    What about Leonard? Does he not count?

    NO, simply because you were SO wrong about Morrison!

    It'd be great to see how HCP handles a Leonard/Zeller frontcourt.

    I'm losing interest in Zeller for quite a few reasons. My favorite as of now is turning out to be Archie Goodwin, who is doing some serious climbing up the ranks. Long, athletic, slashing SG with a tight handle, and an nba ready body. Born in 1994 smh. But still, the kid has looked really good for UK so far. Keep an eye on him.

    This draft is shaping up to be very big-man heavy at the top, and honestly, I don't see too much separating the top prospects. For everything that makes Zeller a great prospect, I see things in Alex Len that would make me think twice about taking Zeller at #1/2. For all of the defensive instincts Noel has and the potential he's shown, his own teammate Alex Poythress has looked like a better prospect on multiple occasions.

    Not to mention, has anyone else noticed the strides Mason Plumlee has made in his offensive game this year? He's playing with a whole new level of confidence and aggressiveness. If he keeps this level of play up, you'll likely be hearing his name being mentioned as a top five pick come June, whereas his counterpart down the road, James McAdoo, seems to be losing fans early on but will probably still factor heavily into the lottery picture.

    There are also four big men that I still haven't gotten a chance to see that are on most people's board in lotto range: Isaiah Austin (Baylor), Tony Mitchell (North Texas), Steven Adams (Pittsburgh), and Rudy Gobert (France).

    This looks like a great year to get a good steal of a big man in the late lotto-to-mid first area.

    I've seen some College games lately.
    Michigan against NC State I was very impressed with Trey Burke. Even started a thread about him (didn't remember this one, sorry...)
    Another game I watched was Florida torching Marquette. Was impressed with Patric Young, a big man with great talent, motor and body.
    Nbadraft.net have Burke at 35 and Young at 34 so they're not unattainable. Was very impressed with both.

    I still like Cody Zeller. Guys footwork is simply amazing. He should be a great nba post player but I dont think he will be anything better then average as a defender and if im choosing a player with a top three pick I usually want them to be able to have all defense type capabilities.

    Prospects start separating themselves from the crowd in Feb/March. I'm going to let it breathe a little bit. There is a lot of talent in this class. I remember being impressed with that Len dude last year. Zellers still my guy. Shabazz doesn't do it for me as a #1 guy

    By #1 guy, do you mean #1 pick, or #1 option in NBA?

    Both. The best footwork coming out of college in years, a high motor, great bball iq and a smooth stroke. Nor much to not like.

    I'm not sure I can see Zeller being the #1 option on a good team.
