Is it not hilarious?

People jump at the first non European C prospect and assume he's got 20-10 potential.

He was dominating dudes in high school... But im just wondering why people still think he's gonna go top 2 even tho he's been **** the bed all year

Care to place a bet on that? As soon as teams work him out individually, I think he'll go top 2 (top 3 for sure)

Tony Wroten is amazing! Kinda in the mold of Ricki Rubio and Tyreke Evans.

Does Givony still lurk here? His mock was updated the other day but it looks like something that was thrown out there in August.

I concur. He dose everything well. Also seems like the heart of that Kentucky team at times. But yah MKG is my SF atm.

Since the game at Kentucky, UNC's schedule has been downright embarassing -- who wants to watch them RUN UP THE SCORE against loser teams like Nicholls St, Elon, and Monmouth, while Hubert Davis masturbates from the sideline.

I agree. Stopped watching after the first 6 mins. Decided to watch the Orlando/Nets game.

Everytime I question my pick I go back and watch this:

I don't care if it's highschool, in this alone he's shown me more then guys like Bynum etc have in their entire careers.....he just needs to settle down and play his game. That next to Valanciunas would just be ridiculous.

Quincy Miller & Tony Wroten or bust

Very impressive and I can't help but wonder why he looks so ineffective for UConn. He needs to pick it up in March when it all matters, otherwise I wouldn't touch him.

Probably the same reason Lamb, Gay, Okafor and Kemba looked the same in their first years *ahem* Calhoun lol jk....but it's just really odd to say the least how they all suddenly "improved" drastically after their freshman years?!?!

Impressive indeed. He should look good in workouts. NBA center body with that skillset.

I bet he goes no lower than 2nd regardless of how crappy he plays the rest of the way out.

Drummond's never faced tough competition, and when he does. He's confused, he's scared. And he never faced defenders at his level, and when he does, he's shutdown. He needs at least another year to polish his game. But I don't think anyone can pass up the opportunity of going top 3 in the draft, anyone except Barnes.

Not sure what you mean by that but Barnes has done nothing to deserve being a top 3 pick this year or last year.....I hope he makes me eat crow when he hits the NBA but in college he's been an utter disappointment and completely overrated by his fans.

Are you kidding me? Last year he would have gone 2nd or 3rd after Irving. I can say the same thing about Qmiller being overrated by his fans in this draft thread too.

Who do you want the Raptors to draft in the 2012 NBA Draft?
