1) Muhammad

2) Noel

3) Zeller

4) McAdoo

5) Poythress

 

Muhammad has the most star potential in this class and should be a better James Harden. Noel has big bust potential and could be just Marcus Camby or could be a whole lot better. Zeller has a lower ceiling but should be an average starter at worst. Maybe Andrew Bogut with a shot? McAdoo should be a less athletic Derrick Williams. Poythress to me seems like Paul George/MKG.

 Muhammad

Noel (dude is a bit overrated, but he’s athletic as hell and overrated hasn’t stop people like Dion Waiters getting drafted very high)

Zeller

Mitchell

Poythress (an enigman, sometimes i think he could be the best in this class, other times he just dissapears in games)

 Mcadoo and Williams are different. What does "just" Marcus Camby be? Nerlens wouldn’t be a bust if he has a career like Marcus

[MUbballfanParticipant]

With the potential Noel has being another Camby would be being a bust, becuse it means he never developed an offensive game. Noel already has elite defense and athleticism, but he has little offense to speak of and if the offense doesnt develop he will be looked at as a bust at #2 because he could’ve been so much more.

[thatshitkrayParticipant]

Does that mean Marcus Camby is a bust? Marcus was also drafted at #2. If Noel reaches Camby’s level he should not be considered a bust because Camby averaged a career double double, blocked more than enough shots, made it to 4 all defensive teams and has won an defensive player of the year award. 

[MUbballfanParticipant]

Given that he was a #2 pick and has never made an AS team should say he never lived up to his full potential. He is one of the best defensive players of this era but if he ever had developed a deadly offensive game he would be so much more, which could be what happens to Noel if he doesnt develop offense.

[MUbballfanParticipant]

I wouldnt call Camby a "bust" but I wouldnt call him a boom either, he’s a guy who had a solid career but not as solid as it could’ve been.

[GoJOSH HUESTISParticipant]

What are you talking about? Show us where any scout has Noel as a future NBA star? No one has ever said he has NBA star potential so having a Camby (non injury) Career wouldn’t be anywhere near bust

[MUbballfanParticipant]

what are you talking about? every scouting reportI have read (Including this website) has Noel as an extremely raw player with superstar potential?

[MUbballfanParticipant]

and on McAdoo I couldnt really think of a good comparison that was the hardest one and it still is off.

[HaleParticipant]

1. Bazz-Best player

2. Zeller-Talented but also very polished, plus he’s a big

3. Noel-Will be taken on potential

4. McAdoo-Very smooth around the rim, has a nice upside and should have a good year, still risky though

5. Poythress-MKG 2.0 with a 3 pt shot

I think Poythress will have the 2nd or 3rd best career though.

[F_S]

1- shabazz

2- zeller

3- nerlens

4- rudy gobert (wildcard)

5- tony mitchell

6- poythress

[Chilbert arenasParticipant]

Someone should take a screenshot of the mock draft now so we can compare it after the draft is done to see how accurate it is.

[kobyzParticipant]

1) Muhammad – remind me an hybrid player of Latrell Sprewell and Michael Finley.

2) Cody Zeller – could ends up as a player as somthing similar to an in between player of two formar Boston bigs Robert Parrish and Kevin McHale.

3) Rudy Gobert – could develop into a longer Joakim Noah with better offensive feel and skills.

4) Alex Poythress – big, athletic, strong, smart, energetic SF, maybe another James Worthy.

5) Trey Burke – at least Mike Conley type PG, but his ceiling is higher.

[WolfRobParticipant]

Trey Burke…. 5th best prospect? "At least" Mike Conley type…? So at very worst he’s a starting PG on a very dangerous playoff team.. okay. 

[Wahoo757Participant]

 1. Shabazz Muhammad-best player in this weak class despite his faults. Needs to improve jumper and right hand, but is still very talented.

2. Nerlens Noel-Raw, but Calipari will help him develop and make use of his immense physical tools.

3. Rudy Gobert-Freakishly big and long with decent athleticism. Has massive upside, but at worst should be a presence on defense and on the glass.

4. Cody Zeller-Might be best player in college basketball, but his upside is limited by his slender frame and short wingspan.

5. Alex Poythress-Good athlete, good hustle, but needs refinement. Another player that will benefit greatly by playing under Calipari.

[King CaluchaParticipant]

There are plenty of places where he can develop better than with Calipari. Though, playng for Calipari will rise his stock.

[GoJOSH HUESTISParticipant]

Zeller may be limited potentially but it’s not due to wings span or weight(by the way you must not have seen him lately, weight is no issue what so ever). Potential Brook Lopez

[theballerwayParticipant]

how tall is he officially?I seen him listed from 6’8 to 7ft

and is Poythress definately a  a sf? Also what if Muhammed is declared ineligable for the year or a really long time.

Like Noel at 4 maybe 5 spot at worst tho.

[joecheck88Participant]

 I think Pothyress needs to be a 3 in the league but he seems more combo forward to me right now. 

[F_S]

hes a combo right now but he has the best legit SF potential out of all the combos in the lotto, mitchell, mccado, saric, cj leslie.

hes defense on the perimeter is top notch, handles are alright on straight line drives, and his shot is a work in progress that shows potential as well. he’s 6’8.
