This is a weak draft of Nerlins is top 5 draft pick.

Nerlens is so raw BUT HE'S 18 YEARS OLD. You can't teach that length and athleticism. His defense and rebounding have improved an incredible amount this year and in a few years (you know, when he's at the ripe old age of 22-23) his offense will come along too.

Judging a 18 year old's offensive game (who went to college a year earlier, he reclassified if you didn't know) is just dumb. He'll get drafted highly just because of what he could be with NBA coaches coaching him. Hate it or love, it's what's going to happen and with how hard he's worked, he deserves it.
