    So I'm looking at this mock NBA Draft

    Am I crazy, or does this board have Aaron Craft being taken in the second round but DeAndre Kane going undrafted?

    What. The. f\*\*k.

    This one has Keith Appling going 56th, but Kane only 60th.

    Am I missing something? What does Kane not have? I'd definitely take him in the first round if I'm an NBA team. I know he's older, but a physical 6-5 guard who's a 40% three-point shooter? Sign me up.

    I don't know what skills "translate" to the NBA anymore. Maybe that's why this league has become such dogshit.

    I don't either. Kane seems like everything you'd want in a PG at that level, yet he's listed behind a bunch of scrubs and kids who haven't proven anything on both of these boards.

    He has tweener size. He's basically Wade's size without the quickness and explosiveness that Wade had in his prime but Kane is stronger. He also doesn't have the best jumpshot but I wouldn't say he's a bad shooter. Also, he's just shy of 25.

    I'm not saying he's a future NBA All-Star, but he's a hell of a lot better than about 80% of the guys who will be picked ahead of him on draft day. I personally think he should be a borderline lottery prospect.

    A 6-4 point guard who's built like a rock should be on someone's radar.

    All about potential Cameron Bairstow is the best player in the country and probably goes undrafted because he is almost 24

    Agree. Craft and Appling will never see a single second of NBA action.

    NBA is screwy, 75% of these picks don't seem to work out so might as well take the young guys. I guess that's how they look at it. Would take Kane over my man Ennis right now but that 5 year difference is the issue.

    Yep, Craft is worthless in the NBA, Chris Quinn made it but he could shoot. Craft brings nothing to the table really.

    They are all different from site to site, I use to look at them a while back, its just their guesses and they have no clue really who a team will select. No doubt it will be shuffled up quite a bit right before draft day also.

    Yeah stautkas will be a 1st rounder he could thank his former teammate Tim hardaway Jr for that basically he is a better shooter but not as athletic as hardaway and looked how he is doing in the nba and he was a mid 1st rounder

    Stauskas didn't have a clue how to do anything other then shoot a year ago. His game has involved but he takes too many bad shots.

    If Stauskas makes the draft (which he should) I could see him strictly sticking around as a 6-6 SG...Although he would get abused by 98% of SG's in the league. But Buddinger isn't a lock down defender or anything and he's still in he league. Stauskas is only 20 years old, can still learn to do things.

    I guess they have similarities. But, after watching Budinger in college and Stauskas I don't think it's close who the better player is.

    They all turn out to be bust.

    1st Adam Morrison -Bust
    2nd Cody Zeller- Bust
    3rd- Doug McDermit- def a bust

    Rodney Hood and Kyle Anderson to the Bulls in the first round sounds very delicious

    Is he a true PG? Combo PG's are a dime a dozen in the NBA.

    I don't like either of those to the Bulls. Neither of those guys play defense. Hood might have tried a few times this year. Kyle - nope. Not once. He had never, at any point in his life, attempted to lock his man up.

    Anderson also seriously thinks he's Magic reincarnate.

    The Bulls scouts look for very specific talent, and neither of these guys are on their radar. I almost guarantee it.

    McBuckets wont be a bust. The other two seemed rather obvious. Morrison projected to be nothing more than a role player at best. Zeller? C'mon.
