Post your 2013 top 8 desired Draftees

Since we are almost a lock for a top 5 odds slot in the upcoming draft lottery, I wanted to see everyone's top 8 selection for the pelicans (can't be worse than 8th by rules of the lottery). Included some random thought on each:
1. Smart-in case Bledsoe/Jennings/Rivers? falls through.
2. Noel-weakened ACL makes me nervous. Block city?
3. Porter Jr.-be nice to solidify our SF spot after recent history.
4. Oladipo-crazy intangibles on top of production/improvement.
5. Ben M.-PASSIVE but freakishly athletic and smooth.
*(Talent Drop Off IMHO)*
6. Zeller (PF)-defends well (P&R) except @ the rim (AD).
7. Shabazz-wish he was taller/could cure offensive droughts.
8. Anthony Bennett-best low post scorer in draft. Injury history.

The only bad word you can tag Mclemore with is his passiveness. To his defense, those damned guards at Kansas shut him out a lot. i noticed during the year snd witnessed in person at the sweet 16! That will change when he gets mil$ to do what he does best. When the rest of his body catches up with his broad shoulders, he will be hell to deal with. i think of him as d-wade+westbrook.
Saric is the most underrated and best triggerman in this draft. Austin's all around game is a good bit better than Noel's and his ball skills facing the rim is better than Noel and AD!

Assuming we trade away the cancer that is Eric Gordon....
1) Ben McLemore, SG, Kansas
2) Marcus Smart, PG, OK St.
3) Glenn Robinson III, SF, Michigan
4) Nerlens Noel, C, Kentucky
5) Otto Porter, SF, Georgetown
6) Trey Burke, PG, Michigan
7) Alex Len, C, Maryland
8) Victor Oladipo, SG, Indiana
Not really a fan of Shabazz, Zeller, or Bennett (too small to be a PF, too slow to be a SF)

1. Mclemore
2. Noel
3. Smart
4. Porter
Just guessing at this point:
5. Burke
6. GRIII
7. Oladipo
8. Shabazz
Don't want Bennett, Zeller, or Len, and really after the top 4 it's a toss up. If we pick 1 or 2 (not gonna happen, but still), I am pretty confident we end up with either Mclemore or Noel so long as we are comfortable in Noel's recovery.
