LSU players ranked #8,9,10 and 14 NBA Draft prospects in SEC

There is a pretty detailed scouting report on each player in their respective scouting report. Lots of questions obviously about how these guys will look in a totally new system, especially about Marcus Thornton, who could be absolutely lethal if he's fully tuned in and playing unselfish basketball. Will be really interesting to see how Tasmin Mitchell is used. It's very likely that Trent Johnson is going to love his versatility and basketball IQ.

We have no NBA prospects.
The only one I can see doing anything in the NBA is Temple. and that's only if he can get on the right team that just needs a lock down defender, and if he gains about 25 pounds.

Marcus Thornton was the 2nd leading scorer in the SEC in his first season of division one basketball. It's not a stretch to see him having an even better season and end up getting drafted, especially if he buys into Trent Johnson's philosophy of not taking bad shots and playing strong defense.
Considering that Tasmin Mitchell was a top-10 recruit out of high school, the odds are very good that he will end up playing in the NBA too. It's extremely rare for a player with that kind of pedigree not to at least be given a shot. He still has two more years of eligibility and will probably be given the role of Coach Johnson's Swiss Army knife, which really suits him.
No LSU won't be competing for the Final Four most likely, but making the NCAA tournament and building a foundation to start reeling into the top prospects in the area is a very realistic goal.

the sec west is going to suck balls this year. we have a chance to make the tourney and have a solid season. we also have a real coach now.

6-6 guys who play like power forwards don't often make it in the NBA

Well there are a lot of 6-6 or 6-7 guys in the NBA who had to make the transition to playing on the perimeter full time. People don't get as caught up in the positional stuff as they once did.
Does that mean that Tas is a lock for the NBA? No, of course not. But he's definitely a big time talent who will get some very long looks.

unless you're a 7-footer like Desagna Diop, or an incredibly dynamic point guard like Brevin Knight, you have very little of making the NBA if you just can't score to save your life (like Temple)

i think CJ and MT will both be 2nd round picks. i really thought marcus would have declared last year for the sole purpose of going to down to orlando and getting his name out there but he didnt. garrett could make it to the league if he gets on a summer league team and does well.

i think this nba draft as a whole has suck written all over it, especially following up last years
