Real G's move in silence
We'll know a lot more after workouts but I don't think the Cavs would pass on MKG regardless of whether Barnes is there or not.
Do the Hornets have an owner yet?

Henson is a great fit for you guys and off bat will give you boards, blocks and weakside D

robinson doesnt even belong at 2.....he'll be a slightly more fluid brandon bass
He doesn't but I don't think MKG is the 2nd pick until the combine is complete. They seem to be situated at PF/C i really think that they need a shooter like Barnes or to trade down and maybe get 2 lotto picks. Everything will change after the combine. For example Sullinger or Perry Jones or even Drummond can sky rocket or Barnes can fall ala Paul Pierce.
Robinson would be consensus number 2 if he's 6'10 but if he's 6'7-8 he will fall

impossible to answer until we know who is on what team. Also interested to see whether Shved or Teodosic make the leap to the NBA.
Since Lotto's a week away, my prediction for top 3 in terms of order will be
1. New Orleans (via Minnesota)
2. Brooklyn
3. Charlotte

You got NO getting the 1st pick just because of Minny's bad luck huh?

I'm trusting the Nuggets' front office, even with the pick being #20. They've created some magic in recent years with similar picks: Faried at #22 last year and Lawson at #18 in 2009. Let's go, Masai! Keep it going.
tremonthustler1's NBA mock draft + video
Unquestioned #1 pick no matter who it is. I hope whoever picks him doesn't consider him as a center. Physically he won't be up to it for a long time if not ever. He was just a combo guard 2-3 years ago.
One of my favorite players in this draft. Pure SF. Jack of all trades, but I hope he can master one. Otherwise he'll be Jeff Green with a clean bill of health.
The one question with Beal is how much better is he than the rest of the field? He'll probably get B-Roy and James Harden comparisons right up to draft day. He's better than the rest, but depending on what you need, he only edges out some of the others.
Huge disappointment and was scared of contact late in the year. That's Andris Biedrins bad. If he can be developed correctly there's something there, but he'll be out of sight out of mind for at least 2 years before we see any progression.
I'm always trying to figure out whether I'd take him or Derrick Williams if Williams stayed an extra year at Arizona. I'd probably take Robinson because nobody will argue what his true position is, and he'll be really good at PF. His issues are things that can be taught.
Reminds me of Joel Przybilla in a way. He'll be solid and important but unspectacular. He'll be valued because of his motor and he can run with any kind of team.
I wish he made the tourney so more people can see what he can do. From what I've seen, he's Ben Gordon. He can shoot, but shot selection and whether he can facilitate will be big questions for him to answer. Some say he's the best PG in this class. I disagree and if he is, that doesn't speak well of the rest of the PG's here.
3 Years at UNC and still hasn't put on the necessary weight. He probably never will. That limits his potential but the skill is there for him to at least be solid. He needs to ride his shot blocking ability into his own personal niche. Not Serge Ibaka, but he needs to have a focus similar to his.
Sully went from being an Elton Brand clone to a Kevin Love wannabe. I don't know whether he's switching his style to get drafted higher or because that's where his comfort zone is. Either way, his success or failure is predicated on his conditioning. He looks like he can get his shyt together, but I don't know what his motivation is.
He's another guy I just can't for the life of me understand why he's not better than what he is. He disappears way too much in games and I thought an extra year at Kentucky would get him to be more of a leader. It didn't really do that because someone else would constantly have to pick him up. Can't say I think it's gonna click at the next level.
A slower Rubio. Big fan of his passing abilities, but offensively he'll hurt the team if they're playing 4 on 5. At least finish at the hoop or polish a mid-range game, because unlike Rubio, he can't compensate for his offensive deficiencies on defense. If he can't get his game to be more well rounded, it's gonna pin him to a bench. The good news is that he's shown that teams will only go as far as he can take them.
He should be a top 5 pick, but he pissed away so much goodwill with how he played this year. His potential is immense. He drifts so much in games, his last name should be Jones too like Perry and Terrence. I think he'll be good at the pro level, but only if he has a PG alongside him that can lead. He's proven that without it, he's wasted talent.
