    So…according to ESPN’s Lottery Generator, a majority of the time, Perry Jones is the #1 pick. I realize that the guy is a physical freak of nature (nobody that size should be able to do what he does), but how will he pan out in the NBA? Whenever I’ve seen him play, he always seems disinterested/willing to rely strictly on his physical gifts; I don’t think that will cut it at the professional level. Would concerns about his effort be enough to prevent him from being a top pick?

    He’ll go as the #1 pick, I just think it would be hard for a GM to pass up on a true talent like that…the guy is only 6’11 and pocesses a skill set that belongs in the NBA. like I said before if anything its his lack of fire, I feel like once he starts to understand what he has and how he can be a killer at will, people will start to see why he’ll be the next best thing…IMO

    This guy has Tim Thomas written all over him. It doesn’t really make any team excited to have the #1 pick this year because there is no legit #1 prospect in this class. Perry Jones has basically become the #1 prospect by default.

     He has Barnes in the top 5,  DWill in the late lottery, no trey thompkins, john henson and mason plumlee in the lottery half the time. his stocks are terrible

    Product of a weak draft class.

    Anybody that takes Henson or Mason in the lottery needs to have a seat right next to Larry Brown

    Irving: 50-50. I’m not sure when he’ll come back from injury. He may want to stay, or he may be projected too high to resist.

    Barnes: I bet he stays. Roy Williams said when he got into school that he likely wouldn’t be a one and done guy, and this season he really hasn’t lived up to expectations. To be fair, those expectations were ridiculous (Kobe-like? Really?), but I think he stays at least one more year to help develop his game.

    Henson: I think he goes. He’s getting a lot of hype this year, and he’s played pretty well now that Ed Davis is gone.

    Plumlee: Stays. He’s athletic, but his post game isn’t exactly the strongest, and he needs to develop a game outside of running the fast break.

    Harris: I think he stays. He’s very good, but I’ve seen him force plays sometimes, and bet he wants to prove he can win at Tennessee before he goes anywhere.

    Williams: Can’t say I’ve ever seen him play, so I can’t really make that call. Just looking at his stats though, he’s improved a ton over the last year.

    Thomson: I think he goes. He’s very streaky, but I think he can be a Jamal Crawford- type (not necessarily as good, just for comparison’s sake) of player.

    Wayns: I think he stays. I bet he’ll want to prove he can be the leader of his team (right now, that would be the Corey’s (Stokes and Fisher)) before going pro.

    Murray: Stays. He’s on a losing team right now, I’ll bet pro scouts want to see he can win before he goes.

    Taylor: 50-50. I bet he’ll place his name in the pool and see how he fares at workouts.

    Leslie: Stays. He’s not the real leader of his team (that’d be Thompkins right now), and he’s undersized for a SG. That said, he can rebound well.

    Buford: Stays. If Sullinger stays like he supposedly says he might, he may want to try and win a title with this team the way it’s put together.
