Are u guys really selled on him bein the TOP PICK in the 2013 Draft?

I know he can ball and he has alot of tools to be o good player in the league, but I believe the draft combine may hurt his stock… Thoughts?

will hurt him at all. He’s one of the fastest Cs in college. He has about a 35 inch vertical leap. He was rumored to have been doing 25+ reps on the bench press. He’ll probably measure 6’11 1/2″ with a 6’11” wing span.
As for the top pick, a lot will depend on Noel and Muhammad’s offensive progression, and how far IU makes it in the tourney.

I know he is fast for his position. But he has the so called Raptor arms, is above average athletically, and is not a pretty good defender in my opinion… I just dont see him as the first picks at the end of the year! I see Shabazz or Noel passing him…

i dont think he has a shot @ #1 pick unless indiana wins it all and he is POY and i really dont think either is going to happen, he will be a good player in the nba but i mean IMO someone like jeff withey is just as good and he def wont be #1 pick u know? lol. i dont know i guess anythinggg is possible but i see the #1 pick going to nerelens noel. he just looks the part

I think he has a chance to be #1. He plays on a great team so his stats don’t blow anyone away. But he gets 16-17 pts on 8-9 shots per game. He is very efficient. Plus he gets 1.5 block and 1.5 steals a game. It could come down to team need between him and Shabazz, but i think if i’m picking a big i’m taking Zeller over Noel

Andrew bogut 2.0

He will be an average NBA player. Drafting #1 you want some one dominant for years to come and that’s not Cody zellar

[frogmanParticipant]

If you can guarantee an Andrew Bogut then you will take him with the number one pick in this draft (obviously without the injuries).

Skillwise they a fairly similar although Zeller will never be the rim protector Bogut is. He was actually leading the league in blocks for a while a few years back, Zeller will never do anything like that although he is not a bad defender.
