I saw him in the Olympics. I saw him school some of the best in the NBA. The kid is very good. OK. So he does not play D. Lightning moves and sees the floor. He is still a teenager. If he goes in the draft, I would think he must be the first PG taken. Personally, I also love the kid from Syracuse. I will take him before Curry or Mills. The kid coming over from Italy (skipping college) I dont know anything about how he has been playing. I think he is a PG. I also take Lawson before Curry or Mills, but not before the kid from Cuse.

Flynn, Lawson, Mills are all so/so prospects. Curry is not really a PG. I think Lawson is interesting because of his speed and quickness though his push it up style doesnt fit the NBA very well. He also has an awkward looking shot which will be harder to get off in the pros against much better defenders and few zone defenses. He will be a liability on defense and he also always seems to be injured. College is a 38 game schedule including the preseason tune ups. The NBA is 81 + 10 preseason games, and countless playoff games for the right teams. Can he stay healthy for that long? Mills is also extremely fast though is not a great shooter and needs to improve. Flynn is a tough kid but isnt really good enough to be an NBA starter. I dont know who to compare Curry to. There really has never been a player exactly like him and while he is an excellent spot up shooter he is not a good defensive player and really has no idea of how to run an NBA style offense. I think if he gets on the right team he can be effective in a Steve Kerr type role.

I think Lawson will have a decent pro career. Probably not destined to be an all-star or anything like that but can provide something in the 12-15 point, 6-8 assist per night range. One guy I love that's not getting any mention is Lester Hudson. Reminds me a lot of Rodney Stuckey but he's better.

14.0 and 7.0 14.4 and 7.4 13.7 and 6.8 this season Those aren't great but they are respectable and even a little bit more when you look at the team he plays for. The Bobcats are the second lowest scoring team in the league and points are at a premium there. I don't agree with you in him being in the bottom third. I'd put him in the top 15. I'm not sure what kind of athlete Curry is but I know he's a big time player. Seeing what he did against major competition was enough to let me know that. Watching him this year was even more impressive. I thought he made a very smooth transition to point guard. He had a lot of turnovers but the more I watched, the more I became convinced that it was more his teammates fault than his. They seemed like they were never able to catch his passes but his passes were often on the mark. I think he's going to be able to hit the NBA and give a team 15+ a night and I think he might make a bigger contribution as a second team point guard because he's going to be much better than what any opponent will bring in. I don't know about Hudson declaring last year but I think any team will be lucky to have him. He's only 6-2 but he's such a great athlete. He rebounds like he's 6-8. I know his league is full of suspect competition but over the past two seasons, he's gone for 35 and 10 boards against Memphis, 27-11 against Mississippi St, 26-11 against UNLV, 36-9 against Vanderbilt, and 33-12 against Auburn. That's getting it done. Last year, he had 11 double-doubles and two triple-doubles (one of them a quadruple). This year, 11 more double-doubles. He's also had 10 games where he missed a double-double by just one rebound. Now, I don't expect him to produce like that in the NBA and of course, he won't be putting up 7+ boards a night in the league but there are some guys that are undersized that just have a knack for how to get it done. Guys like Lafayette Lever and Jason Kidd. Guys like Rajon Rondo and Russell Westbrook, both guys in that 6-1 to 6-3 range that average around five boards a game.

Rondo has a lot of help, still lacks the jumper. Kidd is pure PG, he runs the show (past tense now, I think physically he has really declined). Westbrook has suprised the hell out of me. He is such a great athlete it helps him quite a bit. I still think he is 2 though.

not. Move Baron Davis way down now. Ulcers and he has gone Hollywood. He does not even like basketball anymore imo. I also like Andre Miller. Even though he is fairly slow he is as strong as any on that list.

Blake Griffin is bigger than Tony Gonzalez, stronger than Tony Gonzalez, faster than Tony Gonzalez, and jumps higher than Tony Gonzalez. Assuming he can catch a football the NFL is losing out on a heck of a TE.

I think Flynn has a huge upside.
He played on a team with a bunch of shooters. I love his body type, sinew and all muscle. And he is a quick as any PG in the draft. He may not be as fast, but in the NBA, starting stopping and changing direction is huge. Lawson scares me for one reason. He plays with the best talent. He got his looks. He got the open lane. Flynn was much more of a distributer with less talent on his team. Rubio uber alles.
