April 4, 201214 yr I'd rather they just put the spots and not the teams. Even seeing a mock draft with the Bobcats getting Davis is enough to make me sick. :lol:
April 4, 201214 yr Author ^ Yeah no kidding, I would hate that for him. 5 of the UK guys in the first round.
April 4, 201214 yr ^ Yeah no kidding, I would hate that for him. 5 of the UK guys in the first round. And Miller only 5 spots into the 2nd round at 35th overall.
April 4, 201214 yr Draft will be interesting this year, I cannot wait to watch. I have seen Nuggets taking Jones in a lot of mocks, but I don't think he fills a need for them and will be log jammed with forwards.
April 4, 201214 yr Would love to see the Wiz win the lottery and pair Davis with Wall. I think Wizards merch sales would smash records with an exodus of gear being shipped into the bluegrass.

April 4, 201214 yr That list is 100% useless unless the guy thinks no foreign players will be picked. When's the last time that happened?
April 5, 201214 yr I take Robinson over Barnes. Was thinking them same thing. But we all know the NBA loves to draft based on potential and Barnes is more versital at this point.
April 5, 201214 yr Author That list is 100% useless unless the guy thinks no foreign players will be picked. When's the last time that happened? Yes there will be some foreign players but usually it's very difficult to predict unless you have some big names. I haven't heard of any this year.
April 5, 201214 yr I just don't see any way Sullinger or PJ3 turn out to be good pros. They might but the way they played in college doesn't translate to the pro game. If that mock turns true, Teague and Lamb need to come back and raise that stock before the loaded 2013 recruiting class comes in.
April 6, 201214 yr Yes there will be some foreign players but usually it's very difficult to predict unless you have some big names. I haven't heard of any this year. The problem is that someone is going to get in the ear of some kid on that list near the bottom and convince him he's a #1 when reality says he will slide due to foreign players.
April 6, 201214 yr The problem is that someone is going to get in the ear of some kid on that list near the bottom and convince him he's a #1 when reality says he will slide due to foreign players. Marquis Teague and Doron Lamb come to mind.
April 6, 201214 yr Marquis Teague and Doron Lamb come to mind. One is a PG product of Calipari which is(unfortunately as a UK fan) worth the risk for most NBA teams, while Lamb is a scorer that has really improved a great deal over the past two years and shown he recognizes his game still needs work. While they both could drop off, IMO any one below #15-20 in mock draft projections shouldn't feel certain about where or when they will get drafted.
