    he looked very athletic in those high lights and comes from a good program in zona.

    I love this pick. I really think he could be another second round steal for us.

    Love this pick based on what little I've seen.

    Who cares if he's an undersized 2-guard if he can guard point guards. James Harden is the de facto PG anyway. Somebody to throw at the Westbrook-type PGs & small-ish SGs.

    From DraftExpress:http://www.draftexpress.com/article/Nick-Johnson-Updated-Scouting-Report-4457/
    I'm tempering expectations, and its weird to be excited about a 2nd round pick, but I like this pick.

    He's the next nick van exel/Jason terry. Nice scorer off the bench.

    Great defender and a good shooter from distance? I like it, could get some minutes at the 2.

    We all know morey disregards position size. And I'm fine with this pick although I wanted kj mcDaniels. Anyone have measurements and/or saber metrics (?)and combine results?

    I like Courtney Lee. If he becomes a better version of him, that would be awesome.

    Why would we take an undersized SG when we need a PG? Jordan Clarkson, 6-4, of Missouri was there for the taking. I would not have been ecstatic had they taken him in the first round (guaranteed contract) but not taking him in the second is another Morey sin.

    He'll be like Rose or Westbrook, very athletic but too short to be a SG in the NBA so he'll have to pretend to be a PG.
