Congratulations! You Just Got Drafted, Maggot!
NBA Draft is jusssssst around the corner, so...
First Pick
I discussed it already so don't ask again until the end of the season. And remember, Johnnie Wall, I know everything about basketball
Second Tier
Big Ass Sullinger - Good to great pro. Nothings different from last season except this fine young man is a year smarter. I'd take him on my team in a second
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist - A pro's pro. I saw an interview with him at UK's media day and KNEW he was gonna be good. Has the look of an NBA star. I don't care about the fucked up j or the too big muscles. I'd take him in a second
John Henson - Is he 6 10 or 6 7? That measurement will matter pre-draft. If he's 6 10 he can be top 5. Shorter and he may slide. Can play some really, really good defense. A true shot blocker, not a shot swatter. Good team guy and nice kid. I want him
Austin - Just what the fuck is going on with the most hyped guard since, who, Robo-Guard? He has been decent but can't even make a free throw. Is he lost, not that good, overwhelmed, or just waiting for his chance like Brandon Knight? I don't know either. Wait and see how he responds to conference play
Cody Zeller - Could be good. His head is my question. Weird family: All 3 brothers D1 in the same sport? That's not good in my mind. But this kid is a worker and serious about his job. Already an NBA player
Third Tier
Terrance Jones - Talented but troubled. Could be Matrix 4, could be a washout. He's in the right place and I'll say it right here: TJ, you should come back for a third year with Coach Cal
Jeremy Lamb - Ready for the NBA. A killer. NBA game, like Kobe's a bit. Gonna score a lot of points but is he gonna have any fun? I'm rooting hard for this good kid and his family
Harrison Barnes - Same old shit. Just a jump shooter and ball stopper. Hasn't gotten any better. I would not touch him no matter where my team was picking. Andre Blatche II.
Bradley Beal - Has a pretty j. Is he athletic enough? Big enough to guard the other 2s? Playing at the right school, as there's only one ball in the NBA, too. If he can dominate that team he can be the best player in the NBA on whomever and make a shitload
Thomas Robinson - Height, again. Is he 6 8, which is fine, or is he 6 5? Plays the game the right way. I love watching Thomas Robinson play, but does his game translate? He is a 4. Can't handle or pass well enough on the perimater to play 3 at the next level. Probably not a star
Perry Jones III - The hype was right. Very skilled. But no passion, so no chance to make $100m. I might take him at the right price and if he was only asked to play 15 minutes a night, but not a star. He lost money by staying, but that may not be a bad thing for Perry
John Jenkins - Me likee. This kid might never be a starter in the NBA, but man, he is pure basketball player. Looks mighty white from here.
Meyers Leonard - I saw the Illini for the first time a few weeks ago and it took maybe one and a half minutes to notice this center. The other team was fucking with him, a sign of respect. And he was playing his ass off. Centers aren't the primary weapon in basketball anymore, or at least for 20 years. But Meyers Leonard is fun to watch
Third Tier
Tyler Zeller - Nice game but doesn't always play hard. Pass, as guys like this with skill but who aren't committed are a dime a dozen
Plumlee Inc - No idea if they'll blossom after getting picked. They are workers, respectful and good people. But they aren't skilled and make the same mistakes now as when they got to school. I simply don't know
Fifth Tier
Henry Sims - Jumped out at me in the first Hoya game I saw this year. There's a reason those no names have a great record, and I'll bet Sims has a lot to do with it. Does he speak French?
Ryan Boatright - Do you remember Eric Bledsoe, kid?
Guys Who I Haven't Seen And Want To
Terrance Ross
Arnett Moultrie
Tony Wroten
and
Rodney Hood!
