who is no.2?

[MagicFan32]

With Shabazz being the consensus top prospect who do you think emerges as the no.2 prospect in this years draft? Zeller, McAdoo or someone else?

[Cigamodnalro]

Shabazz is concensus #1?

Shabazz is concensus #1?

Yep

For me no.2 is Zeller right now.

[DirtyDez]

Shabazz/Zeller are both elite prospects. The better question is who's number 3...

Right now? one of the Kentucky guys, depending on which team picks 3# if it the standings remain the way they're now, it'll be Sacramento/Cleveland/*OKC in this case, Poythress/Poythress/Noel,... look out for Goodwin, if he proves that can be a PG in NBA, he'll be drafted in the top5.

The pick is top-4/15-30 protected. It would be Toronto's pick, not OKC's, in this scenario.

Zeller
Muhammed
Noel

Shabazz is my favourite but I think Zeller goes #1.

[Cammo101]

Shabazz is concensus #1?

No.

[EddieJonesFan]

He's not consensus no.1

[TheLawSon3]

i dont get the zeller hype so i would draft noel. if steven adams declares then i draft him.


in a stronger draft like the one that 2014 is considered to be zeller wouldnt be touched till 8

Zeller didn't boost his draft prospects tonight for sure. He looked dreadful. I saw Zeller quite a bit last year, and like many people thought he might be the top big in the 2013 draft. He didn't look like the no. 1 pick tonight. And Georgia's big men are not world beaters. He's a real good player, but now I'm starting to wonder about his pro capabilities. Doesn't seem to have made much of an upgrade over last year.

Just received more info...apparently Zeller is still feeling the effects of some sickness...flu or something. It might explain his awful game tonight. I will retract my previous post pending further improvement in his health.

zeller is gonna have a hard time playing in the post at the next level. his t-rex arms are really gonna hinder his ability around the basket and i see him as a liability on defense. i think he can be a solid player, but this talk about him going number 2 does not make any sense to me. the reason blake can get away with having short arms is because he has out of this world athletic ability, which zeller lacks. im not comparing him to blake because they are different players entirely. only the short arms are comparable. zeller will bring other things to the table though intangibles, bbiq, and hustle. however you dont draft a player in the top 3 based on those things alone.

MKG seems to be doing well considering he can't shoot or penetrate in half court sets.

Zeller is the most overrated prospect in the nation. He lacks the physical abilities or the potential. He is being drafted for being good in college as a Freshmen/Sophomore, being white/smart. He plays the kind of crafty thug offense that Tyler Hansbrough used to play. You don't draft a Shane Battier type player with a top 3 pick.
