Snood or somebody who knows better than I,

 

How good of a pick is Xavier Henry? I've been impressed with him in college, but not sure how he'd translate to the pros. Could he potentially replace Rudy Gay?

 

He's more of a shooting guard than a small forward. I don't see him putting the ball on the floor and attacking the rim much but there's always room for good spot up shooters in the NBA who have size and can guard. Henry will do that.

 

I think he can be a 40%+ 3 point shooter in the NBA.

Thanks Sponge. We really need some scoring after last year's draft, so it sounds like Henry was a really good pick.

 

Wouldn't mind a high-upside guy like Orton with the next pick.

Grizz need a point guard though.

 

Yeah, I keep hearing they're not happy with Conley (even rumors that they'd try Mayo at PG). I wouldn't be unhappy with a point guard, though I still think Conley can continue to improve.

Nice pick.

 

ESPN is so terrible at the NBA draft. Right as Jay Bilas is saying shooting his is strength and he's a catch and shoot guy, they flash their graphic: Must improve shooting.

 

Barry hasn't said a single useful thing all night and we all know that Scott should have been sent somewhere far away long ago.

Bradley's one of those weird Bruce Bowen types who can shoot threes and then f's up at the FT line.

Good shooter. Can board for a guard. Average athleticism. Hard-working defender. Hesitant to attack the rim. But that's not out of fear (imo). More because it's not a real strength,

DeMarcus Cousins' interview was epic. The guy looked like he has to remind himself to blink.

 

Also like that the Clippers took a chance on DJ Lance Rock

I agree with everything except the athlete part, I thought he was below average as an athlete.

Thanks snood and illini. I'm liking this pick considering we need to be able to score.

 

What are some of the better PGs left on the board?

I wouldn't pick a point guard out of this draft, that's left.
