MKG at #12?

Doug Gottlieb has taken hatred of Kentucky to a point of needing to having his head examined.

Has anyone even looked at a draft projection that has Michael Kidd-Gilcbrist below #3, or maybe #4 at the lowest?

Mr. Gottlieb has MKG at #12.

Not a typo.

#12.

MKG is very young and everyone loves his competitive drive, but before you take him No. 2 overall, realize that he played a lot of 4 in college, has a funky jumper and probably translates into a defensive specialist who can rebound and score in transition, but not really wow anyone on offense. If he’s closer to 6-5 (instead of 6-7, his listed height at UK), which is shooting guard size, then what is he? A great kid to have on your team who will fight and scrap and become a double-digit scorer, but not an NBA All-Star, and maybe not a consistent starter.

The fact that someone has to pay to read this makes me think any guy on the street can throw a blog together and charge for it and people would actually do it.

By the way, I didn’t pay for it, Paxton did.
