2012 NBA Draft Thread

[rondohondo]

If we stay at 21 and 22 I want Royce White and Sullinger or Fab Melo.

I was really down on Fab Melo a few weeks ago, but after doing more research his defense looks to be quite good. I knew he could block shots , but he looks like a very quick, big ,nba ready body ,athletic and aggressive . He is the next best Center available after Meyers Leonard IMO ( better than Zellar at defense). Can immediately become our backup C and give us a shot blocking presence when KG comes out of the game.

PG: Rondo                         / Vet min
SG: Bradley                       / Ray (hopefully)
SF: PP                            / Green
PF: KG                            / White
 C: Haywood(after Dallas amnesty) / Melo  

If we trade up for one guy around 15 and then use the Bobcats 2nd from next year and 2nd from this year to trade into the late 1st these are the guys I would take



#15ish
Meyers Leonard ,Terrence Ross,John Henson,Arnett Moultrie

late 1st
Quincy Miller,Will Barton,Jeff  Taylor,Jenkins,Cunningham

Jeremy Lamb = Marshon Brooks ??

Jeremy Lamb = Marshon Brooks ??

I say no. MarShon is a better scorer. Lamb to me is a shooter, nothing else. He is a better defender though.

[Yoki_IsTheName]

My question is if we land Royce White, which I hope we do, do the Celtics resign Jeff Green?

They both are combo Forwards right?

Isn't Lamb a bit longer/more athletic.

I do agree they're similar style of players.

No idea. Never seen him play. His physical profile and scouting report just seems quite similar. Somewhere between a MarShon Brooks and a Nick Young.

I was just wondering if the comparison made sense or not. In terms of both style of play + caliber of talent. To see if I am in the right ball park or not (expectations wise).

Rockets are dealing trades like it's NBA 2k. They're aggressive as heck. Im intrigued on what they're going to do.

Need to find Paul Pierce 2.0

Need to find Paul Pierce 2.0

Thats Barnes and he is going top 5 so no chance there.

But I think we can get a Rondo 2.0 to run our 2nd unit's offense.

you are so cruel. For my sanity I hope he goes No. 01 overall. I've heard enough Royce White stuff that would last me hundred years. Royce White-stans are absolutely driving me insane. they set the bar so high. I hope Royce can reach even 10% of the hype.

ah, at last the NBA Draft is upon us! My favorite sporting event of the year.

I don't know if Lamb is quite the "me-first" gunner that those other two are. I get the sense, having seen a little bit of Lamb over the last two years, that he is perfectly content (if not more comfortable) being option B in an offense.

I've heard the adjective "sleepy" used to describe him, and I don't think it's inappropriate. Smooth player, lanky and long. Questionable fire/motor. Perhaps a poor man's Joe Johnson? Nowhere near as physically strong.
