1. Noel, potential to be a top center
2. Mclemore, beautiful jump shot
3. Bennett, people have said if he was 1 inch taller he'd be #1, but his length makes up for it and I think he's going to have the quickness to guard sfs on the perimeter
4.Oladipo, I really like this kid but considering he's a junior, I can't put any higher
5. Len
6. Burke
7. Porter
8. Carter Williams
9. Saric
10. Muhammad

Would be my priorities if I were the gm

dude weights 15-20 lbs less than ALL sf's in the nba. it gets worst with pf's and c's . when he gets bigger, he has a chance to become a shot blocking guru. cant argue the #1 spot though.

? Kid looks like one of those aliens from the mkvie avatar. Dat mobility and athleticism is ridic.

I blame the school noel was playing at for his acl injury. That pad was wayyy too close to the backboard.

Im gonna be so happy when we draft bennett and let monty teach him defense.

Watch this vid to get hyped about it.

This kid has a faceup game not a post game, completely different from ad and smith. He can put the ball on the floor and im willing to say he can guard the 3 at least as well as porter, some aspects better than others.

He's a sf/pf, mostly sf in the nba imo. While AD and smith play down low, he plays near the perimeter and does a lot of cutting. Just didn't give much effort on D yet.

Pelicans will not draft Bennett. Burke, McLemore, Len or Saric. If not one of the aforementioned the pick will be traded or sold.

If he's sturdy enough, he'll be a damned good player.

Fans love highlights and from a highlight perspective oladipo wins.

He's a lot of fun to watch. I said (perhaps very) poor man's jordan over a month ago and I'm not changing my stance.

I just think, if we draft a sg we'll be put in a position to rush a gordon trade and I don't want to get something too bad for him. I think the cartilage in his knee is probably a little scratched up which hurts and can be degenerative but it hasn't seemed to be a threat.

i agree. i've seen his vids plus live action. he just may be the next story of "they passed on him"! i just like len. next years class is also loaded with sg's.

Nah, y'all are helping me. I've been pushing Len since everyone else were creaming their pants for Noel.

Poor man's Jordan? By poor, do you mean homeless?

Wait, you mean they WILL draft one of those guys, right?

I'm a Porter fan too but I'm kinda surprised you have him at #1. Care to elaborate? Is it more because it's a weak draft and you're not impressed with the other "top talent" or do you just like him that much?
