I'm a huge Paul George homer but what makes Devin Ebanks, Damion James, Stanley Robinson Elliot Williams or James Anderson better then him?

Ebanks I think has more potential and playing with more national exposure helps him. Not a great reason, but that's why we have him higher.

Damion James has shown greater consistency, and teams have already seen him through workouts last summer. Think he'll perform very well this time around.

Stnaley Robinson might be a little high. He's a great athlete and played at an elite program.

Williams and Anderson, different positions. Think Williams ability to play PG helps him. Anderson we're high on due to his ability to score as a shooting guard and how he plays off the ball. Just like his potential a lot at the next level.

We'll look more and more at George and think he could move up significantly through workouts.

You got the order mixed up. GS has the #4 pick and Washington has the #5.

Order was correct as of the time posted. Next update will probably be after the lottery. Who would you want to see the Warriors take at #4, I'm guessing Cousins or Favors?

^^ Yeah, whichever of Wall/Turner/Cousins/Favors is still on the board.

Heat don't have the 12th pick. Memphis has the 12th and Toronto has the 13th.

Thanks.

Not much. You could probably say Anderson has been a better college player, but that's certainly not the only way to evaluate prospects.

Thanks.

If it was posted on the 16th, it wasn't correct.

Anything regarding the picks, as opposed to the order?

Anderson is probably less risk as well.

I think you have Henry too high. His athletic ability doesn't warrant his selection in the lottery.

James Harden was thought to be an average athlete and he measured out to be one of the best athletes at the combine.

We will see. The big guys are more valuable and will end up getting picked higher than a wing like Henry. I really hope he gets picked in the lottery, since that would push a big to the Bucks at 15, but I don't see it happening.

I would like to see them take Donatas Motiejunas if we end up with the 4th pick. It might go Wall, Turner, Johnson and then Motiejunas. Things will change a bit from now until June.

Really Motiejunas before Cousins/Favors?

I don't see it happening, but if Monroe drops to Indiana I won't complain.

I don't think its out of the realm of possibility. He is probably the most NBA ready of the bigs in my opinion.
