Jay you've come a long way from HS freshmen biology with Mr. Medved (RIP) at RHHS. Great work. Keep it up!

Moe Harkless is gonna surprise ALOT of people... being able to switch to play his natural position, the 3 ... is gonna show people that he's the real deal.

What is a NBA athlete? Stop trying to put everyone into a preconceived box and let players be what they are. Will Draymond Green be a NBA Superstar? Maybe not but he will work harder than some NBA players that take their talents for granted. I remember Charles Barkley getting dinged when he came out of college being to small to some "experts". I use Sir Barkley as an example and not a comparison to Green. I look forward to Draymond's career and who will be smart enough to draft him.

"Green is very good in the post and does the little things a team needs to win. He is not, however, an NBA athlete." Draymond Green is pretty dang athletic. I dont know why people say this. He's not a guard. He doesnt have great agility, but pure jumping ability and explosiveness isn't bad at all. If he is 'not and NBA athlete', there sure are a lot of guys who shouldnt be in the NBA. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hbd0LbHPBsc

Green does not have the athletic ability the the average NBA player his height has. Green is at best 6'7, he's very undersized for his athletic ability.

whoever drafts draymond is getting a steal. he is the kind of player you want on your team and who teammates love playing with.

kevin jones will not be the best player in this draft but he will be ONE of the best to come from this draft. he outplayed pretty much every big east player on this $@%! plus others including perry jones III from baylor. everyone brings up strength, the guy went into wvu at 205 pounds and left at 265 pounds. he has the work ethic to do whatever a team needs him to

There is only one question about Jones: Is he tough enough and does he have the inner drive to do it under the brightest lights? What??? I only have one question: who was your math teacher and how did you possibly pass any math course?

We all have to stop with this "Once in a Decade" cliche. Not every #1 overall pick can be "Once in a Decade." Davis is a bit over-hyped.

LeBron isn't once in a generation. Many still question whether he is even the best in the league.

It pisses me off that "Mr. College bball" Jay Bilas lists a foreign prospect that he himself "has never seen play" over successful college stars such as doron lamb, john jenkins. Bilas loses so much credibility for that pick imo

Actually I have seen Fournier play and i believe he is overrated but thats not the point. My point is that Bilas is hypocritical in this article, every year during the draft he says he is perplexed as to why nba teams are picking foreign guys when a large majority of the time better college talent is still on the board.

He works with people that have seen them play, unlike you. Also, "college stars" mean absolutely nothing in the NBA draft.

Scott Machado from Iona will be a steal . Probably the best passer in the draft as he led the NCAA in assists and is a strong point guard who can get to the lane and also knock down the 3

I'm a big believer in Davis, Beal and T-Rob so I'd probably have them 1-2-3. Other than that, it's spot on.

Terrence Jones is going to surprise people. The kid can play 1-4 and guard all those positions. I've seen him play since he was a frosh in HS. He will succeed, only if he has the drive and from I can tell his 2 years with coach Cal helped that tremendously.
