Just a hunch, I think Hansbrough makes a push for top 15 by draft time.

I think Mayo and Gordon's stock dropped a bit in the first rounds. Not a significant amount, but a few picks.

Mayo will NOT go ahead of Rose. Alexander probably won't leave, he could go in the lottery but definitely not top 5. I have NO CLUE why you have Arthur so high. He's been projected late lotto middle first all season long and he's not blowing anyone away in the tourney so far. Thompson is too high, he'll go in the 20s. You're missing Tyler Smith.

Mayo, Arthur, and Alexander are staying right where they are on MY board.....and projected late lotto all season by whom????? oh yeah, other amateur talent evaluators on the internet

I don't have Jordan or Smith on their because I feel both are extremely overrated and I am having trouble finding where I want to put them as of now

and I have begun to consider moving down Thompson but not as of now

Not sure if this was posted before or after the UCLA/A&M game but if it was after and you dropped Kevin Love to 20th you dont know what you're talking about, no offense. try top 10.

Amateur talent evaluators? You're posting a mock on realgm for christs sake. There are plenty of websites with access to MUCH more information than you yourself are given access to. Tyler Smith is the total package. Guys with his physical gifts and basketball IQ don't come around very often. He plays team ball. Jordan is highly overrated, I don't disagree, but in no way shape or form does he drop from the first round on potential alone.

You mocks are too impressionable. You moved Thabeet down 9 spots after UConn lost in the tourny. That makes little sence to me, especially considering A.J. Price tore his ACL early in the game.

DeAndre Jordan went from #12 on the 16th to not on the board the next week?...What are you already sick of waiting for this kid to develop?...Quick trigger there bud.

Joe Alexander went from not on the board the 16th to fifth overall on the 22nd?


How can you justify these things?

Thanks for the question

Jordan is off the board because I am not sure where I want him to be, and I hope he goes back to school....huge bust potential IMO

As for Alexander, I have been VERY VERY high on him since Thanksgiving time game vs. ND I believe.....I just hadn't thought he would actually declare until just a few weeks ago, that's a simple explanation

Thabeet is the only guy that I will give you that maybe I am little too impressionable game to game.....and that's because I really think he is a difficult player to place/gauge because so much of it is off potential.....his offensive inabilities versus a 3rd place WCC team in San Diego really concerned me......he is a LONG ways away and needs to go back to school, no reason that a guy as raw as he is does not play all 4 at UCONN

I guess the difference with me is that I don't need websites with info to tell me what I see or don't see

Well thank god you're not a talent evaluator then. I have my favorites in this draft. For instance, I don't want Beasley anywhere near my favorite team, but should I drop him down to the 10th pick? NO.

Not only that, but you geek out when someone disagrees with you. Well guess what, when you post a mock, YOU'RE ASKING FOR CRITICISM.

But hey, I guess you can use the limited game footage of the players you're rating, you know, the ones you've seen one or two times, instead of the people who talk to scouts, watch extensive footage both live and on tape about each player while writing extensive blogs pertaining to them. I guess you know more......

I guess you feel comfortable with making the assumption that I do not actually do all of those things you mentioned.....well you shouldn't because I do.......in such a public forum I do not feel comfortable expressing too much of what it is I do in terms of scouting but let's just say it extends well beyond foolish blogs and into actual NBA use

You might want to have a better idea of the person you insult before doing so
