I’m not going to assume that these are the only guys they’re interested in, but where’s DeRozan? Holiday? It’s comprehensive, which is good, but those two should be on the list.

other than Curry and Evans there is nobody on this list that would be a top-15 pick. This is just classic late-round scouting. I am surprised Holiday is not there. He seems like a potential target for the miami pick.

Thabeet not there either; I’d like that if they didn’t make it so publicly know; you never know…

I sure hope they’ll get a look at Jennings though, he’s so unknown.

Jennings and Holiday were pretty equal coming out of high school. Different, but equal. Jennings went to europe, struggled and is now in the draft. Holiday went to UCLA, contributed but did not go crazy. How are these two compared to each other? Why is one considered a top-10 and the other a 15-25?

…I think Jennings gets points for paying his dues and being a professional. Holiday made some comments about Howland’s system and he didn’t even put in the time Westbrook did 1 and 2 years ago. Jennings entered his European adventure with the Kid-n-Play fade, swagger, and having a knack for making the spectacular pass seem more about him than his teammates. He leaves a player that has had to come off the bench, play off the ball, run an offense, and be a man on his own. He didn’t complain a bit. That says a lot about the guy. I think this plus Jennings’ ridiculous athleticism and handle put him ahead of Holiday. Some team is going to look at a player like Aaron Brooks and see that sort of speedster (albeit without the shooting) in Jennings. Teams will look at Holiday and try to see Westbrook but only see about 1/2 of what the OKC rookie accomplished/is. To put it more plainly, Jennings ‘manned up’ while Holiday was a typical college kid.

of course it all depends on where they are picked too.

Jennings paid his dues as a professional essentially because he was caught attempting to cheat his way past the entry exams for college. (Back story: He scored horribly, retook the test and did very well — and then bombed a third attempt required because of the red flags test #2 had raised. Right? I believe that was it.)

As a prospect he’s a little maddening. The guy’s self-given nickname at one point was “Young Money” during his time in Rome. His maturity and professionalism definitely aren’t without question, in my book, though honestly I don’t dislike what I’ve seen of the kid personally. Jennings is one prospect where the interview really would matter some. (Thank goodness McHale won’t be in place to put him through the rigorous “brain typing” test.)

Btw .. why is Harrangody on that list…
