    Unfortunately he plays for a program that does a poor job of getting players ready for the NBA.

    "Tanking" is misspelled in the thread title.

    Not a super deep draft, but there are some great prospects at the top.
    If we tank, we need a top 5 pick. Brandon Ingram looks like a legit franchise player.

    This draft is not great... After Simmons,pretty damn meh.

    Skal looks like a poor man's Noel

    Brown is a Stanley Johnson type prospect

    Ingram is Kelly Oubre

    Does not look promising.

    Since we will be in the bottom 3 of the west and bottom 7 of the league, god the east really really sucks, its never to early to start drooling over a top 10 lottery pick.

    Sorry, but this kind of cracks me up.

    With Vonleh, we have a year of college and a year in the NBA to judge him on.....and people are telling me it is too early to reach any conclusions. Yet here we have people making judgements on *high school* kids.

    Most of the kids getting hyped now are the next generation of Looney's and Oubre's.(or Vonleh for that matter) This is the beauty contest phase. Most of the actual prospects won't be identified for another 6 months or so.
