The House of Blue

First of all, no way any team takes Andre Drummond or Jeremy Lamb over Anthony Davis. Just not going to happen barring a major injury.

Second, good to see Darius Miller working his way onto some draft boards.

I can see what you're saying but I can still see a team toward the bottom of the first round using a pick on Lamb.

Yes, he's a known as an outside shooter and he's undersized (who isn't in the NBA these days?) but people underestimate his ability to score. He has a great mid-range game and can get to the basket and score on occasion as well.

He's a scorer. Scorers score. Look what Marcus Thornton did to the Lakers last night--27 points.

Actually think they're going to be pretty good. Marcus Thornton has gone under the radar but the kid can fill it up. They're only a PG short right now and if Jimmer or Isaiah Thomas can develop they have that too. They're two deep at the 2-5 and might sneak up and get a play off spot in a shortened season. Think them and Minnesota have the chance to be the two biggest surprise teams this year

Yeah they got him checked at the Cleveland Clinic and it turned out he had an infection of the pericardium and not an actual heart condition which is what it originally appeared. Aggressive antibiotics should clear that up and not even require surgery. After the Kings confirmed he didn't have the heart condition he was signed again for an extra 1 million over the life of the contract.

Reke plays some PG for them but being honest he's a combo guy who's never going to be a pure PG. He starts but thus far they've ran it with John Salmons handling the ball in a Point Forward role for Reke and Thornton then the majority of the rest of the game they're wanting Thomas and Jimmer to split PG but with both struggling defensively they do go with Evans, Thornton, Salmons, Cousins and Chuck quite a bit too.

Agree. If Cuz will let some of that Hayes work ethic rub off on him, it would be huge for his development.

Anyone else feel like Lamb is one of the most underrated guys in the country? What does he need to do in order to command more respect?

I agree. There's still plenty of time, so anything could happen. I just have a gut feeling Cal will be encouraging Teague to stick around another year.

As for Lamb... the young man is WAY underrated. He deserves more respect for sure.

Doron's athleticism is going to hurt him in the NBA for sure. Jeremy Lamb, Brad Beal, Terrence Ross, Austin Rivers, William Buford, Tim Hardaway Jr., and John Jenkins are probably better prepared for the NBA. I'd also expect most of those guys to enter the draft and would expect Lamb to at best be the fifth guy out of that group.

Though you're right about those guys you and many GM's probably underestimate his athletic ability because he's not an above the rim player. Doron can kill you from 3, mid-range, and driving to the basket. He's nifty with his layups and gets to the line at a high rate for a guy like him. People said similar stuff about Jimmer's athletic ability and the two NBA games I've seen him play do far I think he will do just fine. I don't think Doron will be a lottery pick, but that may end up being some teams mistake.
