on 02.11.2009 | If Meeks enters the draft, I think he should be a lottery pick. He is a scorer at all levels and will be a terrific nba player. Hopefully, he doesn’t go out and somehow slips to the Celtics the next year, cuz I would take him real fast. . | Posted by

on 02.2.2009 | Who cares whether he goes to washington or washington state. He’s not pro material. Maybe he could teach phys. ed. in Pullman. . | Posted by

on 01.23.2009 | Guys, who the heck would want to waste a pick on Brockman. Come on, can you see him banging the boards with guys 5 or 6 inches taller with more quickness. He’s a flop. Italian ball, maybe. . | Posted by

on 01.12.2009 | Jon Brockman could be like a Mark Madsen atleast. Have you seen some of the busters in the league. Brockman couldn’t do any worse . | Posted by

on 12.31.2008 | I agree. No way he could average 2pts per game in the NBA. . | Posted by

on 12.4.2008 | To all of the people that are saying Stephen Curry is in the right spot, you are STUPID!! I am not saying he should be higher up, but you don’t know when he will or "should" get picked, it depends on what kind of player a team needs, so you should really shut up. . | Posted by

on 10.24.2008 | Just because players are great in college doesn’t mean they’ll be great at the next level. Look at College football for example the Hesiman trophy winner is suppose be the best player in collge. But when you look back some aren’t even chosen in the first round. Some don’t even have 4 year careers in the pros. Even look at some of the players that put up great stats in school in hoops, but didn’t pan out at the next level. When you look at Tyler and Stephen realistically should be selected between 13-23. I think it would be crazy for a team to select them higher than that at the next level they’ll be in the pack with other players, not above everyone like college. Not to compare Joakim Noah, but he is example of being selected too high. I have other examples that are better. But I have to get back to work . | Posted by
Oliver James Simpson
on 10.24.2008 | You two posers. Tyler and Stephen are stupid. I can’t believe I am even responding. But come on like a couple commenters said. Hansbrough and Curry are great college players, but at the next level they may be limited one due to size. They’ll be great contributors but objectively analyzing them mid first rounders is a good projection for them. Stop living on hype and look at the short-term (now) and long-term (NBA). When you do that mid-first round is fair. Last but not least I really hope Dominic James pulls it together his stock has been declining the last couple years. He struggles in the NBA draft camps. He needs to impress and show that his is capable of being consistent when it counts . | Posted by
Tyler Hansbrough
on 10.24.2008 | Dog i am like the best player in the draft. I am 10x better than everyone. My man Stephen Curry is right we do deserve to be in the top 5, or at least i should. I am the best dog. . | Posted by

on 10.21.2008 | I think the top five lottery teams will be Thunder, Grizzles, Pacers. Knicks, Kings. Right now I just don’t see those teams being very good. I think the number one pick will be Jennings. Number two Griffin. Number three DeRozan. Number four Mullens. Number five Rubio. . | Posted by

on 10.21.2008 | Hoping that Pat Mills has a big season on the back of his Olympics run. . | Posted by

on 10.20.2008 | I agree. This was a good mock draft to look at. Draftexpress was so-so, nbadraft was wack, and the other draft site I looked at, I can’t remember the name seemed like he was just guessing. As a Kentucky Wildcat fan, I really think Patrick Patterson is really gonna explode this season, it’s his team and with another strong season I expect him to bolt for the draft and be a lottery pick, he is a beast . | Posted by

on 10.20.2008 | To the Stephen Curry wanna be. For one if you’re really a fan than you should respect him enough to atleast write a sentence correctly. Secondly you are overhyping those two. They’re good but top 5 I don’t think so. They’ll be key contributors in the league but not top 5 talent for the next level. I say the highest they go is late lottery at best. They are top 20 players. Lastly I think two sleepers in the draft could be Lester Hudson, and Curtis Jerrells . | Posted by

on 10.20.2008 | Thank God a sensible mock draft. I was just looking at nbadraft and whoever did that one should be fired. They have many players ranked too high, some too low. And I guess they figured Ricky Rubio is either not going to be in the draft, or he isn’t good enough. . | Posted by
on 10.20.2008 | ricky rubio should be 1st with ease most americans dont no the unbelievable talent he posesesthat guy nando colo to should be in the 1st round with ease but once again americans dont keep a close enougheye on europeans . | Posted by

on 10.20.2008 | Here it comes. The fans that like to overhype their players. I think Lance placed both Stephen and Tyler in good spots. Just because they are great college players doesn’t mean they will do the same thing at the next level. Tyler will be a solid forward in the NBA, but nowhere close to being a superstar and shouldn’t be a lottery pick. Stephen is an undersized shooting guard basically. He will not be effective running the point in the NBA, when he doesn’t do it necessarily well in college. He’s a "Booby" Gibson type at best. You sound crazy for hyping them up as top 5 selections. That’s why I really like this mock draft more than others because it is objective and realistic in putting players in the general area they could go in . | Posted by
Stephen Curry
on 10.20.2008 | dog, Im hirer than that dog.catch up home boy. I should be in the first 5 picks and same for my man Tyler Hansbrough. . |
