Royce

[8manpick]

He got injured in the Mizzou game, and you can't play him and T-Rob at the same time when a team plays small like Purdue and Mizzou did.  Amazing how you clowns talked sh*t on Withey all season long until he started to improve, and now you're expecting him to play at the level of 1st round draft pick.

Does this hurt T-Rob's NBA prospects? Not for the draft, but potentially for long-term success. At 6'8" I would venture that he is a little bit small for a 4 in the NBA, and probably projects as a bigger wing or tweener forward.  If he has trouble guarding whoever Purdue and Mizzou stuck as a small 4, that can't bode well for his ability to guard an NBA wing player, right?

T-Rob will be a poor man's Trevor Booker his rookie year, IMO.  Just for comparo's sake.  I think he'll still be a top 15 pick btw...

A poor man's Trevor Booker?  What the hell are you smoking?  He's projected to go top 3 by both draftexpress and NBADraft.net.  Idiot.

I assumed that was a troll attempt... maybe not?

Just looked at a 2012 mock draft for the first time. My goodness what a terrible draft class. College basketball is a joke this year.

You're kidding right?  This is one of the deepest draft classes in years.  Jared Sullinger and Terrence Jones would have been top 5 picks last year.

I'm not kidding. This class sucks.

[OregonSmock]

This class is loaded, especially when it comes to big men.  My guess is you don't watch college basketball outside of K-State games.

How many freshman lottery picks?

[OregonSmock]

Two freshmen are projected in the top 3.

[Cire]

What about the rest of the lottery?

I watch a lot of college basketball and even more NBA basketball. This class has no star power. It's boring. I guess its a decent class of big men.

Austin Rivers, Andre Drummond, Bradley Beal - all projected lottery


I guess I don't really get your point.  Is a draft only considered deep if it has a lot of freshmen?

You are so full of sh*t, dude.  Perry Jones was projected in the top 3 of last year's draft, and he's down to 17 in this year's mock draft.  Same with Terrence Jones and Jared Sullinger.  There's tons of star power.  You just choose to ignore it.

Perry wasn't gonna be top 3 last year, and he's only fallen a couple spots max this year.  33 is right, no star power at all in this class, no need to be butthurt about it.

Yeah, a bunch of freshmen went back to school and had disappointing sophomore seasons. This draft is full of disappointing, uninspiring tweeners.

Oh man, I just realized that you don't know anything about the NBA draft. At first I thought you did know something about it.

Do yourself a favor and watch a game outside of small-time K-State athletics.

Sullinger and T-Jones both hurt their draft stocks by coming back, not sure how that can be debated.. Both had disappointing sophomore seasons, the book was out on Sullinger this season in the big 10, play physical with him in the post and try to knock him off the block and he'll struggle..  He did, but some teams (like Michigan for example) didn't have the bigs to body him..

Anyway, the point is they weren't knocked down draft boards because this draft is so much sicker bro ! They were knocked down because NBA people realized they weren't as good as they thought they were once they got more exposure..

Yeah, Anthony Davis, Thomas Robinson, Harrison Barnes, etc. have nothing to do with Jones and Sullinger moving down the draft board.  LOL.

If Bosz56 had only taken up OK_Cat on his $10 offer for the archives, now would be a fantastic time to bump the Oden vs. Durant thread

He was projected in the top 3-5 last year, this year he's projected anywhere from 10-13 that's a little more than Anthony Davis or Harrison Barnes (who was projected ahead of him last year as well) TJ was considered top 5-10 last year and is now looking at possibly being a late first rounder.. Do the math, dude..

The fact you are referencing the sites you just did should clarify who the idiot is.  LOL.  Those are a joke for people not ITK.  You poor thing you.  BTW Trevor Booker is fantastic and if you watched him play, would be proud to have T-Rob do anything similar to him his rookie year.  TIA.

BMW only follows former KU players in the NBA. He doesn't watch games or follow actual teams.

You guys are a bunch of f*cking idiots.  If I said the earth revolved around the sun, you'd disagree with me.

The 2012 edition of the NBA draft is expected to be a very deep, talented field as opposed to 2011's rather weak draft class.  But who will hear their name called first by David Stern in June?  Rather than fill cyberspace up with yet another mock draft, The Hoops Manifesto has determined the consensus top 60 prospects for the 2012 NBA Draft.  We took the player rankings from four of the web's best: DraftExpress, NBADraft.net, CollegeHoops.Net, and Chad Ford of ESPN, crunched the numbers and came up with our list.

http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2012/3/12/2860930/nba-mock-draft-2012-march-madness

Our first 2012 NBA Mock Draft features a lottery crew so deep even Anthony Davis can't touch his fingers to the bottom.

Mar 12, 2012 - It's March, college basketball has gone mad and it's time for NBA fans to pick out their favorite prospects to track through the next three weeks. Luckily, this has the potential to be a monstrous draft with quality deep into the first round ... provided that most of the best players exit from the college ranks.

Last year, a number of lottery prospects -- namely Harrison Barnes, John Henson, Jared Sullinger and Terrence Jones -- elected to stay in school. That left NBA teams looking at a fairly weak lottery, and that's mostly been reflected in the 2011-12 season as there are as many top-10 rookies from beyond the lottery as there are from the top 10.

Put on your clownsuits, ret*rds.

I know. I can't believe I forgot how insane he was.

I thought Yahoo had a glitch when I read the box score after Beaz's first game at K-State.  32 points, 24 boards.

There is a reason all you hear about with this class is depth.  There are a lot of decent players. Just no stars. Boring.

[MichiganisGood]

I agree that it's a stronger class than 2011, as that was one of the weakest in recent memory..

Still would not consider it a 'strong' draft class either though..

Also, strongly disagree that Sullinger and Jones didn't expose themselves and hurt their draft stock by coming back, not even sure how this could be debated.. Harrison Barnes and Henson both waited and their draft stocks have remained largely the same, so it's not the necessarily the strength of the draft class pushing everyone back as you suggested..

In summation, it's stronger than 11 but not strong enough that the lottery picks of 2011 would be pushed back 5-10 picks in 2012 without having disappointing seasons..

Anthony Davis, but yeah, other than that no super stars..
