I wonder if Wall would be picked before Griffin. I gotta think there would be atleast 5 or more high school players in the top 10 given the nature of the draft. My thinking is Clippers would take Wall due to the strength of their frontcourt and the growing focus on point guards such as Rose, Paul and Williams.

Wall is WAY better than

Wall is WAY better than Telfair. Wall is more athletic, quicker, can jump higher, taller, better defense, the list goes on and on....

John Wall is not overhyped.

My Top 10 Prospects

1.Griffin
2.Wall
3.Rubio
4.Harden
5.Thabeet
6.Favors
7.Jennings
8.Evans
9.Henry
10.Bradley

I like Wall more then Griffin but I can't pick the unproven player over the proven one just yet.

Also considering: Derozan, Cousins, Flynn, Clark

I agree. Lance Stephenson

I agree. Lance Stephenson would be a Knick the day he declared for the Draft.

He would declare for the draft and then put a Knick hat on.

Not that many high schoolers

Not that many high schoolers would be in the top 10 and consider the fact that Wall is eligible since hes a 5th year senior, therefore hes not in the hypothetical draft if he isn't in the actual draft... Most likely it looks like this...

And I also took out players who were locks to be in last year- Brandon Jennings, Demar Derozan, Tyreke Evans...

But Ricky Rubio I left in because he was under contract with Spain anyway

1. L.A. Clippers- Blake Griffin

2. Memphis- Hasheem Thabeet

3. Oklahoma City- James Harden

4. Sacramento- Ricky Rubio

5. Washington- Demarcus Cousins- more physical than Favors

6. Minnesota- Stephen Curry

7. Golden State- Xavier Henry

8. New York Knicks- Johnny Flynn

9. Toronto- James Johnson

10. Milwaukee- Derrick Favors

11. New Jersey Nets- Lance Stephenson (they made a mistake passing on Kobe, they ain't doin it again) not comparing him to kobe but situation-wise

12. Charlotte- Gerald Henderson

13. Indiana- DaJuan Blair

I only considered the fact that a few are locks to be gone if there was no age rule-
Lance Stephenson
Derrick Favors
Demarcus Cousins
Renardo Syndey

Xavier Henry leaves after he finds out his stock is pretty high ala Martell Webster
