    Just throwing this out there... I think Will Sheehey, who is projected undrafted next season, could easily climb all the way into the first round by the end of next season.

    I've been watching the World University Games, and he's really been a bright spot for Team USA. He only averaged 9.5 ppg last year for the Hoosiers, but he was sort of playing third fiddle to Oladipo and Zeller, not to mention competing for touches with senior Christian Watford.

    With those three guys gone and Sheehey looking like the offensive focal point of the Hoosiers, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if this was his "breakout" season.

    He's 6'7", a good shooter (surprisingly not from the line though for some reason), and despite him being a white guy that looks like he should be doing your taxes, he's got bounce. He might be one of the best athletes coming into the 2014 draft.

    There's no buzz on Sheehey right now, but I figured I'd just say it now... keep an eye on him rising from "undrafted" to at least the first round.

    EDIT:

    He's been scoring in a lot of ways, including draining threes, but this 6'7" white guy's got some bounce too -

    Imagine the bad old days when most of the top 5-10 in the draft were drafted out of high school. Darkos and Martells galore.

    Imagine the bad, bad old days when Glenn Robinson's agent was asking for $100 mil before he'd ever played an NBA game.

    Since we'll have the first pick next year, this is a very important thread.

    I'm on the Dario Saric/Vasilije Micic bandwagon.

    Who wants to join?

    Really? I think Saric has the skillset tailor-made for Lillard.

    His feel and court-vision, I think he's a guy you really have to look at.

    Though, iirc, if we don't get a lotto pick it won't matter as CHA will get this pick.

    His jumper does as does his ability to finish at the rim.

    But he's an elite passer and above average defender.

    Jabari Parker is blowing up Kansas in the first half while Wiggins sits on the bench in foul trouble.

    Parker

    19 points
    6-10 FG
    3-3 FT
    4-5 3 points
    5 rebounds
    1 assist
    3 steals
    1 block

    Parker looks like a grown man, and Wiggins looks really skinny to me.
