Really impressed with Kidd-Gilchrist this season. His jump shot is keeping him from being elite but he's a great team player and has an insanely high motor. Seems to enjoy playing defense, crashing the boards, and making the extra pass.

Best player on the board is whom you take.

the original post says Plumlee goes to UNC....

He clearly goes to a more elite university that boasts more NBA players currently in the league than any school i believe.

Has anyone who has watched this Henson guy honestly think he is going to be any good in the NBA? I love Jones from KY.

Yeah I'm not overly impressed. He needs serious work, will probably need a few years in college sitting in the cafeteria and hitting the weights.
Potential, Potential, Potential.....
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

Read that last line again. One more time.

Henson is a great shotblocker but he is raw.   He is best when he attacks the rim.   I think he will have a nice pro career and he will drafted high based on his potential.  7-6 wingspans don't grow on trees.  I think his teams suffers a lot because they don't have a good outside game to compliment their bigs.   Their three point shooting is suspect.   So teams pack it in inside and dare the guards to beat them.  This is NC Achilles-Heel.

Jones from Kentucky is up and down a lot.  I live there.   Some games he does great and some games he vanishes.  Yesterday, he was beast in the first half and disappeared in the second.   I would be cautious to pick him.  I would take Lamb over him from what I have seen but Davis is the best prospect on that team.  Kyle Wlitjer is a guy they don't play that much that is a Freshman this year.   He can shoot right or left and he a high basketball IQ.  He also can shoot it anywhere.

This kid doesn't get a lot of playing time with Kentucky's fab five but I think he is going to be special in a year or two.  i doubt he comes out this year as he is on the bench but what a skillset.

The Celtics are going to trade this pick! I would be surprised if they did'nt trade it in the next two week, before the first preseason game!!!!!

I'm not sure that is an accurate description of Jones although I haven't seen him a whole lot.  He seems much more of a power post up player than Odom ever was.   He doesn't seem nearly adept dribbling as Odom.   I do really like his game though.
