Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Paige get the best out of that duel?  Where is Paige projected to go in the draft, round 2?

Just a mere 41 points on 16-22 shooting (3-5 3s) last night in a win over Pitt!

He can't shoot threes?  I admit it's not the prettiest shot...

41 Points 16-22 shooting

Are you serious?  TJ has NO talent around him and he still almost willed his team to beating a top 20 team in UNC!!!  Paige averages 16.9 points per games and is shooting 43.2% and is barely averaging a 2:1 assist/turnover ratio.  TJ is averaging 24.2 points and shooting 52.8% from the field.  He is also averaging 6.9 rebounds and almost 2 steals per game and he is doing this with virtually NO talent around him!!!!  Paige on the other hand DOES have some talent around him!!  Are you really being serious here???  Does your blood bleed blue???  Light blue that is???  Wow, some comments on this board simply amaze me.  Just because someone's TEAM beat another's team does NOT mean the one on the winning team is BETTER than the one on the losing team.

Please correct me if I am wrong!!!  Paige is not on ANY mock draft I have seen!!! Not nbadraft.net or draftexpress.com.  PLEASE fill me in where Paige is listed in a mock.  I have heard NOTHING about Marcus coming out early.  If he did, he would certainly be a first rounder, but just be in the 20-30 range and not the lottery like TJ WILL, notice I said WILL, be!!!

I like Warren a lot.  Efficient with his moves and has a diverse arsenal of shots in the paint.  It's the efficiency of his moves that I like best because I doubt he's going to be a team's no.1 offensive option and have the freedom to play with the ball a lot.  He's going to have to be quick and decisive with his moves and he is.  He's compares a little bit to DeShaun Thomas from Ohio State in the sense that both scored a ton of points in a major conference and yet weren't rated commensurately to their scoring average.  He's a better athlete though, so he has a better chance.


If only he was a better long-range shooter.  That's the one thing that's going to drop his stock.  He must have had Rashard Lewis clips playing on loop because unfathomably, he has as long a windup.  He brings the ball up from his knees.  He unloads the shot quickly but he doesn't so much as shoot from his legs as from his hips.  His has a very weird shot.
I have seen Warren play a lot. He has deep shooting range, although an unorthodox form. He is a way better 3 point shooter than his numbers would show. He also will take the big shots, as I watched him play for an entire season on the number one HS team in the country against world class 19u players every night.

Because Brewster Academy was so deep, he actually came off the bench for most of his senior year, but always ended up with a 25 plus point night even though he did not start.

Brewster's previous 3 small forwards before TJ, were CJ Fair, Melvin Ejim and Will Barton. Every night Warren was going up against current or future NBA players in by far the best HS/prep conference in America.

TJ Warren plays against the best at Duke during the summers, as he is tight with Nolan Smith. Warren also comes from a great basketball background. His dad played at NC State and David West's brother was his AAU coach. He was Roy Williams number one recruit target two years ago. All have said the same thing about his shooting form "it works so we are not going to mess with it."

No player in college basketball has a higher % of touches per possession than Warren. Yet he is an extremely efficient scoring at nearly 24 a game, while averaging less than two dribbles per possession. In other words, the ball does not stick with TJ, unlike some other volume scorers.

He simply is underrated. I think you know his numbers and he easily could be ACC player of the year. He is also a good rebounder and defender. He has had seven 30 point games to date this year and no other ACC player has had more than two, yet he has not won a single ACC player of the week award? What would ESPN be saying if Jabari Parker was putting up these numbers?

Will be interesting to see how he does in the NBA? So many unknowns with all these guys but I would not bet against hard workers like Warren and Vonleh.

Trade down for Vonleh and up for Warren with both our picks?

I recently looked at a mock draft that had the Celtics taking Warren at the 17 spot. Warren was recently crowned the ACC Player of the Year and I believe he would be a steal at number 17. I see a little bit of Paul Pierce in him and I think if his stock continues to rise he would be a good person to trade up for.

Triboy is that you?

I should add that Warren at 17 would be fine with me.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

No fool lol. There are more Warren fans than you think. Not a surprise he won the award

And yes Warren would be a steal at 17. He would provide firepower off the bench

New draftexpress scouting report video

Things to improve on.
- Cut down on cheating on defense or trying to steal the ball . Reminds me of the way Rondo plays defense
- Better shot selection. Assist numbers hopefully will increase when he plays with better players

This belongs in the draft forum where there ALREADY is a TJ Warren thread.

I like the kid at #17 but not with our early 1st.  Hoping we can land one of the Big Four with our own pick.  It all depends on how the lottery balls bounce!

TJ has 28 and 8 leading the renewed Cardiac Pack to the "upset" of Syracuse!!!  I told everyone that Syracuse was a paper tiger when they where undefeated.

TJ will NOT fall to #17!!!
