The Official 2013 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[#1 pick]

Noel is going [URL=http://www.the-coli.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1 [/URL] .

Z and Potapenko have been pushing hard for Len. But the consensus of all the scouts and staff is Noel.

Both might top out on the same level but Noel can be elite defensively and Len can be very good on offense and decent on defense.

Vic and Burke are my #1 and #2 players.

Vic clearly being the one with the best potential

1. Vic
2. Burke
3. Noel
4. Ben M.
5. Len

Vic is the only one I think will be a superstar.
Burke has the ability to be an elite PnR PG but his success and growth depends on personnel. Without the right personnel, he might be at best a 1 or 2 time All Star in his career.
Noel can be an elite defensive player who is decent on offense.
Ben is one I am mixed on like I was with Russell Robinson. Not saying he is going to be a bust, just saying, there is some good and bad with his game. He can still be one of the best players easily in this class if he's used correctly.
Len is going to be a good NBA center like Hibbert, Bogut, M. Gasol, and guys like that are. He is not going to be great tho. He is a decent #1 pick like Bogut was. Not special.

^ warriors not doin anything? jack and landry both opted out-- whats the plan?

Probably play Draymond at the backup 4 since he can rebound and bring back Jack. I trust the front office will find a way to buy a second round pick or sign the best guy that goes undrafted. I know Bob Myers will find a way to get some shyt done within the next 2 weeks though.

I'm a need the best psychiatric unit in the country if the Cavs draft Len over Noel

@tremonthustler1's christmas is tomorrow, I don't even think you want the Wolves to be good, you love the draft too much.

I LOVE the draft.

I HATE my team being in it so high year after year.

I've always compared the lotto to the prison conviction and the draft to the sentencing hearing.

I hope Burke drops to that 8th spot. Burke running the pick and roll with Drummond

It could happen. I am not sold on New Orleans not taking Bennett, Len, or Noel if available.

What are the chances shabazz falls the Atl?

What are the chances shabazz falls the Atl?

There is a chance. An outside chance. It depends on the trades made before the 12th pick.

As a Pistons fan I'm happy with, #8 . No one impresses me projected 1-3 any huge amount compared to #8 . Mocks updated as early as today have Porter going 1 -8 No one knows who's going anywhere brehs

People seem to think it's either MCW or Bennett () for Detroit. Bennett truly dictates the order of the lottery picks. Don't know if MCW can play man to man D but that'd help as he'd play 2 on defense with Knight on the court. I like his length (paws)

I'll take Burke, CJ, MCW, and if any of the obvious players ahead fall.

No Bennett

Don't be surprised if Raps trade Lowry for a lottery pick. Masai desperately trying to get a pick.

Who needs Lowry tho? Toronto traded too much for a player who was never that good tho.

I hope not. Get Kleiza and Bargnani outta Toronto first.

Lowry isn't getting you into the lottery unless you give up next year's first rounder.


And you shouldn't give up next year's first rounder.

Utah could use Lowry.

3:00 AM I'll post up my final mock. No more changes. Round 1 is done. I just need to write up the last 20 picks or so
@King Diesel I tried in vain to see how the Celtics can get Ricky Ledo. I hope that happens though because I think it makes too much sense.
