Neither. If I had the #1 pick I would select Derrick Favors. John Wall over Hayward though...I may be delusional, but I'm not stupid.

That is quite the large bulls-eye you are putting on your back there dude. Unless you are really into self-deprecating humor, that might not be a wise move.

I'm not really sure what you are talking about. I'm well aware that my love for Gordon Hayward is a little overboard, but if you don't stick to your guns you'll be the guy stuck with a pocket knife in a gun fight...or something like that. I honestly believe Hayward will be one of the 5-8 best players to come out of this draft.

Because his team had one good run?????

He would not have been drafted even in his SENIOR season if his team got knocked out in the 3rd round.

To answer your question, no. And you are clueless.

Nov 27 Update: Some NBA scouts and executives claim Hayward is the most underrated player in college basketball. Hayward is a do-it-all forward playing for the best mid-major school in the country (and was a staple for Team USA's under-19 team this summer), but he still doesn't get a lot of love. That's because Hayward lacks the elite athleticism and NBA body that NBA scouts fall in love with.

But there's little else to quibble with in Hayward's game. He has a very high basketball IQ, shoots the lights out, rebounds at a high clip and can play both the 2 and the 3 in the NBA.

"He's not going to wow you physically," one GM argued. "But you can't find me 10 better basketball players in America. I think at the end of the day, talent will win the day for him. He's not a terrible athlete and uses everything else in his arsenal to make up for his lack of explosiveness. He's just the type of kid every coach wants on their team."
 
Tough one here. If you go big go with Davis. A lot of upside still. For a wing got to go with Babbitt has two inches on Henry and can play the 4 in certain situations and even had a better max vert than Henry did.

Yeh we know Henry is not going to blow anyone away with his athleticism. Babbitt is just as athletic and has a better overall skill set on the offensive end.

The question is whether Babbit's quickness and athleticism will translate to the NBA. Will he be able to take people off the dribble or make moves in the lane? Henry is a pretty natural scorer. His upside is not as high necessarily as Babbit's, but he should be a pretty steady pro.

I guess we'll never know...
 
We know all right...that I am right and you are wrong. P.S. I have no idea what you are trying to say.
