[Brew Meister SmithParticipant]

[ReactionParticipant]

 C- Valenciunas

PF- Davis

SF- MKG

SG- Tough one between Lamb and Beal(partially because Beal hasn’t impressed me as much as I thought he would yet but that will probably change with Wall running point) so I’ll say Beal

PG- Lillard

[kobyzParticipant]

C- Jonas Valanciunas

PF – Joel Freeland

SF – Victor Claver

SG- Alexey Shved

PG – Nando De Colo

You forgot Tomislav Zubcic – lol.

[kobyzParticipant]

also i think Tornike Shengelia could surprise a lot of people…

[Brew Meister SmithParticipant]

True, but I just like saying Tomislav Zubcic more than saying Tornike Shengelia. 

Try repeating it three times fast:  TOMISLAV ZUBCIC TOMISLAV ZUBCIC TOMISLAV ZUBCIC.  See you can’t do it.

No seriously though.  The guy isn’t even coming to the NBA next year.  I think he is in Turkey and will likely be there for a while.  Does anyone know if he is on the Croation national team for the Olympics?

[ENOGSIWONdede]

 Croatia didn’t make the Olympics

[Brew Meister SmithParticipant]

Wow.  How does Cratia not make the Olympics in Basketball?  That’s like Belarus not making it for hockey.  What else do they have?

[ENOGSIWONdede]

 only 12 teams WBC is 24 so they will always make that, only 5 European teams and Britain stole one of them

 

Serbia/Montenegro did not make it either and basketball even bigger there

[Brew Meister SmithParticipant]

Bummer.  I guess they’ll always have ’92.

[Professor RozayParticipant]

Having a hard time picking between Barnes and MKG. Becasue I think Barnes can defind as good as MKG and he is a better at putting the ball in the basket. But MKG is someone that I would love to have on my team. The guy just gets the job down. It does not always look pretty but he makes it happen on the court on both ends.

1- Lillard

2- Jeremy Lamb

3- Barnes

4- Davis

5- Valanciunas

[Brew Meister SmithParticipant]

The Barnes / MKG dilema is definately the main position that could go either way.  I know Lamb is doing great in Summer league and Beal not as much, but I still think the best SG is Beal. 

I picked Barnes for a few reasons.  #1 being his shooting.  That is a skill that translates directly to the NBA next year.  MKG will have to develope his over a few seasons.  Defence also transfers directly to the NBA game, and as you mentioned they should both do fine there.

The only other factor would be which teams they are on.  Charlotte may give MKG extra time and focus since they don’t have much else, but I think the Warriors will be able to use Barnes in a more comfortable way for him.  He can play to his strengths right away, and will not have to overextend his skill set.

[kobyzParticipant]

this is my real one:

Damian lillard

Bradley Beal

MKG

Andrew Nicholson

Anthony Davis

[Sharp ShooterParticipant]

 1.Lillard 

2.Beal 

3. Barnes 

4.Davis 

5. Drummond

[blood]

 C – Drummond if he can start developing in to a monster that people thougt he will be,that is IMO 13,10,2 season(that is around same number that D12 had,he was at 10 ppg)

PF-Davis but its a 50 %-50% split between him and T-Rob if he gets his minutes and touches,i expect T-Rob to be better offensive player and more dominant rebounder but Davis better defender and also not bad rebounder Davis 12,8,3 and T-Rob 15,9 seasons

SF- this is one of the toughest positions, you have MKG( who could be Ron Artest who isnt retarded)then you have Barnes(who is my darkhorse pick with Lillard for ROY),then also Ross(if he plays SF),and 2 guys im high on that Harkless,and PJIII(he will be SF in this league),Harkless really has that star potential in him and Jones was top 5 pick year ago) Really alot of players,if i had to pick,i would go with Barnes-16,5,3 season

SG-Toss up between Lamb and Beal i expect both to average 15+ (Lamb if given right minutes)

PG-Lillard was a beast,he really dominated like he was a 3,4 year vet,i expect 16,6,4 season cause he will have alot of freedom since day 1

SG-Ross

SF-MKG

PF-Davis
