i bet if Jonas Valaniunas came out next year (still born 1992) insteed of this year he would be considered the top center (as his buyout will allow him to play next year)

 Nice list I agee with most of it…only thing is I think Austin Rivers is a shooting guard not a point guard (at least in college anyways)

[4th dimension]

Despite being some what overhype in highschool, Will Barton has now become underrated. I like his skill set, for a 6’6 SG with +7’0 wingspan. I would put him ahead of Doron Lamb.

I say something that’s completely legitimate and I get negatives? What’s the deal? Is Will Barton not one of the top 5 talented SG in the country (atleast arguably)? Your all idiots and assh0les.

If your going to put international players in there I would probably throw Evan Fournier into the SG mix.

Yea this draft is going to be Loaded!!!! But I agree Rivers more of a SG rather than PG…at least for now.

I agree that Barton is underrated. He had his ups and downs last year, but he has great height and skill for a NBA SG. He really just needs to add weight and get a more consistent 3pt shot, and I think he could be a lottery pick next year.

 

I also agree that Josh Smith is a top 5 C prospect, but he needs to lose some weight.

If you want to call people idiots, next time remember the difference between ‘your’ and ‘you’re’.

 EVAN FOURNIER should be in the mix… very smart player with great upside

there is a little bit of batum in this young man.

[Cardinal_FanParticipant]

Agreed next year is shaping up 2 be a very talent filled draft, teams with multiple 1st rounders could be able to snag 2 fututre stars.

 I hope some of you are right about Fab, as a Cuse fan I was quite pumped about him heading into last year, but my God, was he awful, hopefully he can have a much better soph. year.

 And although I dont think it should get in his way for playing this year, hes got some legal issues to deal with here in the Cuse as well.

 I could be wrong, but I believe Fab Melo was said to have nagging achilles injury through most of last season. Expect a better season this year imo.

I am going to be watching Wayne Blackshear at Louisville. A 6’5 SG with loads of ‘P’ who should thrive in Pitino’s up tempo offense.
