moore or Johnson and a future 1st next year to somehow get in the top 10.

          Crazy. but who knows.

            I say we take marshall at 10, the go after hibbert since hes a RFA, and go SF with the 46 or trade jarret jack and 46 to get quincy miller or a decent 3.

                ESPN mock draft has the Rockets taking Meyers Leonard at 12.

                    I don't see Rivers ever being a great facilitator. People in the media keep talking about his ability to create his own shot but I'm not sure how much of a positive that is. He can get off shots but the quality of them is nothing to be excited about. I would never take him over Jeremy Lamb. I don't know or really like what Rivers is (an undersized combo guard) and I know that Lamb is a strictly a scorer.

                    I wouldn't be surprised if Lamb winds up being the best out of the draft among him, Beal, Waiters, Rivers and Ross. Get him in the NBA game with more space and his three point stroke and floater will be tough. He was a late bloomer (didn't start in HS until his senior year, barely played at UConn his freshman year until January) and will continue to develop. He went from a fringe Top 100 guy in HS to a lottery pick. He plays very well off the ball and uses screens about as good as any college player the last couple of years.

                      He and Curry rotated at the 1. He doesn't have much in the way of vision, especially when he goes into black hole mode after he's missed a few shots. He had more turnovers than assists at Duke. I guess he could be successful in a Jason Terry tupe of role.

                          Wizards fans can probably kill all hope of the Wall/Beal backcourt.

                            It was a tricky situation because it was the worst back court Duke has had in a long time. Curry, Cook and Dawkins are pretty much mid-major guys. Rivers was essentially their only scorer and athlete in the backcourt plus their bigs were stiffs.

                            But still, it doesn't excuse the overall lack of PG skills he showed.

                              So, I guess, the Cavs are looking to move Andy. They are shopping him, according to "multiple sources."
