Following potential 2013 draftees

[The Midnight]

I know it never pans out to be the truth anyways, but would someone make a quick NBA comparison to each of these guys for me? Loosely based obvi.

This is about the time of year I start paying attention to darft prospects.

Are you sure this won't cause a PE bro?

My loosely based comparisons:

Noel - Joakim Noah
Porter - Paul Pierce
Muhammed - James Harden
Austin - Channing Frye
Smart - Tyreke Evans
McLemore - Ray Allen
Zeller - Christian Laettner
Bennett - Larry Johnson
Len - Zydrunas Ilgauskas
Burke - Jameer Nelson
Oladipo - Tony Allen
MCW - Shaun Livingston
Gobert - Kevin Seraphin
McCollum - Eric Maynor

Going to do a bit more research before making my Big Board.

Cyrone's Big Board

1a. Noel
1b. Porter
3. Muhammed
4. Austin
5. Smart
6. McLemore
7. Zeller
8. Bennet
9. Len
10. Burke
11. Oladipo
12. MCW
13. Gobert
14. McCollum


Bam, lottery big board.

Pretty good list. But why Oladipo behind Burke?

OP mother****ers. Otto ****ing Porter.

You're acting like a 2 year old.

This exchange made me laugh

The three best players in this draft are Shabazz, Noel and Porter in no specific order, but I was wondering about a scenario earlier. Since the Jazz need a small foward, let's say Shabazz or Porter was the consensus #1 pick around the league and the Jazz were sure that they were going to be a sure-fire all-star. Whoever has the #1 pick calls the Jazz and offers it for Derrick Favors would you do it? Why or why not?

I wouldn't in this draft class but next year I would consider it. I would trade Favors for Wiggins, Harrison (Andrew) unless Favor blows up next year. I am hoping that the Jazz let both Millsap and AJ walk. Then draft a guy like WCS from Kentucky. I love the kid and think he can be a Derrick Favors type player in a couple years.

What's WCS's draft status? Is he in? If so, I'd do what OKC did a couple years back with Jackson: call him up and guarantee him you'll take him with one of your first-round picks. Then, send him to Santa Barbara.

Please!

The more I research, the more pessimistic I am about this draft.

Back away from the ledge spycam.


All drafts are relatively the same. There will be a few studs, some nice role players, and then some trash. And then every so often is a once in a generation player. That guy might not be in this one, but there will be some nice players. It just gets trickier where we are drafting. There will be 3 or 4 players available where we are drafting that will be good. KOC just has to nail it. But we'll get a shot for sure.

My loosely based comparisons:
McCollum - Eric Maynor

How??? Maynor can't shoot. McCollum is known as a great shooter/scorer

Eric Maynor's career stats at VCU: 15 PPG, 45% from the field, and 37% from the three. C.J. McCollum's career stats at Lehigh: 21.3 PPG, 44% from the field, and 37.6% from the three.
