    Jones was considered the #1 in this class last year. He's fallen dramatically because he doesn't seem to have any kind of drive to be great.

    ive watched him a few times...he just seems like he is able to get away with being sloppy on the college level (losing his dribble, offensive fouls)...whether he will be able to get away with it in the nba is up for debate

    I do, too. Both lefties that can put it on the floor. Both a little fragile mentally.

    He blocks shots he has no business blocking and never fouls. He averages like 1.5 fouls a game. He covers the whole court on defense because he just grew into his 6'10" frame and was used to being a 6'2" PG in college. Has a handle, has range, doesn't demand the ball all the time to have an effect on the game and he has the will to win.

    I wasn't huge on Davis before, but the more I watch him the more I think he's going to be great. He already is a great college player and he hasn't even scratched the surface of his potential.

    Out of all those guys the only one I'd be really pissed about us drafting would be Tyler Zeller. You don't know what your talking about Lillard he's not that slow.

    I agree about Sullinger. After watching him go up against a legit 7 footer the other day, he reminds me a lot of Sean May.

    yeah, he does seem to drift at times, but when he plays, he's unlike every other player in the NCAA tournament. I picked Baylor to win it all, just because I decided to go outside of the box. Kentucky/Baylor will be a great Elite 8 game.

    I don't understand this statement at all. Weren't there better prospects than Ewing since Ewing? Shaq comes to mind.

    I didn't necessarily agree with it. I heard that during a telecast during his game, I read in his SI feature and it was supposedly sentiment from a couple NBA scouts. I thought Duncan was a pretty damn good college prospect as well.

    Yeah, I like Davis, hate the hyperbole from scouts. Wouldn't the best college prospect since Ewing, as a C, have at least SOME low post offense?

    No, I'm sure they meant Junior.
