Shabazz Muhammad,Nerlens Noel,Michael Carter-Williams.I'am interested in a small school guy Robert Covington SF 6-9 225 Tennessee St and where he will end up.Most scouts say Covington is a 2nd round pick.I hope he will be taken in the late first round.

Muhammad? Haha. He won't break a starting lineup in the fall. Noel is more offensively challenged than Davis was coming out of Kentucky & is coming off injury. I'm a big Cuse fan & watched Carter-Williams play for the past two years, he'll be a bench player as well.

It depends on who takes them you never know and there are other ways for them to make a contribution Noel is a great shot blocker for instance.

contribute is very different than make an impact. No one in this draft will make an impact.


This is a terrible draft class

The NBA draft in the past 10-15 years has rapidly become to represent what the MLB or NHL drafts are like. The NFL is the only draft that consistently produces what you call impact players.

And those leagues have minor league systems...the NBA needs to fully invest in and develop the D-League. Honestly, unless its a surefire breakout pick, the rest of these guys are just tying up roster spots for veterans.

Well I think Noel will make impact on defense with his obvious skill of shot blocking like ex wildcat Davis before him.

Hmm, yet many players who end up undrafted try their luck overseas and most likely have their entire playing careers there.
All the Ivy League needs to become relevant again is to diversify its OOC schedule.

Weak draft. Noel will never be able to score in the NBA. The 3 high upside players I like are Olidipu, Plumlee, and Burke

As stated before Noel may not be up the second coming of Wilt Chamberlin but he could be the 21st century version of William Felton Russell.Plumlee is defensive liability.Syracuse shut Oladipo down using a simple zone.He reminds me of Andre Iguodala plenty of athleticism but can't score.Dick Vitale called him the next Jordan!!!!!!

Plumlee is a very good help defender. As he gets stronger, will become a good man defender. Olidipu reminds me of a better version of Iggy.

Zeller could have just locked up the top spot with that combine. Crazy numbers. Best vert all time for a guy over 6'9. He's 7'0 barefoot. Beat just about every guard at the combine in sprinting numbers.

I hope Plumlee hits the weights with whomever drafts him he will need it plus work on overall footspeed the nba game is like warp drive compared with the college version.Yes Oladipo reminds me of a young Iguodala but Iggy's a better defender.

If Mason were black you'd be trumpeting him being the next hall of fame player

Strength I agree with, but foot speed? Are we watching the same guy? Easily the best foot speed of big guys outside of Zeller, who is just a freak.

Okay I stand corrected in the area of footspeed.We will see that footspeed on display.

You must admit that players from Duke outside of Grant Hill,Kyrie Irving had a impact on the NBA.All have been major bust but we will see on the Plumlee brothers.I hope that they prove me wrong.

Watching ESPNs First Take and they are talking about the draft right now.Chad Ford has CJ McCollum of Lehigh as a potential lottery pick as a point guard?!?!?!?
