As shooting guard is one of the biggest points of contentions in the positional rankings, I'd like to see some articles comparing shooting guards in the draft. As you find good articles, post them here.

Seems to have Lamb as the higher reward but Beal as the safer pick.

Just a ranked list. Wondering where our second round aspirations should stop on this list?

David Aldridge breaking it down. Addressess many of the concerns with the top guys, like Beal's mediocre shooting %.

Another list.

Lamb is more athletic and bigger but there is just something that I dont like about him. Cant really put my finger on it.....

From the eye test and just looking at stats Lamb is clearly the better player.

But for some reason I still would prefer Beal.

Will be interesting who turns out to be the better pro.

Exactly. Again, I asked about sgs because there seem to be so many people at the position that are worth drafting.

While opinions are obviously fine, I'd really like to see some article links posted.

Outside of Davis there isnt anyone that we can see that has a clear edge over the rest to be a "superstar".

Id say Lillard has the best combination or size, talent/skill, athleticism, and scoring ability.

Not sure why he is projected late lottery.

What leads you to that conclusion?

Is it his elite athleticism?

Is it his 20ppg average?

Is it his great shooting?

Is it his great ball-handling / passing?

(Note the sarcasm)

I like Beal but to suggest he is clearly better than rest is just a stretch.

I dont see how Terrance Ross is being so overlooked.

Great size and pretty athletic.

Good ball handler and shooter.

Good rebounder.

Ziggy, I like the way you posted an article on this thread! Thanks, buddy! I will read that and then have more to talk about than just my opinion.
