Following potential 2013 draftees

I don't think Plumlee is so exceptional that we need to take him at #14. We can get a post defender later in the draft or in free agency.
 
I was looking at Chandler Parsons's draft write-ups/college statistics trying to figure out what everyone missed. I really don't know if it's possible to predict such over-playing of draft position. He was a 4th-year player with not much obvious improvement over his career at Florida. He was recognized as skilled and well-rounded, but he shot 55% FT as a senior and his scoring took a dip that year as well. Yet he's blown up not only as a well-rounded player, but also a quality shooter in the NBA.

Anybody intriguing that might end up doing something similar from this year's draft? I have an eye on Andre Roberson (with rebounding and defense as clear NBA-caliber skills) as someone who might benefit from less team-leadership responsibilities and be able to make a big jump in the NBA. But I really have no clue. What are your predictions?

Matthew Dellavedove is the guy I'm lookin at. Also, Richard Howell, Trevor Mbakwe, Isaiah Canaan, Kenny Kadji, Tim Hardaway Jr., Arsalan Kazemi.

Obviously no one expected Parsons to play this well. But on the eye test his shooting stroke was always pure. The real key is he has learned to play NBA level perimeter D.

On Roberson, if he was a 6'9" or 6'10" jumping jack he would have an obvious role in the NBA. But he is 6'7" PF athlete. Not big enough for the 4 and lacks the skills to play on the perimeter.
