I wouldn't be surprised if Morey drafted Jimmer at 14

    Jimmer is going to be a special player IMO. If he can improve his handles and Court awareness. which I think he can. He has the ability to be like a Steve Nash. Jimmer has all the attributes Morey likes in his draft picks. 1) older collegiate players 2) elite collegiate offensive players 3) High IQ 4)good value

    Jimmer has all of those. IMO, he is going to be the 14th if he is available :)

    Yeah Morey views highly of Jimmer but it's not likely he lasts til 14 and he's not worth moving up and trading assets to acquire. I do agree he would be strongly considered at 14 if he does somehow slide on draft night.

    I would be very surprised if Houston drafts Jimmer, because i don't think he will make it that far.

    As much as I think he'll be as bust, I would happy to have him. Nobody else really excites me. I also know very little about college basketball.

    You have the ability to care less? Seems to be a useless statement, as that is a standard situation. Maybe you meant you CAN'T or COULDN'T care less.

    Onto thread topic, I think Jimmer is going to be JJ Reddick or Jason Terry AT BEST, I'm not to interested, would rather seem the Rockets get someone with length (TWSS).

    Yes, folks can care less. If he couldn't care less, he probably wouldn't be posting in this thread. Folks can also care more. Do I care who the Rockets draft - yes. Could I care more - yes. Could I care less - yes.

    Why does everyone on this board underrate kyle lowry? If he plays even close what he did after the all star break for the whole season he'll be mentioned among the best pg's in the league. Dragic is a fine backup.

    Guy won't even be as good as Dragic, much less Lowry.

    Utah will take him anyway, the point is moot.

    The entire city (it seems) underrates the guy. Myself personally, I'm done trying to convince folks that I talk to about the dude.

    The only thing I worry about is his FG%. Can he keep it up to last seasons highmark? Otherwise, dude's solid at D, dribble penetration, and moving the ball. I think a lot of people tuned out last season and don't realize that he's moved on from the castoff Memphis backup identity that most people know him for.

    I'll be honest... I get pissed when I hear people even mention trying to get CP3 here. Kyle Lowry is getting better with time. If there's a pg in this draft that ends up being as good as Kyle Lowry than the team who picks him up has at the worst a solid starter for years or at best a borderline franchise player. Don't get me started on the whole "toughness" factor

    I'd say that's a minority opinion honestly. I think most people do realize how good Lowry is and if they don't...well just remember these are the same people that thought AB was an all-star player lol...
