I am definitely not shocked that Austin Rivers is on this list. I don't know why he even considered leaving school early. However, I am disappointed Thomas Robinson is on here. I expected the guy to be almost like a Lamar Odom type (as far as his ball handling and athleticism) with more bulk and aggressiveness.

Serious note, Thomas Robinson is it for me.

I feel the same on both Rivers and Robinson.

Robinson has been a big upset so far.

Yeah I'm with you on Rivers.. I literally have NO CLUE as to where all his hype came from at all..

IMO he shouldn't have even been a first round pick. Much less a damn lottery pick!

I'm sure he'll end up a decent pro, he has a good work ethic, good genes, and can play two positions.. But the Hornets really needed a guy who contribute NOW!

NBA scouts and GMs really need to learn that what a player does in high school doesn't matter.

It has gotta be T-Rob for me. I live in Lawrence, KS and attend KU so the hype around here was huge for him, I heard countless drunk people at bars telling me how he was going to be "rookie of the year" and would even be able to play a strong 3 in the league.

Now I am a behind the scenes Missouri fan so I never ever bought into the hype, T-Rob plays with fire but he gets lost in the game sometimes and not in a good way. During the tournament he spent half the time firing up jumpers to try and improve his draft stock. I think down the road he could fill in as a decent role player but I don't see much more from him, the Morris twins are more valuable I think.

Oh and also, Bradley Beal had a pretty damn good game last night.

I disagree with Beal. He had a rough start but he has been playing well recently

Nice to see Ross isn't on that list considering how much heat Raptors got for drafting him when they did(I still don't understand that at all. They didn't wanna give up the pick that they had which they drafted Ross in, to get Lowry, but now they gave up what could be a top 5 pick for Lowry instead,a top 5 pick which the Thunder have)
