If he actually measured 6'9 (even 6'8 3/4) with a 7'3 standing reach we might take him. In fact I'd insist.

if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
because of his reach?

If Pippen was a high post Weber type of player you would made an excellent point.. MGK would be a closer Pippen and that's even far fetched..
That's what I was getting at. Who were you talking about?
The only reason I can find to want JR back is if he's still just as broken in NBA 2k13 as he was in 12 and 11. If he's not, pass.
I mean seriously, 31% shooting.

Yea. I mean he was virtually the best rebounder in college basketball last year, and I think the reach he has in combination with being close enough to 6'9 is good enough for me. I think he has potential offensively.
We'd have no low post offense between Nene and T-Rob though.

Beal measured two inches taller than people expected and taller than Gordon, not sure that will cause him to drop.
People expected him to be 6'2"? Reports were that he was really 6'5"
Awesome wingspan for a wing.

People thought he was 6'3 in shoes while he measured at 6'4 in shoes. His standing reach is pretty meh though.

ahh.. sorry I totally read that wrong lol..
Rumors about a #2 pick for Rudy Gay (more would go into it and it would probably involve a third team) trade going around...hmm
*looks at Gay's contract*
$16.5M in '12-'13, $17.9M in '13-'14, $19.3M in '14-'15
I'm perfectly fine with MKG at #2.
All this trade down stuff is cake and fluff really. As long as we don't end up taking Barnes or Drummond in the top 5, I'm okay.
Eh? Those are good numbers for a guard his size. Bigger than Eric Gordon and OJ Mayo. He's no D Wade though: 6'3.75" (socks), 6'10.75" (wingspan), 8'6" (reach)
Roy only had a 6'8 wingspan and 8'5 reach, fyi, and he was a legit 2" taller.
EDIT: DraftExpress already has the numbers up!

Hearing a rumbling that the Magic might try and send JJ + 19th to the Hornets for the 10th pick + Ariza. Considering the Hornets want capspace they could immediately waive JJ since he's fully unguaranteed next year. Ariza's better than Hedouche...but not by much.

MKG's stuttering problem makes his interviews really really awkward.

For comparison:
Dwight Howard:

PJIII:
6'10.25" (socks), 7'1.5" (wingspan), 8'10.5" (reach), ?? (vert), 12'4" (jumping reach, according to Twitter)

Gordon has better wingspan though. And like I thought Lamb has the best physical tools out of any guard. Ross numbers are underwhelming.
Beal isn't Roy though. Beal is bad at shooting on the move. Why everyone ignores this is baffling to me. To me that is a big negative if you are looking for a guy to give you 20ppg.
41.5" for a 6'10 dude? Jesus.

Garnett played small forward when he came into the league.
Just to put that 41.5" into perspective... the 40" vert club is pretty much reserved for guards:

DeAndre Jordan? 30.5"
Blake Griffin? 35.5"

Vince Carter? 43"

That's true. Luke Babbitt measure in very well as did Kevin Love, but I think it holds true in PJ3's case.
How quickly you jump matters, too.

Lillard is long as hell with huge hands.
Zeller has fallen out of my favor. Them T-Rex arms aren't gonna cut it in the NBA.

Red flag is when none of the strengths are basketball skills.
These guys are more like volley ball jumpers. They can get up, but they get up off the ground slow.
Deummond compared himself to Durant. Dude can't even hit freethrows and thinks he can play like Durant? lolololololol

I can see why Thomas Robinson and MGK are considered top 3 in the lottery. I don't understand why Beal's name is always up there. Everything I read about him is solid, but nothing spectacular. His 3-point shooting was not that great for a supposed specialist. Unless he can play as a playmaking 2-guard, I have a hard time seeing him in the top 3.

Farmar has a 42" vert?

He reminds people of Gordon and was a top player coming out of HS that's why. I think he will be a solid guard, but I don't see star potential at all. And where he is being projected is where you would take a guy that has star potential.
Jerryd looks like a good combo guard when he gets playing time and Babbitt didn't look bad this year.
Something needs to happen. Don't see how it will work with him here after his comments.

I can see Lowry being dealt to Orlando, they desperately need a PG not named Jameer.
