    Adetokoubo will definitely be drafted in the first round. Teams have been talking about him going around 5-10. I don't see why Ford would not even list him in the draft.

    He's the type of player that wants to get better, good decision by him.

    Good that he wants to get better, but is he going to get drafted ahead of the Andrew Wiggins/Jabari Parker/Julius Randles of the 2014 Draft? Seems like right now in the 2013 NBA Draft he's a top 5 pick... maybe top 3.

    I'm not complaining though since the Rockets don't have a 2013 first and currently will have their 2014 first.

    Nope. Because Rice joined the D-League after being kicked off the team at Georgia Tech, he never went through the draft process and therefore remains draft eligible.

    A very similar situation took place in 2007-08 with Mike Taylor. Taylor played a year at Iowa State before getting kicked off the team. He played in the D-League for a year with the Idaho Stampede, then got drafted 55th overall in the 2008 NBA Draft.

    Latavious Williams (drafted 48th overall in 2010) went straight from high school to the D-League, played with the Tulsa 66ers for a year, then entered the NBA Draft.

    This explains a lot. Was slightly curious why there was not at least talk of bringing him up this season.

    It's being reported that he might stay in school for another season. I honestly think he should.

    Smart is making a horrible decision. He will not be a top 5 pick next year and scouts will just over analyze his game. Most importantly injury is always a possibility.

    Most of these guys need a least one more year in college. So many are so raw and will end up sitting at the end of the bench and probably never reach full potential. Bad for the NBA and bad for College basketball.

    Reading comprehension FAIL. My bad, coach.

    I see Noel going first, and the Cavs picking Porter (regardless of where they end up). I'll post a mock draft once the lottery's done.

    The only player I really saw with star potential in this draft was Marcus Smart, be he is returning to school. Some of these players can be good but this class is pretty weak. Hopefully these players prove me wrong though.
