He'll play more PF in the NBA until/if he is able to add a solid 15lbs in the future. He'll be fine IMO,with time Davis should learn how to play inside and still be a weapon out in transition. On defense he won't be guarding the Howard/Bynum's of the NBA, he is an amazing weak side shot blocker.

Tony Wroten declared and Bill Self said last night that Thomas Robinson was basically playing in his final game.

Id be okay with Sullinger, i guess. Thompson never developed his offensive game and chuck hayes is just a good rotation guy.

I guess I'd be ok with Zeller. He needs to toughen up though because he may just get raped by guys like Javale McGee and other such goons in our division.

It's a deep class, but the top tier is a bit underwhelming imo.

Anthony Davis and Thomas Robinson are All-Stars. Davis has franchise type potential, without a doubt. Then it's full of 8-12 guys that could start an All-Star game down the line.

Is Davis' ceiling really a league MVP? Someone said he was a comp to Bill Russell? Is that a bit insane?

It would be nice to win a top 3 pick again in the lottery to get Davis, Kidd-Gilchrist, or Robinson......but if not then I hope the Cavs get Brandon Beal at 4 or 5. Irving/Beal backcourt would be quite nice......I'm definitely hoping for MKG though, he is exactly what the Cavs need on the wing.

Anthony Davis really has MVP potential but very rarely do prospects peak in such a way. I think Kidd-Gilchrist is the clear cut #2 player at this point.

Which prospects stock has dropped more since last year, Barnes or Sullinger?

Neither, Sullinger has always been a borderline top 10 talent and Barnes a borderline top 5, this class is just such a infinite amount better than last year where they could of went top 3

IDK if I would take MKG at 2 honestly. He is a jack of all trades master of none kind of guy from what I have read from a lot of reports. I question if that is worth the #2 overall pick. I know you could say a sg/sf is our biggest need but we should still go BPA besides PG. I really want Robinson

Russell is a bit insane. His ceiling is basically prime Chris Webber, with shot-blocking skills; which probably could make him an MVP candidate.

The Russell & Kareem hype for Davis is nuts. Let's see how he does in the league first before we compare him to top 10 players of all time.

Think Andre Iguodala or Luol Deng, I would take a guy like that #2 considering the other options. Robinson is definitely limited offensively when facing a guy with length, even though I do see him being a good pro, I compare him to Derrick Favors. Barnes is a meh pick I see him as more a 3rd/4th option in the league, Beal i like but he hasn't been as good of a shooter than you would think, and not a huge fan of 6-4" SG's although there are definitely exceptions. I will take MKG any day at #2 even if Singleton and Vesely are similar players. MKG will give you no matter what great defense, rebounding, and an endless motor, but his offensive skill set is underrated. Gilchrist is the type of player the Wizards need, a player with heart and a brain. Robinson would definitely be a good pick though, but he's not too much different from what Booker brings although the upside is far greater. I'm still a Jeremy Lamb fan, and no matter what you have to consider Andre Drummond. He as a prospect reminds me a ton of Deandre Jordan as both had disappointing freshman seasons after huge hype, but give it 3-4 years and I think Drummond will be an allstar.

Since UConn is now ineligible for the 2013 NCAA Tournament do we see a mass exodus from Storrs?
I see Drummond leaving, could Napier, Boatright, and Lamb all leave as well?

DeShaun Thomas returning to Ohio State next season! He could be a 20-10 guy, I expect him to explode now that he is the go to guy on offense with Sullinger gone. Guy was a beast in the tournament.

Are you referring to their sexual preference or their draft eligibility?
