The consensus #1 pick usually doesn't bust nowadays. Bennett was a reach and no one projected to go 1 and Oden had horrible knee injuries other than that all the consensus guys are superstars/all stars.

Wall - Davis - Kyrie - Blake - Rose

I have agreed with the #1 pick. If the Knicks get Okafor thats a great start. I should have clarified when I meant top pick as 2 or 3.

I'll take 1 or 2, Mudiay looks like a Wall clone and Okafor is the best true Center prospect since who knows when.

I love Okafor. Hes the most offensively ready true freshman I've seen in years. As great as Davis is, I would bank on Okafor being a better offensive player than Davis was year 1.

I would agree, great passer, great touch, great post moves....he's really special.
 
Thats a good deal. Cleveland can always buy a late first rounder or early second rounder in future years if there is a player they like.

They are all in an have to convince Lebron to stay long term.

He's right, other than LAL/NYK/Brooklyn, no one goes into the repeat tax.

That is a FACT.

The luxury tax isnt a huge deal but the repeat tax is why some teams are hesitant, you can deny it all you want.

Anyone that follows college basketball says this draft has 3 stars *Okafor / Towns / Mudiay*

The Knicks have a top 3 pick.......

The draft is very top heavy....you could add Turner to the list if he declares but after that there aren't many stars. Stein, Winslow, Johnson, Harrell will be good players but probably not super-stars/stars like the other 4-5 guys could be.

Mudiay, yes.

Okafor eventually but not as a rookie, even AD had a so-so rookie year.

I've seen Towns play, i dont see superstar there.

I try really really really hard to avoid talking about the Jazz because they have their issues, but this guy is a freak. He's eating Chicago's big men alive on the defensive end tonight

Jazz are a funny team. They have a lot of individual talent but they just don't know how to play together well yet. Exum is going to be really really good.

Honestly, I think it's by design.

They have three players that are having nice seasons (Hayward, Gobert, and Favors). We also have Exum who has looked really nice in flashes.

The problem is we don't have much outside of that and it's a nice way to tank while letting young players grow. I could the Jazz making a trade this summer for a nice piece (an Eric Bledsoe type).

Kanter shold be another guy who is better than he is. A big man that skilled is rare.

They need to sell on Burke because he is at best a backup PG. I'd say he is a prime candidate to be included in a trade.
