Russ Smith is a 6'1" shooting guard at this point.

How Russ got the refs to give him 10 free throws a game the first 5 games of the tourney I will not understand, but it certainly unnaturally inflated his draft stock.

Re: 2012-2013 NBA draft prospects thread
Amazing what point guards have become anymore and that guys like Russ Smith and Trey Burke can be thought so highly of. No thanks to any "point guard" who is going to dribble for 15secs of the shot clock and then either take on 3guys at the hole, or hoist up a 3 from 5ft behind the arc. Ball dominant point guards irritate me to no end.Comment

Not that this site is the end all be all, but in the past it has been relatively accurate. FWIW they do not have Russ Smith going in the draft period.Comment

Russ Smith's basketball IQ is just as bad as Gerald Green's. No way.Comment

Re: 2012-2013 NBA draft prospects thread
As much as I agree with this sentiment, that's 90% of the PG position nowadays. The game has changed, and unless you have a ball dominant wing, chances are you're gonna have this type of PG starting for you (obviously with a few exceptions)Comment

Re: 2012-2013 NBA draft prospects thread
Dieng is the player I have wanted the Pacers to target for a while now. He is a long defensive force, with enough touch to garner some offensive prowess. He is a better jump shooter than I realized even, which makes me that much more high on him. I doubt he gets to us now unfortunately.
Russ Smith I want no part of.
Trey Burke I would love to get, but I'm partial. Here's the thing with Burke. Some NBA team is now going to draft him in the top ten with huge expectations for him to be some game changer for the franchise. That is terrible for him. He is a modest guy who works hard and is very mature. He would fit in great with a more mature team where he can fit in a role and work on his game over a couple of years. He's played himself onto a worse team that will likely not have many veterans and he will be asked to be more than what he is. I love the kid in the second half of the draft, hate seeing him in the top half.
Peyton Siva is a kid I would take a chance on in the late second round, sure. But he's still got too many holes in his game as a prospect to be anything other than a late flyer."Your course, your path, is not going to be like mine," West says. "Everybody is not called to be a multimillionaire. Everybody's not called to be the president. Whatever your best work is, you do it. Do it well. … You cease your own greatness when you aspire to be someone else."Comment

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...Comment

Ford's first mock draft.
Has the Kings taking Shabazz which would create the biggest dumpster fire of a roster anyone has ever seen.
