I'd go with Delon Wright.
He is good/great in pretty much everything.

My pick would probably be RJ Hunter. Last I saw, he was projected to go in the 25-30 range. I think he's worth a pick in the 12-18 range.

You know who's crazy underrated right now, and just declared for the draft today? You guessed it, it's the former #2 rated prospect in the country behind only Jahlil Okafor....

Cliff Alexander

Alexander is underrated, but for Tyus Jones is or has been the most underrated guy all season, I always had him rated 9-12, and right now he is firmly 9 in my board, but everyone seems to think he belongs in the twenties.

If he could shoot he would be very valuable. As good as someone is defensively and at the little things, it's tough to be out on the floor if you have zero offensive game. If he could develop a good three point shot, he would be very valuable.

Part of why he is likely lower on mocks is because the point guard strength already in the league. What team in the lottery or even teens (or even in the entire league) really needs a pg and would take him that high? Especially with Russell and Mudiay coming in? If someone just wants an impact guy off the bench with their high first round pick, I can see it as a possibility, or maybe a team like Dallas for the future. Or the Suns may take hime since they love having like 4 point guards.

I wouldn't mind if the Bulls drafted him.

See, now there is a team that makes sense, but of course they have the 21st pick. Is he more ready to contribute right now than many guys projected to go ahead of him? Maybe. Probably, but I'm not sure someone will take another guard real high, especially with the top two guys there.

seems like he has the skills to stick in the NBA. nice back up PG, perimeter defender, potential for a 2nd rounder. really athletic.

His jump shot is fixable. There is no reason to believe he can't become a competent shooter at the NBA level. And when he can match that with his defense and athleticism, he's going to be very good.

Myles Turner, unless he forgets how to shoot the basketball he will not bust in the NBA. He will be a rotation big for a long time. He's a stretch big that isn't a defensive liability.

I like Gary Payton as a solid NBA player who looks set to go in the second round.

Bobby Portis will be a very solid starting PF and perfectly suits the modern NBA game IMO - I'd be looking at him anything from 8 - 10 down.

Brandon Dawson or Justin Anderson .

Jerell Martin. I hate tweeners but his games against Kentucky convinced me he will be a good NBA player. He's unfazed by size. If Jared Dudley can make a solid career, Jarell Martin can make it.

He's been generally rated a late 1st - which I think is more than fair - considering his lack of length at PF. His teammate, Jordan Mickey is the underrated of the 2, imo. He's generally been rated a mid 2nd rounder. Granted, he's got some obvious issues that he needs to improve on, but his explosiveness and length allow him to do things that Martin can't. Btw, he also did well in the KY game and contributed defensively.

Even in the late 1st, Martin will probably be a better pro than about 10 guys that are currently projected to go higher than him. Jordan Mickey is underrated too, but unlike Martin, who may have the ability to play SF and PF, Mickey will have to play PF. But I agree, Jordan Mickey will look like the steal of the draft once everyone sees him in summer league blocking 10 shots per game. I believe both of these guys will be better pros than Bobby Portis, who isnt physical enough to be an impact player in an NBA game.
