Other than the whole beating people of the dribble thing yeah sure, all the moves.
If Austin Rivers could go straight to the league, would he be the #1 pick this year?

Harrison Barnes over Anthony Davis. You don't watch the NBA. Barnes is an average lottery prospect. I'd bet against him succeeding in the NBA. Sullinger couldn't be a more overrated prospect. Undersized and plays way below the rim.

He can back players down and shoot over the top of the defender or take 1 or 2 dribbles and pull up and shoot over the defender. Down low hes shifty and has a nice up and under. Being 6'8 and lengthy with the ability to shoot over anyone is what works in the NBA. And thats what he excels at more than anything. Beating people off the dribble might not be his strength but he can still do it. Hes young as !+#@ he'll become quicker and improve in that area. I dont care what anyone says Barnes will be a problem in the NBA. Whether hes beating people off the dribble or not, dude can shoot over anyone and his jumper is better than anyone elses in the draft by far.Originally Posted by Osh Kosh Bosh

for that matter
Tony wroten jr> austin rivers
As for things I see from this draft. I feel that for like the last 10 years or so scouts have been searching for the next KG. What I mean by that is they fall in love with these super atheletic 6-11 wirery frame guys who just so happen to have a decent handle. They said it with Anthony Randolph a couple of yrs ago and their doing it with PJIII again. In the Kansas game he straight disappeared. Every time he goes against top talent he disappears, his motor is horrible and mentally he's bout as tough as tissue. High potential to high bust I dont like the pick give me Arnett Moultrie anyday out of Mississippi State anyday. Oh and Quincy Miller is not Kevin Durant, not even close.

It's official, people are sleeping on Jeremy Lamb again. UNC forever, but in this draft Barnes might struggle to go top 5.

Truer words have never been spoken. I think Lamb and Wroten are can't miss at the next level.

Wroten is already on the next level. No way he comes back.

Players like Rivers who are undersized shooting guards with decent handles but little natural passing ability and true PG vision are always destined to be solid individual performers but generally poor team players. Very few championship caliber teams look to guys like Rivers. Players don't develop an eye out of nowhere, especially at his age.
To answer your question, who knows. If the worst team in the league needs a scorer, Rivers is a good choice.
EDIT: Oh, and you'd have to be crazy not to pick Davis. I don't care who you have at your PF/C slot.

You think y'all are National Title contenders next year with him back? I doubt it.
how wouldn't we be? If he comes back, we'll essentially have the same team & possibly be preseason #1 imo. That's assuming UK loses their annual 3-4 players, & UNC players finally bolt.
Not too many teams will be bringing their core group of guys, from a top 10 team, back next year

No can't do it, he can't beat any competent defender off the dribble, and unless you believe that Harrison is a Dirk level shooter, nobody, but Dirk have been able to score at an elite level while relying mostly on midrange jumpers.Originally Posted by Jay02

We don't compete for a NC if Gbinje, Murphy, and Marshall don't develop.
And I can tell some of ya'll don't really watch college basketball. Lamb and Barnes sure fire picks? People NOT having Davis as their #1 pick? Not even mentioning Beal yet salivating over Rivers? A Terrence Ross mention but not Tony Wroten? HUH?
