my position rankings

my thoughts on the draft:

i really like machado there is a history in the draft of undervalued point guards, and he was very productive at a good program

rivers production at duke wasn't good, he was a volume shooter with poor to average percentages, his is all projection.

barton and jenkins produced at the college level, jenkins is a shooter which is fine, there's been heaps of good to great players where that been there only main skill. With barton alot of his production came a rebounder playing as a 3 on a high uptempo team. He is far too skinny to play the 3 in the nba.

quincy miller is a project,  i actually like him better than rivers, more production and better measurements, ofcourse this is without taking into consideration his mental approach to the game which makes the world of difference.

ezeli had average production in college and played with 2 elite perimeter player, very worrying

I agree but he is also very new to basketball and had a season cut short by injuries and suspensions. Reading about him he seems like a smart driven kid who is still learning alot about the game. He will never be an allstar level big, but could be developed into a nice rotational player.

I think Danny could work it to get either a star 3 or a very strong 4/5 in this draft, though probably not both.  I like QM too.

updated 5/14

I'm going to try to rank my top 10 at each position and keep updating the lists will draft day. Then I can see how I did.

PG
1. Kendall Marshall   (mark Jackson stlye PG)
2. Damian Lillard
3. Marquis Teague   (most potential at PG in this draft)
4. Tyshawn Taylor
5. Scott Machado
 

SG
1. Brad Beal   ( physical 2g, great in catch and shoot)
2. Austin Rivers      ( great in isolation. OJ Mayo like)
3. Jeremy Lamb   (ideal size/length, didn't take over games in college like he should have)
4. Terrance Ross   (ideal size/skill set for a complimentary SG/2nd or 3rd option)
5. Tony Wroten           ( PG/SG who struggles with jump shot)   
6. Evan Fournier   (young and productive in French pro league)
7. Dion Waiters      (destine to be a scoring spark off the bench, mini D Wade??)
8. Will Barton      ( good size/athleticism great rebounder needs to add strength )
9. Doron Lamb      (good outside shooter, can play some point)
10.John Jenkins      (JJ Redick style player)
11. Orlando Johnson (great size and scoring ability)
12. Alex Young

where players like A Rivers, T Wroten, D Lamb and D Waiters will be able to play some PG in the NBA I view them as better SG prospects then PGs. Rivers is as much a PG as D Wade is.

SF.

1. Kidd-Gilcrest      (bigger stronger andre Iguodala)
2. Harrison Barnes   (glenn rice like player)
3. Moe Harkless      (high potential, ideal size)
4. Jae Crowder       ( physical defensive 3)
5. Jeff Taylor      (lacks length but great athlete same size as J Dudly, excellent defender)
6. Quincy Miller      (less athletic D Miles, nba teams worried about knee)
7. Kris Joseph
8. Hollis Thompson   (J Kapono like player)
9. Darius Miller
10. Robbie Hummel

PF.

1. Anthony Davis   (Marcus Camby 2.0)
2. Thomas Robinson   (almost Antonio Mcdyess)
3. John Henson      (strength is the major concern, add 20lbs and he is better then robinson)
4. Terrance Jones   (Marvin Williams like player)
5. Perry Jones      (all the phsical talent you could ask for, skill wise good at everything great at nothing, low motor/energy guy)
6. Royce White       (would be 3rd if not for anxiety, Antoine Walker like game, minus the 3s)
7. Arnett Moultrie   (Channing Frye like game)
8. Andrew Nicholson  (long, but needs to bulk up. very skilled on offense, great range)
9. Draymond Green   (Anthony Mason like game)
10.Kevin Jones   (undersized but super productive in college, will find a niche)


C.

1. Andre Drummond   (Samuel Dalembert like)
2. Jared Sullinger   (same length/height 25lbs heavier then al horford)
3. Tyler Zeller       (will be PF if wingspan is under 6'10")
4. Meyers Leonard         (Robin Lopez's offense meets brook lopez's defense, will take time to develop)
5. Festus Ezeli       (Raw prospect especially for a senior, started basketball at 16, has physical tools to be a more explosive perkins)
6. Fab Melo      (a quicker Greg Ostertag but with off court issues )
7. Yancy Gates       (7'3 wingspan and weight to play C)
8. Kyle O’Quinn      (7’5 wingspan)
9. Robert Sacre      ( solid man to man defender)
