    Pelton's top-30 WARP projections:

    Once was a sleeper, Clint is now getting looks in the late lotto.

    2nd overall, Marcus Smart came in at #1.

    2. Clint Capela, PF, Switzerland
    Win%: .497 | Age: 19.9 | WARP projection: 3.4

    As I noted in last week's analysis of the top international prospects in the draft, which highlighted the overall strength of the group, Capela performed well both in the French Pro A league and in his team's brief stint in the EuroCup against more challenging competition. He is an excellent shot-blocker for a power forward and is arguably the best finisher in this year's draft, as reflected by his projected 54.4 percent 2-point accuracy.

    got a link for that?

    pelton is usually good at forecasting role players but his hit/miss at the top of the draft is very ordinary

    The mystery man in this draft this year is Bruno Caboclo of Brazil.

    Apparently has received a promise.

    Not much on him other than:

    *6'9" | 200 lbs | 7'6" wingspan

    *One year of organized basketball

    *Scoring instinct

    Would I lie to you? Now lets see if anyone takes a chance, who & how far down in the draft will he fall? I'm guessing not below 5.

    Breaking: Dario Saric has agreed in principle to a three year deal with Anadolu Efes a source close to Saric told ESPN.com.

    Chad Ford @chadfordinsider
    The deal will essentially prohibit Saric from playing in the NBA for a minimum of two years the source told ESPN.

    Jerry Zgoda called this a few days ago.

    I've been on the Saric bandwagon since last summer but now I wouldn't touch him with a 10-foot pole.

    This has Fran Vasquez written all over it.

    Was talking about the pelton article. Embid still goes top 5 IMO, probably #3 to philly

    Told Cavs indeed having talks w Jazz but deal being mentioned a little off. Favors, Burks, #5 and #23 in play for #1 and potentially Jack

    Report: Derrick Favors, Alec Burks, No. 5 and No. 23 to the Cavs in exchange for No. 1 and Jarrett Jack to the Jazz?

    I'm expecting Danny Ainge to unload both picks (6 & 17) for a star player.

    Passing on Giannis for CJ is looking like the wrong move.

    According to Alex Kennedy, he's now a legit 6'11" 217 lbs.

    No risk, no reward?

    @ESPNAndyKatz: With Elfrid Payton. He is predicting Sacramento or Lakers. Worked out for Lakers twice.

    Ugh.
