I'm a big CDR fan, but there's no way he goes top 10. He's 21, and while he's playing very well, he's not dominating. I see him as an excellent pick at around 20th overall, MAYBE going as high as 15th, but a small chance of not even going in the first round.

Brook Lopez is a better prospect than Jerryd Bayless IMO, but it does help that the league is perpetually starved of big men.
James Harden, though, is an absolute stud. He's what Malik Hairston should have been.

He reminds me a lot of Rip Hamilton. I think he's being very under rated.

Augustine remains very underrated.

I'm the choir you're preaching to. Good pick. I've said before that he's actually a better prospect than Rip was, and I stick to it. And is it just me or is he bigger than Rip was - in spite of everyone saying he's not big and strong enough?
Btw, who's Calathes?

Funny I wrote that Joe Alexander would be a lottery pick in the NBA like 13 games into his freshmen year right here on this forum. I like him to but Robinson[who is not coming out reminds me so much of shawn marion that I have to stick him in there]. If there is a way to search two years back you can find where I said that. I also said Randall Hankee would be a first rounder

so you cant hit them all.

Augustine is big time underrated on this list. He is a true PG with jet quick speed and a good outside shot. Not many PG's on any level can claim all those skills.

As is Collison. I prefer Collison over Augustin, because he's such a smart dependable efficient all-around player.

It just kind of depends on what you are looking for out of your backup PG because that is what both guys are.....atleast on quality teams.....DJ is far more of a pure PG in the half court and that is why I favor him just slightly between the two

Augustine is a starter calliber PG next year depending on the team. He can come in and play right away like Paul or Conley did.

While I agree somewhat, it is only because if he is starting for your team then they must really suck or have no one at PG

And I think it is fairly clear now, looking back, that Conley was taken far too early

I completely disagree. Most PGs stink in their rookie year - Paul being an exception. Conley's progress has been hurt by getting an early season injury and being on a team with a very odd roster mix.

He is not yet the better player, but Arthur is clearly the better prospect. Much higher ceiling and no injury concerns. Arthur will have a monster year next year if he returns to school.
