Good college players to avoid come draft time.

List your guys who are solid college players but shouldn't be drafted by an NBA team.

My start goes to Trent Plaisted.

He's good at the college level playing against week big men in the MWC. He has good athleticism for a guy his size but his post moves are very predictable and would be easily dealt with in the NBA.

Let him go through the draft, invite him to summer camp but don't waste a draft pick on this guy.

Who are your players to be weary of?

Chris Lofton, a great shooter yes but does not create well for himself and will play the point at the next level and I fear that.

Tyler Hansbrough.

I don't see anyone who would draft Lofton right now, he's the best shooter in college right now but that is his only skill.

Tyler Hansbrough, Chris Lofton, and Stephen Curry.

The PG from Michigan State.

Weird, I think Hansbrough will be a solid role player. I just think it's a waste if he's taken high in the draft.

Jared Bayless. Who ever takes him will be sorely disapointed.

Eric Gordon...his conference sucks, and inflates his stats.

I feel DeAndre Jordan is slightly overrated...but he definitely will go in the top 15

I was thinking the same thing. I would only take him at the end of the 1st round or in the 2nd round. Any GM who uses a lottery pick for him will be sorry.

Ditto on Gordon, though that dunk on Arkansas was nasty... Too bad he didn't do anything else.

Gordon and CDR

I am always kind of surprised that nobody wants to pick up Tyler Hansbrough and that he gets such terrible draft predictions.

He has T-Rex arms yes, and he won't be anywhere near as dominant in the NBA as he is in college, but he's very crafty, has great hustle and an endless motor.

I see him kind of like Paul Millsap when he comes into the league, he is smaller, and isn't the most athletic player, but he plays with great energy, is crafty around the rim and is willing to out work you.

I see Sean May, a guy without a jumper who relies on strength to score. He wont outmuscle NBA bigs.

Sean May's been an effective player when able to get on the floor, though. His main problem has been staying healthy. That was a knock on him even in college, and one that Hansbrough doesn't have on him.

Roy Hibbert is a player I would stay away from. He doesn't have much of a post game. He lacks quickness, speed running the floor, and explosiveness. There aren't a lot of true centers anymore, and Hibbert would be unable to matchup against the quicker bigs. At least he, as the biggest player on the floor, could be dominating the glass, but he averaged under 7 rebounds.

I would pass on Hibbert.
