If Andre Drummond can come out than he will be #1
Other than that

Quincy Miller- KD with post moves
Michael Gilchrist- Iggy
Lebryan Nash- monster
Tony Wroten- taller Rondo
Austin Rivers- Steph Curry
Anthony Davis- polished D. Favors

Drummond would not be #1 in the 2012 draft.

Since there seems to be a lot of Andre Drummond talk, I thought it would be appropriate to quote this article: http://coast2coastrecruiting.net/2011/0 ... o-college/

In order to enter the NBA Draft, a player must 19 years old and a year removed from high school. Next year, in 2012, Andre Drummond will be 19 years old and already a year removed from his original high school graduating class. Under current NBA rules, he would be eligible for the draft.


“I would actually say that he may just be going straight to the draft if he can,” a source close to the UConn basketball program told Adam Zagoria. For those of you who do not know, Connecticut is believed to be the frontrunner in the recruitment of Drummond. “If you’re not going to college next year and you’re going back to high school, I would assume it’s because you’re still trying to get to that 2012 draft.” the source said. However, according to Andre’s high school coach, his mother wants him to head to college.

Now this is a year you want to tank If HEE wants to go the nba straight since he is over age but he'll probably do as his mom says.

C'mon son.



Jared Sullinger is Marcus Fizer 2.0. So basically your spot on as to him being a top 5 pick but dont expect a heck of a lot at the next level

On my first mock I put the top 5 as McAdoo, P Jones III, Davis, Beal and Miller. Though I feel like Toronto will take Harrison Barnes wherever he is ranked and they're picking and Washington will take Bradley Beal wherever he is ranked and they're picking.

I'm betting against Davis going 1 at this point because I see him having a Favors+ type freshman season, which is fine, but I see one of McAdoo, Jones III, Miller, Barnes having a monster, dynamic scoring season next year and stealing the #1 lights

Fizer averaged 23 ppg on 58% shooting his last year at ISU. What's your point?

im going to have to go with barnes. with his work ethic, the cp3 skills pg camp, and kevin durant camp hes only gotten better. not to mention the guys wants the ball at the end of every game and has proven hes pretty clutch thus far.
