Following potential 2014 draftees

You really should. I have a pair of twins I'm friend with. By their voice you can't keep them apart. One has slightly more distinctive cheek bones. And they wear their hair in different directions. One has it falling in his face right towards left, the other one vice versa.
There was this house party, when they decided midway through, to change their clothes and hairdress. They fooled quite a few.
Imagine like:
Aaron: Hey Andrew, I'm really bored. You wanna score some baskets later?
Andrew: No buddy, I'm busy learning and I'm really tired from yesterdays practice. And that chick "insert name" is already on my nuts the whole day. You wanna hang out with her as me?
Aaron: Sure!
Hes got quite a motor..my one question about Zona is theyre outside shooting..Theyre gonna struggle from the outside..
Also im not as high on Gordon as a nba prospect as most people..i think hell be solid and has a great motor and athletic ability but hes offensive game is extrenely raw and he wants to be a 3 yet doesnt have a very good handle or shot..
I see his ceiling as a Marion type which is very good but not as good as the top 3 or 4 guys..

Dante Exum is projected to be as high as a top-three pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, should he choose to become eligible.
Exum is from Australia, and doesn’t even graduate high school until October, which had some speculating that he could enroll in a college program in the states as early as December.
But Exum remains undecided on playing in college for now, and definitely won’t do so in this upcoming season. He says he’s still ’50-50′ on whether to skip the college experience entirely in favor of a shot in the NBA.

From Jeff Goodman of ESPN.com:
Dante Exum, considered one of the top prospects eligible for the 2014 NBA draft, told ESPN that if he opts to play college basketball, he will not enroll in December.
“Schools have been saying I can start in early December and play this season,” Exum told ESPN. “But if college is the option, I’ll stay in Australia, do workouts with the national team and then go to college next August. Playing this season in college is not an option.”
Exum, who turns 19 on July 13, told ESPN that he remains 50-50 on whether to bypass college and go to the NBA.

But one thing I'm not sure why he's not doing it , is joining a mid major program where he can play hero ball and lead the program to a surprising NCAA tourney, where his team can't win due to quality and depth around him. That's win win. He's getting best exposure and practice until the draft and solidifies his draft stock. Just because DX is drooling , doesn't mean NBA scouts see him that far up as well.
It will depend on talking with teams rather than mock drafts, but using the assumption his stock is high, there are a couple of reasons the above doesn't work.
1) He's not good enough, alone, to make a mid-major do much, that wouldn't have done much without him.
2) If he plays college he loses a year of income..
I just don't see it.
