TRob is moving up the boards and Perry Jones is continuing to drop from the last time I checked in January.

So it's looking like there's a very good chance we'll get one of these guys:
Davis
Drummond
MKG
Barns
Sullinger

And if the T-Wolves fall apart, we should be able to get two of these guys.

I don't know how to do that fancy picture of the draft board like you do TigerinATL lol. But, here is Chad Fords top 14.

Davis
Drummond
Barnes
Robinson
PJ3
Singler
MKG
Beal
Lamb
Cody Zeller
Leonard
Henson
Quincy Miller
Terrance Jones.

Unfortunately, it's continuing to look like that pick will be between the 9-14 range.

It's just an excel spread sheet I do a screen capture of. I'll add Chad Ford's to the list, but who is Singler? I don't follow CBB much and he's not listed on the other 2 draft sites. ETA must be Sullinger

Yeh, that's my fault. That's supposed to be Sullinger.

Anyone have any insight on Cody Zeller ?

Looking at his numbers, he is shooting an incredible percentage from the floor (66%) and a very respectable 79% from the line.

A big man, 6'11 230, with that kind of soft touch is a real interesting prospect.

Big discrepancy of among them on Lamb. I'd love to get him with the 2nd pick.

I don't have any insight but in the 10-20 range looks to be where the centers will go and we'll need at least a backup if not a starter.

There's a fair amount of BJ Mullens in his game, a bit racist but whatevs.

Still, great length is unteachable and he's got some good ability to find cutters and open shooters out the post. His post game is unpolished though. Could turn out like Bynum though. Never can tell.

It always makes me nervous when I see a bunch of guys from the same team in the 1st round. Like with Kentucky, I've seen them play a few times and they just overwhealm teams with talent. I would doubt that all of them are going to be great NBA players. MKG always stands out to me, but he always has wide open shots. Davis is just too raw for me to figure out what he is going to be. I thought Jones would be the guy, but he's kind of taken a step back. UConn is the same way, tons of talent. I think being on this loaded teams is actually a bad thing for these players.

For the most part he's been pretty average in Big 10 play so far.

If the season continues going like this, Quincy Miller will be a lock for the top 8, maybe top 5. I know I'm a Baylor fan, but I wouldn't be shocked to see him pass up Harrison Barnes on the draft boards at this rate. I know how high everyone is on Barnes over here, but Miller has been very impressive and very consistent when his number has been called, unlike his teammate Perry Jones.

also i like kidd-gilcchrist, always making plays on defense, Davis is still raw, huge potential though, kinda struggled against Bama last saturday on offense, looked liek he was gettin pushed around. an extra year of college could benefit him alot probably wont happen though

MKG and Thomas Robinson would be a nice coup. I'd love Davis but he's going number 1 overall.

What about Barnes or Drummond instead of MKG? If we don't get Davis I'd like to think we'll be drafting high enough to get one of those guys.

Before his knee injury Miller was by far the best player in his class IMO. That was before Davis blew up of course, but I love Miller's potential so I agree with you on him possibly being a top 5 pick.

Don't know what to make of Jones at this point though, I wouldn't want to draft him in the top 5 or Barnes in the top 3.

Yeah, I think I'd consider Robinson to be the most sure thing in the draft. He's going to be a very good player and probably average a double double, or something very close to it, every night. Problem is, I think his ceiling is a little limited. BUT, you have guys like Drummond and Barnes who have ridiculous potential, but also have solid bust potential, as well. I think Robinson will average something like 13-17 PPG and 8 RPG in the L.
