Thank you Rob Ski. People keep in mind the name DeMarcus Nelson in the NBA Draft. Mock drafts have him getting drafted in the 2ND Round eventhough there was talk about DeMarcus as player of the year. Expect DeMarcus to be a slasher, defensive specialist, rebounder & taking care of the little things. Oh and steals...he will have many of those. On the offense of end he will not be a 3point shooter. NBA range is to long for the way DeMarcus shoots. He kind of cups the ball when he shoots. Most of his points will indeed come in the paint. Can anyone challenge me on those points? .

UHH PARDON ME BUT RICE WAS ACC PLAYER OF THE WEEK (NOT YEAR). WITH THAT SAID, IT WAS AN EXTREMLY IMPRESSIVE SHOOTING PERFORMANCE BY TYRESE... BUT REFRAIN FROM INSULTING TY LAWSON, IT WAS HIS FIRST GAME BACK. I AGREE THAT HE HAS NO HELP, BUT THAT IS FAR FROM THE POINT... AND THE JAY - Z METAPHOR DOESNT APPLY TO SPORTS BECAUSE IN SPORTS NUMBERS CAN LIE DEPENDING ON YOUR POSITION. IF YOUR A FAN YOU TEND TO SHOW FAVOR. BUT AN UNBIAS NBA SCOUT WILL SEE THE FLAWS OF HIS GAME IF TRANSITIONING TO THE NBA... ILL PIGGYBACK THAT GUY TO EMPHASIZE MY POINT, AND AS MUCH AS I DESPISE DUKE, DEMARCUS NELSON ISNT A MORE PURE SHOOTER THAN TYRESE , HOWEVER HIS SKILL-SET IS BETTER SUITED FOR THE NBA THAN RICE’S...AND TO FURTHER AMPLIFY MY POINT HERE IS A LIST OF PEOPLE WHOSE NUMBERS HAVE LIED...1.THOSE THAT I STATED ON THE PREVIOUS ENTRY... 2.KWAYME BROWN, 3.SEBASTIAN TELFAIR,4. MILES SIMON,5.-11. ALL DUKE PLAYERS (EXCEPTION TO GRANT HILL) AND THE DISGRACE OF TARHEEL NATION...12.JOSEPH FORTE...NOW THIS SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO SHOW YOU GUYS (va2up2down & atkshun12) THE LIGHT, IF NOT YOU ALL ARE JUST BEING NAIVE IF YOU EVEN THINK THIS KID SHOULD EVEN ENTER THIS YEARS DRAFT. HE BETTER GET HIS DEGREE. IM OUT. .

To all the Tyrese Rice haters (Rob Ski) What do you have to say about him now that he dropped 46 against your tarheels? 34 in the 1st half alone 8-12 from deep and he was making Lawson and Thompson look stupid just toying with them sure UNC won the game but he has NO HELP @ all. Men Lie Women Lie numbers dont..... Tyrese Rice 21.4 ppg, 5.0 apg, 38.4 minutes per game(1st in ACC) 43.9% Field Goal pct .

Please....why is DeMarcus Nelson not in the 1st round? Are you kidding me? The boy is a mini Dwight Howard. He actually is out of Vallejo, Ca which means Duke basketball is holding him from doing what he was recruited for. His game is way beyond what we see on TV. He has been playing in summer leagues against NBA players since his sophmore year in high school. This list needs to contain a real ballers name. DEMARCUS NELSON!!! .

Roy Hibbert is completely over rated. He is not as talented as people say. I know plenty of players that should be ranked over him. IDIOTS. Who ever put him that high is a real ASSFACE. .

With lock down "d" like mario chalmers he should be taken higher he’s a hustle player. hustle players produce steals, create turnovers, and score on fastbreaks .

Eric Gordon is no punk. Remember Indiana grown it’s a numbers game, and he is surely putting up numbers. He gets to the line more than anybody in the Big Ten. Stop hatin man!!!! .
