UConn's Walker Going to Be Top 5 Pick

**clownpuncher** · 03-20-11, 08:47 AM

he is a very good player

makes everyone else around him better

just dont know if he will be playing the 1 or 2 spot

**FuzzyDunlop** · 03-20-11, 08:48 AM

Biggest college gamer yes. Top 5 this year, no, regardless of what else he does this tournament. CLE, WAS, MIN, SAC, TOR have the 1-5 spots, the only place Kemba could go is CLE and they are hellbent on Derrick Williams.

2 spot.
I hear he's got like a 3.8 gpa taking brain racking classes, doesn't party, and is loved by all.
He's just what the pros need right now.

You dont know who has the top spots, because the draft is a lottery.

**JerseyLove** · 03-20-11, 08:53 AM

He will go number 1 in the draft mark my words friends

**FuzzyDunlop** · 03-20-11, 08:55 AM

Going through the lottery sims now, those 5 are most likely. You can add DET, MIL, UTAH, CHAR, GS and you still only get 2 teams needing PG's with Kyrie Walker and Jimmer having more NBA uspide. He's a mid to late RD 1. pick if he goes this year.

**doublej95** · 03-20-11, 08:56 AM

top 5, doubt it.

**jjgold** · 03-20-11, 08:59 AM

What I like he is a killer type personality which is rare in sports now

Killers know how to win

**FuzzyDunlop** · 03-20-11, 09:00 AM

I agree, if he goes late Round 1, he could bring a dynasty to a playoff team.

**C-Gold** · 03-20-11, 09:01 AM

Kills do know how to win

This guy is amazing. Yes he should be a top 5 pick.

**whatsgood5** · 03-20-11, 09:48 AM

Doesn't surprise me. He's really raised his stock recently

**gryfyn1** · 03-20-11, 09:54 AM

Top 5 is questionable, but the draft isn't very strong, his skills speak for themselves and if a team happens to like his interview process, he could easily be a top 10 pick.

There is certainly question about if he can play the 2 spot, especially defensively given his size, but he has shown flashes of his ability to play the 1. but again, in a weak draft is easy to see a team near the top fall in love with his offensive skills.

**zgates** · 03-20-11, 09:55 AM

it's one of the weakest drafts i have ever seen.

**Jackson Hole** · 03-20-11, 10:00 AM

The guy would be a great 6 man on a championship team.

Guy who could run the point or score, like Vinnie Johnson with those great Piston teams.

**Powderguy** · 03-20-11, 10:05 AM

Hell no, he will not be top 5

Which five players do you draft ahead of him then?

**FuzzyDunlop** · 03-20-11, 10:39 AM

Derrick Williams, Kyrie Erving, Enes Kanter, Harrison Barnes, Donatas Motiejunas, Perry Jones, Jimmer, Terrence Jones, Marcus Morris on and on and on...

**gtkid911** · 03-20-11, 11:01 AM

Most likely as this class isnt that deep.

Man that just shows how weak ncca hoops talent is

**doublej95** · 03-20-11, 11:59 AM

Irving is still projected to be a top 5 pick and has only played in nine games. what does that say about the rest of the field.

He's a great leader and has a great sense of when to take over. He might not be Top 5, since Irving (Duke), Valanciunas (International), Sullinger (OSU), Barnes (UNC), and Jones (Baylor) have more upside, but he is definitely TOP 10.
