fucking ruined my bracket, had mizzou final four...

o'quinn had a great game, cant wait to see him v patrick young.

He'll probably get drafted by the Wiz, get put at PF next to Nene. The only place out of current lottery teams where he would be put at Center is maybe, Toronto, Cleveland, Charlotte, and possibly NO. New Jersey, Sac, Gstate, and Det, would use him at PF. So it's 50/50.

Teams rarely (never?) play #1 overall selections out of position.

He's a PF.

edit: speaking of uk fuck lamb and drummond for not getting uconn a win. that second round would've been great.

I am hoping that an inconsistent freshman like Quincy Miller drops to the second round so that we can pick him up. I feel as though there will be a couple of potential gems in that mold that make it to at least the NOH 2nd, even Plumlee would not be a terrible pickup there.

There is no chance he falls even close to that far and if there were he obviously wouldn't declare.

HUGE upset, Norfolk st. over Missouri, great game

lol mizzou

Austin Rivers plays like there is a magnet on the right side of the floor.

Well, I guess everybody's bracket is pretty much screwed now. (And that's why I never do one.)

I guess we can add CJ McCollum to the list of guys with the Lakers pick. Can you say instant offense off the bench?

Here's a write up from Chad Ford:

Sleeper
• Lehigh's C.J. McCollum isn't a stranger to college basketball fans and NBA scouts. They've been watching him closely since his breakout freshman season at Lehigh. But, over the course of the past six weeks, with word coming that McCollum might declare for the draft, teams are taking a closer look and liking what they see.

McCollum is a 6-foot-3 scoring machine who can light it up from anywhere on the floor. He's quick with the basketball, an elite rebounder for a guard and racks up steals. The biggest question for McCollum was whether he could work his magic against the elite teams in college basketball.

In the past seasons, he has struggled. This year was an improvement. Against St. John's, Iowa State and Michigan State, McCollum got his points but didn't shoot well from the field against relentless pressure.

Still, if he does declare for the draft, he has a shot at making the second round, even the late first round, according to a handful of NBA scouts.

PLAYER EVALUATION
Projection Late First Round Pick
Positives
Electric scoring guard
Quick first step
Excels in transition
Solid shooter with range on his jumper
Excellent rebounder for a guard
Picks up a lot of steals
Very efficient
Negatives
Needs to add strength
Lacks elite athleticism
A tweener?

No way Rivers comes out now.

[Damage]

No way Rivers comes out now.

And honestly, he shouldn't. He'll be a top 5 lock next season.

A guy who should (and obviously will) is Mason Plumlee. At least he doesn't loaf like Drummond
