Isn't he already dubbed as the consensus 3rd pick by nearly all the draft mock site?

I wouldn't mind a prime Antonio McDyess at all. He had a couple beastly seasons

Raps should draft peyton siva and play him behind bayless next year. Ive only seen two games and some highlights but i think this kid can be good. Anybody agree? I think hes a steal if you get him early second round.

I view Drummond as a huge wildcard but heres what I'm feeling right now:

Anthony Davis
Michael Kidd Gilchrist (could switch with T-Rob)
Thomas Robinson
Andre Drummond (Could go anywhere from 2-7)
Brad Beal (him and sully may switch)
Jarred Sullinger
Harrison Barnes
Jeremy Lamb (although I'd personally take Lamb higher)

For a second round pick I wouldn't mind taking Siva. But if Q.Miller is still available I would take him.

I like Q- Miller's game. His numbers don't WOW you but I like how he plays the game. Could turn into a real nice prospect.

Not just Bargs, but also Amir and Ed. I am starting to think it might be a better idea to draft a PF and just trade for a SG/SG rather than draft one.

As speedy as he is, at times he'll stumble and fall str8 on the ground turning it over, he's too physically weak and can't absorb contact well. But I'm still intrigued by his speed and his ability to break down multiple defenders from p&r.

My mistake was thinking Barnes can create for himself/others but I haven't seen that in this tournament.

I want someone who can do that.

he can create off p&r and from one or two steps, but 1on1 iso, we all know he can't do that consistently.

Why is Quincy Miller so low on draft boards? I think hes the best wing prospect out of all these guys. Lamb, Barnes, and MKG

Is it me or does Robinson just have the look and name of the next nba star PF? After A.Davis of course. But i think he has 20/10 potential in the nba. He has the drive and the character too, I wouldnt be suprised to see BC draft a guy like Robinson.
