I feel Briscoe will be a lottery pick if he came out.

Projecting him in the mid range or lower is a joke.He has a nba body and game right now. Only weakness he has right now is his outside shot. But I'm sure he will work on that to get better. I like his game a lot.
 
2 games means nothing. If it did, Poythress would have been a top 5 pick years ago.

I like Briscoe and agree he could be a lottery pick but let's not go overboard because of 2 games he has played.

Briscoe should declare long before Ulis does. It doesn't matter how talented you are if you're 5'10, NBA scouts seem to only care about measurables.

Pretty much this. Chad Ford had Poythress #1 the day after his Duke explosion.

Conference play is the time we get to see if the player is real or not. Opponents make adjustments, consistent competition,etc.

PG is the deepest position in the league. With Briscoe lacking explosion + a consistent jumper, his value takes a big hit. He can change all that if he starts knocking down Js at a high rate.

I'm encourged that he's already gone from not being able to throw a free throw in the Ocean to making two while in pain....in a big game. He reminds me of Keith Bogans. He will work relentlessly to make sure he has a long NBA career.

he will go somewhere from 12-20 . If he proves he can make 3's at 36 % or better and free throws at 75% or better or somewhere in that area he will be top 15 but if he shoots 28% from 3 and 65 % from the line I expect he go around 20ish . Shooting is what keeps him from the lotto talk plain and simple because in all other aspects he is a pro now.
 
Briscoe is the best shooter (stats wise) on the team right now.

I'd agree he's at least a first rounder, and I think it's because of the effort, maturity, and attitude he's displaying. Love him thus far and I guarantee there are NBA scouts who are intrigued as well.

Heck - he's already outplayed a pre-season POY candidate in Allen.
 
Not having an outside shot is a pretty big deal for a guard...especially trying to compete at that level. I like his game, and his potential, but let's not get carried away.
 
Way to early to make that determination. He could play his way into the lottery or out of the draft completely. If he can knock down the outside shot and ft's he'll help himself and us immensely.
 
There are a lot of quality guards in the league that are mediocre shooters at best. It certainly helps to be able to shoot but let's not act like not being a good shooter is some sort of death sentence

Willis is a better shooter stats-wise

It isn't…but usually the non-shooting PGs are hyper-athletic. Which is also another one of his weaknesses.


I got his chances at sniffing the lotto very low. He ultimately settles for a low 1st round pick, which is still cool.

What are you doing here with a bait post? Go back to the UNC board with your drivel.

Folks all he is doing is goading you all into saying some outlandish things so he can go back to his hole and laugh. He was blacklisted a long time ago for doing this.
