NBA Draft

[blablabla]

Davis and Gilchrist will be the best Players out of this draft imo
I also think Green and Rivers will be huge steals
TRob will be good too

I see Rivers returning to school. So he wont be a steal.

you know what stands out to me: UTAH
Utah and OKC are the future of the Western Conf.
They are already loaded for the future, they get two more good picks, and then in position to trade Millsap and/or AlJeff to further balance/enhance their team.
If I am a Jazz fan, I like the future.

Totally agree, they've done a masterful job of blowing the team up and rebuilding.

The Blazers are doing a good job of it as well though there are more moves they'll need to make. If that pick they got from the Nets ends up being a 4 or 5 then that deal will turn into a HUGE win for them.

Wow, I really like Q. Miller and if we can land him with Houston's pick Ill feel more Optimistic.

I was positive he was going to light it up this year. Reminded me of Kevin Durant coming out of HS for whatever reason. Was way off, same with Perry Jones too.

Hope Wroten slips or even Q.Miller at this point down to Denver somehow.

Yeah agreed, I was projecting him to be a top pick in this draft, that ACL injury he suffered in his Senior year was bad. I think he could be a steal, definitely a marketable guy.

What you have to love about Davis is assuming his head is right, the worst comparable player he could become is Marcus Camby. Now some folks most scoff and say you don't take a "Marcus Camby-esque player at #1" but Camby went #2. Would the Bobcats really be upset if they draft a guy who goes on to win multiple DPOY & is a guaranteed 10 pt/10 rb/2 blk guy into his late 30s/early 40s? I say they would be ecstatic.

exactly. Too many people focus on a players ceiling and ignore their floor. Davis is as close to a sure stud as you can get. minimum

Davis is a far more skilled offensive player than people give him credit for. He's NBA ready and he'll grow into his frame.

Rivers isn't close to ready. I'll be shocked if he comes out.

if cleveland even thinks about taking cody zeller i will be so pissed off.

i want beal, lamb, perry jones.... if we end up doing really well in the lottery than hopefully MKG

but cody zeller?

In my mind there is no question that Cody Zeller will be a better pro then Perry Jones. He has a much better feel for the game. Perry Jones has a weak post game and loves to step back and shoot jumper. If Cody Zeller can become stronger, he will be a very solid C.

If Houston gets Austin Rivers with that pick from the Lakers I will be pissed

wow would that suck. but i highly doubt rivers falls that far

Absolutely, I was talking about this with a friend the other day. I was a bit suprised the Jazz didn't make any moves this year at the deadline. They are so loaded with young talent and a lot of it is still sitting the bench. With a few more good young players this year they're going to be forced to make a trade and the players on the block will have their stock go down. Anyway around it, I think the Jazz fans have a lot to look forward too. That's going to be a fun team to watch.

On a different note, based on this mock draft there's part of me that likes Drummond falling to the Pistons and part of me that doesn't. He wasn't that impressive this year, but there is a lot of upside. The Pistons have needed another big man for a while. There's just a big chance for him to end up being a bust too.

Best case for Davis is Sacramento kings with that group of gaurds and cousins

I wonder how much of Lillard most have seen- Same goes to the other 2 biggest pg prospects out of the pac 12- Jared Cunningham will come from nowhere and shoot way up the lists, and Tony wroten is the real deal and should be looked at as a lottery/teens pick

The PAC 12 was so bad this year it's going to be tough for all those guys to get big time attention. Wasn't the conference 1-29 against top 50 teams? Of the 3 Wroten seems like the best prospect so far. He could be the real deal.

NC to have 5 guys go in the lottery, wow. I remember the hype about 5 Kentucky guys in the first round, and one of those only squeaked in and didn't really play in college or pros (Daniel Orton).

I really don't understand how or why McAdoo is being projected as even a lottery pick, never mind top 7. He got plenty of minutes all season long and never really emerge as the 5* top 5 recruit UNC expected until the latter part of ACC play. Don't get me wrong, he's looked very good lately, but he still needs to show the ability to hit his 12-15 foot jumper with more consistency and show more ability and comfort scoring with his back to the basket. He's a 6'8" tweener forward (some think he could project as a SF but he's a perfect NBA PF with his athletic ability) who needs some polish on a lot of things. There's a ton of potential there, though.

I'm still not 100% sure about Marshall. He was averaging close to 15 points a game to go along with 10 assists over UNC's last 6 or 7 games and scoring was his biggest question mark. I 100% expect Barnes and Henson to go pro (Zeller is a senior) I'm about 50/50 on McAdoo and Marshall.

Trob's my favourite player out of this draft....

Interested how he goes in these next few games of the tournament
Dude looks like a beast waiting to happen
