    The Best two players in the NBA Draft, are...??? The Steal of the Draft will be...???

    Anthony Bennett hands down has the most upside and I'm very confused why he won't be drafted #1. Alex Lin would be my second pick.

    The Steal of the Draft will easily be C.J. McCollum...

    I guess this thread is over because I just answered my own question...

    Gorgui Dieng will also be a great pick mid first round....

    Allen crabbe I think is going to be the steal of the draft. Picked in the 20s most likely skilled guy with a great shot and he's 6'6 basically was doubled teamed everytime he touched the ball at cal and averaged 20points/ . Reminds me a lot of Allen Houston who was a really good pro

    now there saying bennett is 261 which is 18 pounds overweight plus he doesnt play any d those are some of the reasons why he wont be picked until 5 or lower.

    Worst draft ever.

    Won't be drafted, but Tyrus McGee out of Iowa State will be a good free agent pickup for someone.

    Best players - Olidepo and Porter probably

    Steal - adrien Payne

    McCollum will not be a steal or sleeper, have played ball against him n with him, he's not NbA good

    steal of the draft will be a lottery pick?

    common

    best two: porter is way ahead of #2 and that is mclemore....yeah i said it

    few notes:

    withey will be a late first rounder, never a very good player but will definitely play for 10 years barring injury...that counts for something?

    isiah canaan could be a poor mans iverson/rich mans nate robinson

    siva might not get drafted...surely he makes a roster?

    if glen rice has grown out of his selfish bitch reputation then he could very well be a good nba player

    trey burke will be a steal. I also like Dieng, Porter, and Oladipo but Oladipo is still a toss up to me. he needs some work

    Oladipo and Burke will make instant impacts. Victor will make headlines on defense until he catches up on offense. Burke is the most league ready.

    If Ben goes to the Suns, he has a very good chance for Rook of the year, as he will be put in a perfect spot to shine.

    My steal is Crabbe or Ledo.

    Bust: Zeller, per usual.

    Bust of the draft will be the New Zealand Kid from Pitt, Steve Adams

    he won't be a legit first rounder even if you gave him 2 more years.... Maybe after his senior season.

    Don't know about ever but pretty bad. Lot of kids coming out early with NO chance. Something needs to change.

    Best 2 players will be Trey Burke and Victor Oladipo. The steal of the draft will be Shabazz Muhammad the guy should be top 5 but will go 12+ and is a natural born scorer and will turn out like a Kevin Durant clone.

    False.

    Sorry, Shabazz thinks he is a Kobe Bryant clone. That is his mentality. Shoot first, second, third, fourth and fifth. He is also has conditioning issues. His dad is headed to Prison for fraud among other things.

    He's Kobe, but about 1/5th of the talent - and that's being ridiculously generous.

    He is a chucker. Kind of guy that will torpedo you FG% if he was on your fantasy club.

    I think he will have a career in the league, without question - but to compare him to Kevin Durant is insane. Shabazz will likely never have a game as efficient as Durant averages.

    Dude was the best player in one of the worst recruiting classes in years. He is living almost exclusivly to he his pre college hype.

    i'm a big ucla homer. shabazz was over-rated. the guy isn't athletic enough or good enough shooter in his position to succeed in the nba...

    Thats Kobes and Durants mentality shoot and score nothing wrong with that if you are a great player and can score at will. Conditioning will not be a problem with the great NBA strength and conditioning coaches. Also who cares if his dad is in trouble for fraud what difference will that make on his skill level. Trust me he will be a great player.

    Shabazz is a bum.

    His length makes him look more athletic than he is, which he is not....
    Probably the worst playmaker/passer in the history of basketball given the % of time the basketball is in his hands.
    Lazy, selfish, unathletic and not really that talented as initially hyped.

    Waste of a pick.

    Don't think any of the top picks are worth their spots.


    A couple sleepers are Tony Snell and Isaiah Canaan

    First overall? Hmm. See, I thought that - and then the names that follow, like Dieng, simply don't make sense.

    Choices like Dieng and Ollynk, but no Oladipo, no Len.... and on top of all that, they have the most juiced prospect as Crabbe?!
