name the top 13

1. James
2. Anthoney
3. Perkins
4. Bosh
5. Duhon
6. Marcus
7. White
8. Ford
9. Hinrich
10. Ridenour or Collison?????

I don't know much about the European influence next year. Could be staggering, if this year's picks perform like Gasol did last year. James is the only probable no-brainer. Ford's got a lot of upside; and could go top 5 if he steps up his scoring some.
The insider's say Carmello's the real deal. Perkins is supposed to have a body for the nba, too.
The KU guys (Hinrich and Collison) could go high if Kansas wins another 30 games and Gooden turns into a steal.

Other than my comments, I have no clue; just what I've read.

Who knows?????? Interesting topic, though.

 

What's up with Hinrich as the 3rd spot. Are you kidding me this guy won't amount to Trajan Langdon. You're joking right?

 

CHRIS BOSH, PERKINS???

They are NOWHERE near ready. After Kwame, Tyson, and Eddy, don't expect HS players or early entries to be picked lottery (exception Lebron)

And Chris Duhon at #2 would be one of the worst picks of all time

This whole mock is a freaking joke other than the 1st pick...

 

i heard james white might be getting the jim pt wise this year cus of that euro christian dejo or something like that . . . wonder that'll do for his position . . . i mean he's a skywalker, don't get me wrong, just curious . . . but tsika got drafted w/ no pt, so i dunno

 

It's way too early to tell. From first glance though it looks like a really weak draft. If anything that just means more potential suprise picks.

The last few year has taught us to except some foreign players to jump into the lotto (how many of us would have put nick t. and hilario last year at this time), esp. if this year's foreign crop does well.

Also besides lebron, it's possible that one or more or either perkins, ndudi ebi, james lang, or jackie battle enter the draft. With a good senior year and some hype from workouts, all of these guys could be lotto picks next year.

While guys like emeka okafor, tj ford, and james white all might be high first round picks, there no way to know whether or not they'll come out. Also how will the freshman do and will they come out.

Having said that, here are ten american players who i think will go mid to high first round if they come out.

Kirk Hinreich
Nick Collison
Emeka Okafor
Kenderick Perkins
Raymond Felton
Carmelo Anthony
Chris Duhon
Ndi Ebi
Lebron James
Andre Brown

 

I didn't expect Curry, CHandler or Kwame to produce instantly. The point is, unless the kid looks like a stud(Lebron) people aren't going to be so likely to waste lottery picks. Kendrick Perkins is nowhere even CLOSE to ready. I'm sure you've never even seen this kid play. You probably went to NBAdraft.net and are one of those pathetic kids who jock hyped up players without even seeing them. Recite by memory all your favorite recruiting analyst's thoughts, because you don't know what you're talking about.
Do you even live in Houston?
You probably couldn't even tell me what team Perkins went to without looking it up? Do you know who he played in the 4A championship? Do you know what happened to him? What about at the Academy tournament? You don't know a thing, so stop talking ignorantly. You're making a fool of yourself talking so matter-of-factly that Perkins is a Lotto pick. Maybe he will be, but it would have to be an awfully dumb GM to do so.

The only way that Bosh or Perkins would be lottery is because next year's draft is ridiculously weak.

I would bet you that Bosh & Perkins won't be lottery, but how would I?

 

Can I get in on this bet?

Lol...Bosh and Perkins = bust. Did u see the McDonald's All-American game? Bosh sucks.

That is all.

 

I'll bet the bulls wish they'd have gone with Battier instead of the 2 benchwarmers.

Yeah, I can't imagine that someone'll take a chance on another high school crybaby with the talent that'll be on the board.

Go Collision.

 

well...wagner. how one estonian boy is so familiar with US college & high school players??
