    Jrs ans Srs tend to drop in the draft. Morey tends to value thes guys more than other teams. Who are the upperclassmen to watch.

    Payne of MSU is interesting, but the small lungs can be worrisome especially if the Rockets continue to push the ball. Good size for a PF and has been developing a three point shot. He looks like he could be a good defensive stretch 4 that can bang down low, draw fouls, and hit free throws.

    Hairston, UNC, is a wing that reminds me James Anderson. Very good shooter. Not very fluid driving, but does draw fouls when he does go to rim.

    Stokes, Tennessee, PF, big, strong. Reminds me of Blair from the Spurs. Limited range. Backs people down very well and is tough to back down.

    Laquinton Ross, sf, osu, possible future Delfino.

    Better question is howmany all star talent is there ? I have this players as big time prospects .
    Andrew Wiggins
    Julius Randle
    Jabari Parker
    Marcus Smart
    Dante Exum
    Andrew Harrison

    2nd tier
    James Young
    Aaron Gordon
    JoJo Embid
    Chris Walker
    Mario Herzona


    Willie Cauley Stein is the Wild Card

    Then you still have alot of good players to draft towards second rd. BEST draft eve.

    If the Rockets were looking to be a lottery team, that would be a better question. Hopefully, the Rockets own pick is very bad and they will not have a shot at all-star type talent.

    Not a fan of Young, but I think McDermott has potential as a situational role player.

    Yeah what makes the is 2014 draft special is that it is not just big time top heavy but there are going to be ALOT of talent to draft in the 2nd rd.
