I'm not enthusiastic about Smith, Monk and Frenchy... I think they are too flawed to make it here. I see Frenchy being Jerian Grant part 2. I see Smith being Kyle Lowry before he got respect as a starter. Monk could end up being Tony Douglas with more hops. I could be wrong.... but I would rather try to get 2 or 3 picks for 1 and draft Frank Jackson and a couple other guys. That second round is going to be filled with talented upperclassmen pgs. I'm still a believer in Goss from Gonzoga. Goss might go undrafted. Just saying.

Rather significant difference, IMO.

Grant could shoot in college... Frenchy can shoot in Europe

Nitty is a better prospect than Grant but he isn't a kid with the kind of Speed and explosion as the Elite PG's in this draft. He is however a super versatile guard! He's equally capable on or off the ball. His defense is going to be a real strength. He also is VERY low turnover which gets overlooked.
Basically he plays WINNING basketball.

Only time will tell.... I'm not a fan of his game at all. I'm reluctantly open to the idea of drafting him. I need to see him against nba competition

I like the idea of him rather than the reality, if that makes sense- I love the idea of having such a long PG, who is a defensive terror, can shoot and pass. But then i watch videos of him and I just don't see it.

Just remember Nitty isn't even 19 yet!!! Pro scouts that live and breath this are able to project a lot better than most of us. They're looking at specific clues to determine how they should develop. For the most part they get it right. With Nitty I think he's more of a Triangle fit due to his versatility. IMO he's the most well rounded. Size, Length, Defense, Shooting! Able to play PG or SG well. High BBIQ and Unselfish. He's not a PnR Only guard. All of this makes him the most perfect Triangle Guard in the draft.

Now it depends on Gaines deciding if Isaac is the better Prospect if there at 8!

That's where I am exactly. I see a few other pgs that are his exact size and i prefer most of them over Frenchy.

If Denver really wants to get up to 8 Id do 8-13 if they throw in Malik Beasley and pick 49 --take Frank Jackson at 13. Im pretty much set at picking Frank jackson at 8--the only team I worry about from 8-13 is 12 Detroit because they may need a PG--but they also need bigs.

Id take that minor risk

If I had to say pick 8

1) Frank Jackson
2) Jonathon Issac
3) Frank N

I think this is the first time I've seen you mentione Isaac, what's your take on him?

LOL---Im not enthralled at pick 8. Im not sure grabbing a 7-0 SF is best for us unless we make more moves. Im really kind of stuck--I like the potential possibility of moving down or even up.
