They have a lot of the players we'll be considering when we pick in a few months.
Alan Hahn: Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)

Teague shot it well from deep, scored some pts. and was instrumental in the 2nd half comeback last night but man was he sloppy with the ball the first half or what? One stretch there he turned it over 3 times in a row - 3 straight possessions. He's a bigtime talent but he's a risk-taker & his carelessness with the rock at times is definitely a concern for me. I'm really starting to think that Warren and Maynor might be the better PG prospects (both are bigger than Teague, appear to be equivalent scorers but with better PG instincts). For me it's Teague, Warren and Maynor for the PGs, not sure what order yet. Everyone else is on a different level talent-wise including Brandon Jennings who hasn't excelled at all overseas. Just looking at the numbers and the clips of Jennings it looks like he's really had his problems shooting it and finishing around the rim.

Jennings and Rubio excite me based on the opinions of coaches who comment on them more than the you-tube clips. They look smallish, but you can see the talent level when you see them play. Rubio's a crazy passer. Jennings looks quicker than everyone on the floor, but it is Europe I suppose. If Calhoun says he's the best PG prospect in ten years though... that's pretty much good enough for me.

From actually seeing them... Warren and Evans are just so physically superior to most players at that position. Evans would completely change our fortunes. The guy is huge for a PG, can shoot and pass very well. If he could duplicate what Marty Collins did for that one miraculous stretch of five games, then that's all we need to make it to the next level.

Yep - Tyreke Evan's has moved up my board. Big - lead point guard who would be our leader.

Criticism of Tyreke is that he's another combo guard, but if we're targeting FA's like LeBron, Johnson, or trades for players like Melo... the ball is going to be handled quite a bit by that player rather than the PG anyway.

I'm excited about this draft. Everybody calls it weak, but there are more PG's in this draft than there's been in the last few.
