Picking Napier that early in the first would be a mistake.

napier really reminds me of trey burke if burke went in the lottery why can't napier go like mid 1st round at least?

James Young had a sweet dunk, but he is not ready for the NBA. He plays 0 defense and is a horrible passer. He is too reckless off the dribble as well.

20 really isn't that early in the first. Although of the guys I listed there are others I'd pick before him. Stauskas is the guy I want no doubt. Hood would be great too.

Definitely, but he's really athletic and can hit 3's at a decent rate.. That always lands you a spot on a roster.. He could eventually be a JR Smith or Nick Young type of player.

Re: 2014 Draft Class

Really not excited about this national championship game.. Both teams caught some lucky breaks getting here, I don't feel we are watching the two best "teams".. At least lots of talent will be on the court.

I feel like this is generally the case every year. March Madness is a **** show, but it's entertaining to see who makes it through to the end. But any time you play a win-or-go-home tournament with 66 or whatever teams, you're rarely going to see the top team actually win.

You can definitely see the similarities in their approaches to the game. I just think Burke was a better player, and he's younger too. Having said that, I was never high on Burke as an NBA prospect, so I'm not all that high on Shabazz either. I think he's worth a end of the 1st-early 2nd kinda pick though.

He can potentially be a similar player down the road, but as of now, he's an inconsistent shooter that struggles to finish and is pretty much terrible on defense and passing.

You can definitely see the potential there, but I think he'd struggle to get NBA minutes if he declares this year.

If Gary Harris comes back do you think he'll be top 5 in 2015?

I honestly think its really difficult for upperclassmen to be picked that early these days. GMs are always going to be looking at potential and upperclassmen dont have as many "developing" years left in their eyes.

Re: 2014 Draft Class

I think the 2015 class as a whole is pretty weak right now. Then again I don't think that highly of any of the big men really & outside of Mudiay, I don't think there are any impact guards either.

Re: 2014 Draft Class

Lets wait until we get to see the class. I mean damn... one class at a time here lol

I'm just saying that from what I have seen from the guys. Obviously a lot can change in the next year or so, especially from a S&C perspective once these guys get on campus.

I'm really interested to see how Tyus Jones does. He looks like he's an extremely talented guy, but athleticism will likely be a concern.

I think he'll be a good college player but idk about his NBA future. He should average 6+ assists next year at Duke though, especially if Parker ends up coming back.

Re: 2014 Draft Class

I feel like if you go to Duke you gotta stay 4 years and graduate. If you're gonna be one and done, go to a school that's less serious academically, save the Duke scholarships for ball players who are serious about their studies.

I think the rule is stupid in general...but this isn't the place for a rant lol.
