Following potential 2013 draftees

[orangello]

A number of NBA GMs -- including the Celtics’ Danny Ainge, the Jazz’s Kevin O’Connor, Bulls’ Gar Forman, the Warriors Bob Myers and the Blazers Neil Olshey -- were in attendance. Overall, they are seeing the same phenomenon here that they are seeing everywhere. This is a down season, talent wise, in the NCAA. “If Cody Zeller, Shabazz Muhammad, Nerlens Noel and James McAdoo are your top four picks, it’s going to be an ugly, ugly draft.” Other than McAdoo, I couldn’t find a scout or GM convinced there was another first-round prospect here. If Kabongo plays, that could be two. But that explains, in part, why the field is so weak. ESPN.com



Awesome...

This does worry me. Is it wrong that I hope that the GST go into super tank mode again?

Credible quotes but awful take. There's some very, very good talent in this class.

Did Mcadoo improve his athleticism dramatically or is it just me? He looks a lot more explosive.

I'd grade him an average athlete. No idea whether he's improved, though.

I thought he was even possibly below average last year but he looks quicker, has had some nice dunks, playing well so far.

 

[Dr. Jones]

He's a very solid player. I thought he was bit overrated coming out of high school, but always thought a top10 pick. High bb IQ.

As for UNC, remember to also watch for Bullock and Hairston .. two great perimeter shooters that have more than just that aspect to their games.

Don't worry about it, they said the 2011 draft class was weak and we had two lottery picks that year. Those guys are tearing it up. KOC will find a diamond in the ruff.....trust him.

Knowing there are more than 1-2 diamonds in that ruff would be encouraging though.

With Burks out, I've been looking at Hairston.

 

[Jazz Spazz]

Anyone yet mention Brandon Davies? That's what we really need, a 6-9 PF/C that can run the floor.

He's very athletic because he's an African American. He also can play the point like Burks, Murphy, Foye, Kanter and Favors. I hear this is a must for all players Corbin. He likes the flexibility to play people out of position.

Being in the BF league and having my team decimated by injuries and looking like a lottery team might be enough to get me interested in this thread. Sorry.

This. The 2013 draft will be pretty good through the lottery, IMO.

Random update: B.J. Young had 23 points, 5 assists in his debut.

UNC getting hammered right now. They are showing no heart at all.
