Re: Wolves 2008 Draft, with assumptions
The thing about point guards is:
Telfair: so far, in the NBA, he's shooting a lot...and not making the shots. On the other hand, unlike Foye, he is a legit PG who can handle pressure. And he can pass. And I'll never forget the times he shut down people when he set his mind to it, like Livingston in the McDonalds game or Ukic in the Hoop Summit.
Foye: going to be a very good player, but I am not sold on his ability to be a real PG. And if there is one thing I"ve noticed, it's that not a lot of guys finally turn into PGs at the NBA level. A few might, but a lot reach that awkward combo status at best. So while Foye may be a nice passer and handler from the SG spot, does that mean he'll take charge of a team as a legit PG? As a guy like Doc Rivers...(who bounced back and forth often)
Jaric: I actually like him. But he's not a legit starting PG at this level, and is better equipped to be a utility point forward.
Buckner: ahahaha.
So if you get a shot at a real PG, take it. But Mayo isn't a real PG, he's a guy who can play PG. I'm not sure, with his scoring mentality, he's the guy.
