2012 NBA Draft Thread

[bleacherbum54]

Just a couple things, I watched all three Plumlee's play high school ball at Christ School here in town. Neither of the older two brothers are true 7 footers, the youngest is (red shirted last year). Miles is 6'10"ish. They're athletic, can play D against post players not slashing driving players (slow feet). He's a big bodied individual and I can see him playing a role at the NBA level. He has skills. One particular game, Christ School was having issues bringing the ball up the court vs. some strong fast guards, Miles switched to point and brought the ball up the court every time, and didn't turn it over once. Of the 3 Plumlee brothers, he is the most versatile.

In the NBA you have to be able to guard the PnR and I just dont think Miles can. I just dont see what he will bring to a team that we couldn't of got in a free agent with a MIN level guy. Mind you I am a best player available guy in the draft. There were about 20 players I would of took over Plumlee.


I hope the kid proves me wrong but I dont see it. especially when guys like PJ3 and Moultrie fall. I love OKC's model just take BPA.


But they did break that a few years ago trading up for Aldridge because they needed a C another guy I though wasnt a true NBA player.
