Bust: I'll do several.
[b](a) Gordon: For the life of me, this was the most perplexing pick in the draft. I admit to seeing very little of him in college. But of what I did see, I saw this: An athletic, short power forward with no basketball skills.

(b) Vonleh: I don't get it.
(c) Harris: There's a reason he took that fall, in my opinion. I see nothing special here. Perhaps I shouldn't say "bust" since he went 19th and I think he'll be a contributing NBA player, which is reasonable value at 19. But I don't even see "good starter" when I look at this guy, let alone a meaningful difference maker.
(d) Napier: Bust. Complete and total bust. Miami will look like fools for drafting him to appease LeBron.
Sleeper: Cleanthony Early. I think he'll prove to be excellent second round value.
seriously with this? the dude is missing some shooting touch but for a guy who is 6'9 (thats a short PF/SF?) he has a very good feel for passing and ball handling. he is also a premier defender and offensive rebounder, with the ability to guard people one on one without fouling them.
he is 19 years old too. if anything he has a pretty high floor in the NBA...and thats if he never learns to shoot free throws.
amazing how much hate he gets on this board. wonder what people thought after noah got drafted.
he also had 2 three's yesterday...just sayin...
