June 21, 201313 yr Now that it is under a week away I'm ready to watch. Most pundits are saying it's the weakest class since 2000. When you look at the names in the lottery you have to agree.
June 21, 201313 yr The draft has been something that I have really enjoyed paying attention too since Calipari went to Kentucky. Not as excited as this year, but still looking forward to it.
June 21, 201313 yr Author I had heard (BS Report Podcast I think) that the Wizards said they wouldn't draft Noel even if he fell to them. There are rumors that he has a legit shot at dropping. I have no clue if that is true or not.
June 21, 201313 yr Whether he goes #1 or #10 hopefully he goes into a situation where he can fully heal and succeed.
June 21, 201313 yr Author Who do you guys think will be the best player in this draft? Simmons is in the bag for Oladipo.
June 21, 201313 yr Who do you guys think will be the best player in this draft? Simmons is in the bag for Oladipo. It's really hard to say. I think it depends on how well Noel recovers, like Calipari said he is the best talent with the most potential. His game had a lot of growth just in his short time at UK, he should continue to develop in an NBA system. With that said I think its a toss up. Although there is a lack of a true superstar in this draft class, I do think there are a lot of guys who are going to be contributors for years to come. The situation some of these guys get drafted to may determine who will be the best player from this class when it's all said and done.
June 21, 201313 yr Author Looks like Alex Len will go #1 now. I know about him, but what is the explination for why his college team didn't do very well last year? It isn't like he was at a small school.
June 21, 201313 yr Looks like Alex Len will go #1 now. Typical Cavs....That'll go down in history right alongside the Candyman as the worst #1 pick of all-time.
June 21, 201313 yr I typically don't like drafts (NBA, NFL, NHL whatever) but I'll probably tune in a little this year to see where the UofL guys might end up.
June 21, 201313 yr Typical Cavs....That'll go down in history right alongside the Candyman as the worst #1 pick of all-time. Yeah I mean they are drafting Len because of his upside and potential? Not that he doesn't possess those things, I think he will be a solid player, but if you are drafting a Center on upside and potential wouldn't most rather go with Nerlens? I think it all boils down to the fact they feel better about Len's foot than they do Nerlens knee.
