I think there are 4 guys In this draft who will be steals outside the lottery Jeffery Taylor Deron Lamb Marcus Teague Mo Harkless
You know who? Somebody who will never be mentioned in any of this topics on various forums. Who predicted that Isaiah Thomas - selected 60. by Kings and ended seventh in final rankings - will be the biggest steal of the previous draft? Who predicted that Parsons will be a top 10 rookie? Probably somebody who's only a tiny little blip on the radar of professional scouts and mainstream public has never heard about before.
This is the time of year when everyone is obsessed with size. Everyone is convinced that their particular guy can add skills, when no one can ever add size. This year's steal will be Tu Holloway, probably the smallest guy the draft. The guy can score at will. Don't let his percentages fool you, he takes tougher shots than anyone else and can really shoot. His court vision is also impressive and he can run the pick and roll pretty well, an NBA staple. If that's all he were capable of he might not crack a rotation, but he's also a really good defender and plays hard all the time. Coaches love that quality and will eventually give him the time to shine. I'd compare him closely to Jameer Nelson, another small PG that few saw coming.
All I know is Maury is going to draft Rivers and say that he is a bigger steal than when we drafted Ppat and Marcus Morris.
I've been watching Gamecocks this tourney and PJ Dozier looks like a DeRozan clone and Chris Silva from Gabon is super raw, only started playing basketball as a sophomore when he moved to the US, but could have huge upside.
