Who are your Top 3 NBA Prospects for the 2015 draft?

Said this in the NBA thread, but it probably fits better here. Is there an NBA draft thread yet?

Aside from durability concerns (and it's a pretty big concern at this point), Rubio hasn't progressed his shooting nearly enough for the NBA level for me to say this isn't a possibility. I would love to see Rubio and Wiggins work for the long-term, but considering they're staring a top 3 pick in the face, it's impossible not to consider Mudiay.

This in regards to the Wolves drafting Mudiay. I haven't watched a lick of college basketball this season, but the only other name I hear pop up a lot is Okafor. I did a quick read on his prospect and it makes him out to be a bit one dimensional. Not a great rim protector and not a great rebounder given his size. I guess the Wolves already have Dieng, but Okafor would essentially just replace Pekovic, with potentially more scoring. I don't know...I like the idea of Mudiay, but I haven't seen a lot of these guys. What do you guys think?
 
1) Mudiay

2) Towns

3) Russell

Okafor is going to get his shot blocked a lot and won't be able to get those same shots off.  He's also horrible on Defense.  He's nothing but a taller sullener
 
This draft isn't really impressive to me ...it's clear that Okafor n Mudiay are the top 2 ...after that it could be anybody , but I'll put Myles Turner or Stan Johnson at 3 right now

:rofl:
If boogie is doing great, i think okafor will be fine
 
1. Okafor (high floor, lower ceiling than most #1 picks)
2. Towns (he's a better fit on most of the bad teams than Okafor)
3. Russell (he can do everything pretty damn well)

I'll say I haven't seen much of Mudiay in the CBA, but he was impressive in last year's Hoop Summit.

1. Okafor

2. WCS

3. Mudiay
 
I really can't see myself taking Okafor over Towns. Not as high on him as an NBA stud as others. Think Towns ceiling is higher and that would lead me to pick him.
 
I don't think any of these dudes are anything special besides Okafor maybe. I like Towns, Stanley Johnson, Mudiay, WCS and Russell but I don't see any real franchise changers in this draft.

Same here
 
1. Russell
2. Okafor
3. Mudiay


All three have all star potential IMO.

As a Celtics fan I think Russell would fit perfect with Marcus Smart, Russell plays the 1 on offense and guards the 2 on defense while Smart plays the 2 on offense and guards the 1 on Denfense. They would mask each others inefficiencies perfectly.

We overrate the draft almost every year now.

I don't see any franchise cornerstone. But I guess the NBA has become less dependent on having a singular talent.

I think Okafor, Towns and Russell can and will be All Stars though.

And I'd be tempted to take Russell #1 right now.
 
Okafor
Stanley
Russell

Haven't watched too much of Mudiay but I hear nothing but good things
