The "I want to draft Eric Maynor" banwagon was started by myself 2 years ago with special props to VDesai. Please hop in and enjoy the ride.

I tell you what, I liked watching "the Larry Sanders Show" even better.
I'm watching Mills right now. I know he's still injured, but he looks like a glorified Gerry McNamara. Great on the college level, not made for the NBA. If you limit it to "pure point guards" as opposed to guys like Warren and Evans who I think are awesome in the true sense of the word... then Maynor... well he looks better than Teague against weak competition, so that would put him in top three pure points with the two Euros, Jennings and Rubio. I bet that MikeD won't approve drafting a combo guard. Maynor's only defect is that he looks streaky, but Jennings is like that too from the Euro games I've watched and he should get better as a shooter once he's in the league. This Daye kid looks good too. Reminds me of maybe a Turkoglu type. Nice composed game. I saw him earlier in the year and wasn't impressed. 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?)

18pts 20reb and 7 blocks for Larry Sanders - Kid has a 7'7" wingspan... a 7'7" wingspan!
Dude can't shoot, but he's a smooth athlete. Closest thing I've seen to getting another chance at McGee. He stopped GMU's frontcourt from scoring all by himself. Probably won't come out though. Alan Hahn:

I think Mills will stay in school. Maynor is the deal. He is definitely a real PG- the only real question is his consistency vs. a high level of comp, but he seems to rise in the big games. I think he's gonna be real good.

Posted by JohnWallace44: I watched both St. Mary's games over the past two days. I know Mills is coming off an injury, but he talked a big game about how he wants to beat Gonzaga in the tournament. Then basically tried to beat them one on one, Nate Robinson style. He wasn't hitting anything and just kept jacking up shots. Maybe it was just one game, but you can't have a player like that leading your team. |

We can't draft Maynor because we already have "The Mayor" and it would be too confusing.

It's not so hard.

I haven't seen somebody make ankle breaking moves like that regularly outside of the And1 MixTape Tour.
It was pretty impressive. He reminds me a little bit of Kevin Martin. Maybe if Martin and Telfair had a love child... it would be Eric Maynor. If he could make moves like that on the NBA level he would become a sensation overnight. Alan Hahn:

Nobody has moves like that in the league. Craw made Sports Center every time he made somebody fall over with a crossover move.
This guy could do that on a regular basis. Alan Hahn:

^ yeah, but his strength scares me, at least out of the gate. Part of the reason he looks so good now is because he's a senior. He isn't a surefire prospect (in spite of me wanting o draft him). Any other draft and we'd all probably be focussing on his lack of muscle, but because it is a weaker class it's easier to focus on him being a winner.
I don't doubt he'll learn how to effectively use his crossover, but he's also going to have to learn to go strong versus NBA strength. It takes most points two or three years to make a major impact... I think it'll hold true here as well DLeethal wrote:
