Thought this might deserve its own thread...

Its an insider article. PM me if you want more info, but they compare Scheyer to Nash in a favorable way and say that Singler needs to become a lock-in 3pt shooter.

I think the interpretation you've provided for the Scheyer analysis is a little bit rosier than the article actually suggests. It does reference Nash in comparison to Scheyer, but only in style/concept. The actual role he suggests is a much lesser role than that of Nash (I think saying any more than that probably is a violation).

That said, I think it's a pretty fair analysis of those guys as well as some others involved in the game.

Saw that earlier today. I think Nolan might be the best NBA prospect on Duke because he's so quick and can create his own shot. Seems like a perfect change of pace guy off the bench.

Ed Davis has not made himself any $ this year.

I agree. I don't think Smith's game fits as a starter, but his ability to attack off the dribble is definitely "third guard" material if he keeps progressing.
