Tonight Michigan plays and they have four very good prospects to watch out for in Trey Burke, Nik Stauskas, Glenn Robinson III, and Tim Hardaway Jr.

Very true^^^^
I also want to add that Shabazz has been playing a lot better as he's gotten the feel of the offense and in better shape.
I still think he will be the best "could be" guy to go with

Trey Burke.....Ball so Hard
Coming off 22 point 11 assist performance, he has 13 quick points in 5 mins.

Michigan is a very fun college team to watch because everyone can shoot and everyone can get to the hoop.
Trey is a very good point and the best right now in my eyes but he does miss wide open guys, when he tries to take over himself.
As of right now he is easily my number one prospect for this team and truthfully I wouldn't mind trading into the second to get his teammate Tim Hardaway Jr.
Also Nik Stauskas is currently my favorite freshmen guard the guy is an elite shooter, best in college then you add his ability to get to the hoop and you get a great player.

Some players that I like for latter picks are Kelly Olynyk, PJ Hairston, and Deshaun Thomas.
I also have some players I would stay away with our first round pick; Cody Zeller, Isiah Austin, and James McAdoo.

Totally agree on Austin. I think that guy has bust written all over him. I may get quoted on this in a few years and regret it, but imho there is a good reason there aren't a great number of flimsy, three-point-shooting centers putting up numbers in this league.

Dont sleep on him as a scoring 2 guard in this draft. I'm still mad he can't play because his game is so smoooooth & he makes scoring look so easy

Interesting, I had no idea that Moe had Boricua in him. Would be nice to see him play for the PR team.

I know it's way too early for mock drafts to mean anything, but I found the latest mocks pretty interesting and was actually pleased for the first time with who they had us selecting.
NBADraft.net
1. WAS - C. Zeller
2. CLE - B. McLemore
3. NO - S. Muhammad
4. CHA - N. Noel
5. DET - A. Bennett
6. PHX - O. Porter
7. SAC - A. Len
8. OKC - W. Cauley-Stein
9. ORL - M. Smart10. DAL - M. Carter-Williams
11. BOS - M. Plumlee
12. LAL - C. McCollum
13. UTA - G. Robinson III
14. MIN - I. Austin
Full Mock:
http://nbadraft.net/2013mock_draftThis mock was the first where Archie Goodwin dropped out of the lottery. It's also the highest McLemore has been ranked. And I can't recall Cauley-Stein being ranked this high ever. And I enjoy seeing Smart available for us.

Yeah his mom is Boricua. The Puerto Rico coaching staff is already in the process of recruiting him, along with JJ Barea.

Man if he was bigger he would be the best PG in this draft.
Stupid genes haha, but I still think somebody gets a very good player in him probably in the 2nd round. He is def capable of leading a second unit & being a spark off the bench.

Smart is 7/10 with 24 points, 2 assists, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals right now against K-State. Starting to separate himself from the other point guards for me.

Thoughts on Anthony Bennett? Reminds me of Millsap.

Really liking Smart's play right now but one thing that gives me some pause with him is his handle; very loose and not all that crisp. He's got a pretty high turnover ratio in college so I'm curious if it'll be even higher at the next level.

Marcus Smart to me is still a 2 guard and would be best suited playing the 2 in the nba, that being said I would still love him on this team. Although Trey Burke is still my number one point guard and is on my top five list for guys I want on this team.

Man, if he were 7 inches taller, he could have been the second coming of Paul Pressey. Wouldn't mind having him as a 2nd rounder.
