DraftSite's comments: "Brow down when we come to town. Great feeling since everyone has screwed us in the past. Promising future. Good building block. Will protect the paint for the next decade and then some." - Tony DeVito

DraftSite's comments: "I'm ecstatic! I thought Cleveland was going to trade to get Beal. Perfect compliment to John Wall. Besides Wall, which everyone knew we were going to pick, this is the first 1st round pick I'm excited about. D.C. loves this pick!" -Kyle Thompson

DraftSite's comments: "Not happy. Really wanted Bradley Beal or Kidd-Gilchrist. Knew we were screwed when they were picked. Is he really better than Lillard if they really needed a scorer? Not exceedingly happy but give them the benefit of the doubt. Said the same thing about Weeden with the Browns but now I'm happy" -Tom & Jared Rogers

6' 9"

DraftSite's comments: "An excellent pick! Surprised he didn't go number 2 and fell into our laps at 5. When I saw everyone else was getting picked I said they better pick him. It was no brainer for the Kings. I was going to yell, shout, cry, scream, and kick if they didn't pick Robinson. Expecting big things from the Kings this year. Hopefully the pieces are there to start being contenders in the west." -Steve Cruz

DraftSite's comments: "I love Lillard. He's athletic and can shoot. He was the 2nd best scorer in the NCAA. They needed a point guard and haven't had one since Damon Stoudamire, if you count him as one. He's 6'3" and a big guard. He actually said he wanted to play in Portland. That's tough because you can't normally find a lot of people who want to play there." -James, Portland

DraftSite's comments: "Barnes was way better than the 7th pick in the draft. I think he's the 4th best player. Curse of the Warriors is over. Fact that he is a small forward is perfect because it's exactly what we need. Thank Cleveland for being terrible at taking players." -Lucas

DraftSite's comments: "Shocked that Andre Drummond fell to them. Very excited! Thought he's be taken by Golden State at 7. Great addition to the from court. Paired with Greg Monroe, they should be a force for years to come." -Adam Hertz

DraftSite's comments: "I think he's a player that can score. Monty and Dell said before the draft that's what they needed and he's the definition of that. Real excited for the way it's going down in New Orleans. Between these two picks and Gordon, there's a good foundation to build on." -Wade Kreider

DraftSite's comments: "Very excited for Meyers Leonard. Didn't expect him to fall. Tallest guy in draft and most athletic big guy. Watched him at the combine and the dude looks like he is going to be really good. I was afraid they were going to take a power forward and move LaMarcus to center. Fulfills what Greg Oden could have been and feel that we are ready to compete after last year's disappointment." -Bill Donlon

DraftSite's comments: "Now that Henson recovered from his injured hand, he'll be swatting shots all over the Central division. Excellent value pick at 14. Wasn't on the Bucks board because they thought he'd be taken by Detroit at 9. Overall pretty happy and pleased with the pick." -Reid Otto

DraftSite's comments: "Absolutely despondent. If you are going to draft Harkless, trade down. Not the right value at 15. Need bigs. Stuck in mediocrity, which as we know is purgatory in the NBA. Need to be more creative and make moves." -Noah Marmar

Scouting Report
Offense Strengths -As long, athletic and versatile of a player as there is o Gets buckets as a result of this combination - Excellent in the high post as a passer o Understands angles - Can shoot the mid-range jumper with equal ease: o On the catch o Off the bounce - Solid mechanics on jumper (need reinforcement through reps) - Can start the fastbreak by himself o Leads it at times - Takes high percentage shots - Extremely fluid with and without the ball - Has noticeably improved his effort when attempting to corral offensive rebounds o Boxes out more now instead of just going for the ball - Good screener; uses his body well Weaknesses - Should be a much more dominant force on the interior, given his size, length, and athleticism o Too reliant on these abilities - Lacks true low post game - Does not have go-to moves - Doesn’t use left hand when necessary - Consistency and range on jumper are very improvable - Strength Defense Strengths - Can guard multiple positions o Potential value is scary high - Combination of length, height, and athleticism is extremely rare Weaknesses - Lacks focus and effort at times, especially when rebounding, and as a result his numbers are less than stellar - Foul trouble - Strength - Shot blocking is not at the level that it should be at - Not sure about understanding of man-to-man principles o Baylor plays primarily zone defenses Coming into college as a highly regarded player oozing with upside, Perry Jones is the prototypical prospect whose upside and potential far outweighs his current production...
