Following potential 2012 draftees

I don't understand how nbadraft.net can have Kabongo, Teague, Wroten and other freshman that would really benefit from another year in school, in this years draft. Then a player like Miller is projected to go next year. Also, if the Hornet draft Sullinger with their own pick and then they get Minny's unprotected this year and they draft Terrance Jones? Bad draft? That would be an understatment.

Beside ESPN, what other sites do you recommend? (I am not about to pay to read something on the internet. Being an insider is such a scam)

ESPN sucks just as bad, well almost. draftexpress.com is the only one with an ounce of credibility. Johnathan Givony gets overly opinionated and gets down on players with too much personal emphasis, but he has the best connections by far.

I am looking for something else to balance DX with. I agree, I really like what he does but I believe in the power of 2 witnesses. Ha, that reminds me of my missionary days.

I hear ya' but there's no other site, that I am aware of, that has demonstrated much accuracy at all. I take the DX scouting and combine it with what I personally see on the court and, more importantly, watching which NBA teams have personnel at which games. You can tell quite a bit from the latter. Every UK game, for example, has at least 3 or 4 NBA teams there to watch. I find out later (from the coaching staff) who they were there to see .. gives a bit of an idea of 1) where that franchise believes they'll be falling in the draft, and 2) where they believe the player will be chosen.

Any insider information that you can share? Teams that are looking and which players they are looking at?

Obviously, most teams watch a lot of players (10 or so) so there's no real inside info, per se. Having said that, the Wizards are in love with Anthony Davis. The Kingsm Pistons, and Hornets are all over Gilchrist and all of these are they're actually showing Teague some love as well.

The Jazz were in twice (that I know of) to specifically watch Gilchrist and Teague. They cooled on Teague and haven't been in to see Gilchrist in a while (guessing because of draft status??).

I know the Jazz have watched Miller, they're not high on P or T Jones.

More later as I remember and/or hear anything else. I'm sure I'll get blasted for sharing info .. if I do, I'll PM you some stuff.

I would appreciate that a lot. Anyone who does blast you for sharing that info can go to h***. I got your back.

P.S. The h*** stands for heck
 
i actually like to read the write up on nbadraft.net. i think they are pretty spot on when it comes to strengths and weaknesses.
