[franklin]

Guys projected to go top 30 that you want nothing to do with at #21.

Mine is Franklin.

 

[Revolution 9]

Olynyk

 

[The Midnight]

Plumlee.

 

[The Midnight]

And Withey.

I just don't trust NBA prospects who look like accountants.

Here's a good starter list, but feel free to add others who you think will go first round (kinda oxymoron).

Welcome to Colton's 2013 Mock Draft Compilation, v. 1.0. Here are who the mock drafts are listing as the "best players". See below for details. It should give a pretty good idea of who will be available when the Jazz pick at 14 and 21.

1 Nerlens Noel
2 Ben McLemore
3 Otto Porter
4 Victor Oladipo
5 Anthony Bennett
6 Alex Len
7 Trey Burke
8 C.J. McCollum
9 Cody Zeller
10 Michael Carter-Williams
11 Shabazz Muhammad
12 Steven Adams
13 Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
14 Kelly Olynyk
15 Dennis Schroeder
16 Shane Larkin
17 Rudy Gobert
18 Dario Saric*
18 Jamaal Franklin
18 Gorgui Dieng
21 Mason Plumlee

23 Jeff Withey
24 Giannis Adetokunbo
25 Tony Mitchell
26 Allen Crabbe
27 Lucas Nogueira

I guess it depends on how you define "bust", but I'll say Larkin and Plumlee. I don't see either of them ever becoming more than average backups.

 

[The Midnight]

Olynyk

Plumlee.

And Withey.

There is a trend......

 

[Duck Rodgers]

Steven Adams. He does not look anything like what scouting reports claim he is in his videos to me.

Otto Porter is going to be a bust based on where he gets picked. If anybody takes him over Anthony Bennett, they are absolute fools.

Tony Snell is a name that is popping up around 20 on some sites. Wouldn't pick him. He would've been a lot more productive at New Mexico if he had NBA game.

Definitely Jamal Franklin too. His game is awkward.

I give Hardaway Jnr a hard time. But if he's picked late 1st early 2nd, and can fulfill that backup SG role for a lottery bound team, then is he really a bust? What's the definition of a bust? Isn't it somebody getting picked high and not playing up to the expectation?? If Hardaway Jnr is picked low, and can fulfill that backup SG role is he really a bust???

Another one is Larkin, if he's picked #10, I guarantee he'll be a bust. But if he's picked #25, and can become a solid backup PG - is he really a bust then???!!!
