    And yes you can assume Drummond, Davis, and everyone else is going to there.

    We can select multiple players in the poll...

    I think Davis has the most potential and depending on the coach and team he's going to play for, chances are high he will be the best. Hope the Rockets can get him :)

    I believe its between perry an sullinger. Perry seems to be to much of a mismatch to not be a good role player at worst. Everybody else looks a possible bust, although i don't know much of T robinson

    Austin Rivers, and I'm insulted that you didn't even list him.

    Keep an eye on FR Tony Wroten, skilled lefty at U Dub. 6'5'' one-man wrecking crew from Seattle... turned down full rides from Kentucky, Kansas, and UConn.

    He's going to be a big-time player at the next level...

    I really like what I see from Meyers Leonard. Won't be the best player, I don't think, but possibly the best player we may be able to get where we'll be in the draft. Nowhere near a finished product, but 2-3 years down the road? Could be something.

    2012:

    Higher-End draft picks, top 10 (At least a couple of all star appearances to a career all-star)

    Andre Drummond (if he comes out)
    Anthony Davis
    Harrison Barnes
    Jared Sullinger
    Michael Gilchrist

    Middle part of the draft (players who could be pretty decent NBA players to all-star possibilities)

    Perry Jones
    Brad Beal
    Austin Rivers
    Arnett Moultrie
    Meyers Leonard

    I selected Drummond but AFAIK he is not going to be entering the draft until 2013.

    I believe it may very well be Michael Kidd-Gilchrist that's who I want the Rockets to target in the draft!!

    You need Swag to succeed in the NBA. Kobe, Bron and Jordan didn't get to where they are without Swag.

    Rivers will be the best player out of this draft.

    MKG is also missing from the poll.

    Just can't see Drummond not entering the draft when he's a predicted #1 pick. Understand it for late-lottery, etc. guys.
    But if you top 5? Millions of bucks you will get the following year plus you already locked your high position in the draft. No worrying about injuring yourself in the next season.

    I think it's Anthony Davis. He's the best big-man college prospect I've seen since Antonio McDyess (yes i know they are nothing alike, but i am talking about the certitude of their NBA success). This kid has loads of upside and he already has the fundamentals. With his size and athleticism, the sky is the limit.
