Better Rebounding Amar'e is going to be the steal of the draft even at #2
Even if it ment setting the team back 2-3 years I would trade for Thomas Robinson in a heartbeat

harrison barnes and anthony davis are the only franchise players in this draft IMO. sometimes i watch barnes play and its as if he's toying around with the opposition, i think dude is most NBA ready (mentally, physically, "talently"). Kid knows how to do everything.
Edit-I'd put MKG in that category as well.

As much as I publicly advertise and support Beal's stock, have him #3 overall on my board right before T. Rob, no GM in their right mind should pass on MKG if available for Bradley. I really think Kidd-Gilchrist can be an extremely good #2 complimentary option similar to Scottie Pippen because of the defensive intensity, overall work rate, and offensive versatility particularly with the mid-range game.
Drummond is way too boom-or-bust for me to take him top-3 or even top-5. Top-10 is far more reasonable. Sure, he looks like Dwight Howard, but will he ever produce like D12? Hypothetically, let's say a NBA team takes Drummond fourth overall over Robinson, would they be satisfied if he has a DeAndre Jordan-type career path? Not necessarily a bust by any stretch of the imagination, but I wouldn't be completely content either.
I don't know if Sam is trolling, but I will support the notion that Barnes may indeed be a better pro prospect than a college player. Part of the problem with Harrison is that the expectations for growth were so high this past year that he was partially setup for failure or perceived mediocrity.

Jared Sullinger? No. The Rockets should be tired of undersized 4 men by now. Patrick Patterson and Scola are just fine.
Austin could be an interesting pick though. He would probably come off the bench if we keep Courtney Lee.

As talented as Carolina was its still the whole bunched up confines of the college game that makes me like Barnes a lot. His downside to me is Luol Deng.
Right now I got
Davis
Robinson
MKG
Beal
Barnes
Drummond
Jones as my top 7
Then prob Lamb just cause the pedigree wont allow him to be a total bust imo

I like Henson most out of UNC guys for pros. (I've done a complete 180 on him since like, December.)

The lottery is this wed right?
I think he can be the Kyrie Irving of this draft, as in way better than everyone thought he'd be his first year.

No chance. He can be solid, though.

I think Melo would be great for the Heat, don't think he will drop that low though, Festus Ezeli would be another good athletic big man for them as well, more realistic to drop to them

Melo would be a great fit for us but like the guy above me said, I don't think he'd fall to us. Most draft boards have him like 22 lowest

I've seen this from a couple people on here and I don't understand it. I like Zeller much more, think he can be a legit starting 5 in the league.

In terms of pro careers for the UNC guys IMO: 1. Barnes 2. Marshall 3. Zeller 4. Henson
Harrison is the only one I'd pick in the top 8. How much better than Brandon Wright can Henson be?

Henson has a consistent jumper from 15-18 ft and has a decent hook. Hes offensively better than Wright probably now even. Can expect him to avg a block/ block and a half, a game.
