I've been very critical of NBADraft.net the last 2 seasons. They used to have tons of updates, lots of workout updates, and now they have almost no updates with good information, and if they do, they simply c/p what international scouts have emailed them. It's pathetic. NBADraft's people speculate, DraftEXpress's people are at the camps, interacting with players and writing a ton of usefull information. DraftExpress is kicking their ass, NBADraft has turned into a joke.
Agreed 100%, NBADraft.net has always been a joke. DraftExpress hires scouts to go all over the <u>world</u> to scout these players, they have a giant amount of tape to watch (they have some incredible program that Danny Ainge also uses), they talk to team representatives/players/coaches/etc. (they do have some credibility with rumors), etc. I love DraftExpress, and it is bookmarked and one of my tabs. My only problem with it is that they have Durant over Oden on the mock.

NBADraft gets all the attention, but the site has gone to hell.
I tend to ignore nbadraft until right before the draft as they always change their list for no other reason then to generate site hits.
If only they would combine.. then it would be the ultimate draft website. I go to nbadraft.net to check on player profiles, and draftexpress for workout updates.
I took a more in depth look at draft express for the first time in a while last night and I completely agree. The only thing I don't get is I was reading how Oden was doing in Orlando so far, and it says he's been a lot more impressive than expected yet they still have Durant going ahead of Oden.
Draft Express has been better than NBA Draft.net for a couple of years now. NBADRAFT.net has doesn't do their homework when writing articles, and their mock drafts are the most off.
