    Where would this drafts top prospects go in last seasons draft?

    Taking what we know about the prospects now, where do you think the top prospects in this draft would have gone last year? Or if not gone, where do you think they would have ranked big board wise? So we are talking about the 16.2 ppg Otto Porter, not the 9.7 ppg one.

    I'm probably in the minority but I'd prefer McLemore to Beal.

    Had to read your first sentence twice before I understood the list. That looks about right. Going by this list we would have had our pick from Drummond, Porter, and Noel. Would have been nice.
    We want more! We want more!

    1. A. Davis (Duh)
    2. Drummond (No one's going to pass up this guy after seeing that he could do what we thought he could).
    3. Noel (Concerns with weight and injury keep him here, but in essence he's Davis without the offensive potential)
    4. Lillard (Not sure how much better he gets from here, but him and Noel were tied for me. you can do a lot worse than Lillard).
    5. Porter (Great Defender and can actually shoot is why I have him over MKG. Many may disagree bc MKG has the motor, but I think Porter isn't near the liability in one phase of the game.)
    6. MKG (Does a bit of everything, but very flawed on offense.
    7. Beal (I have him higher bc of his ball handling ability, but I really have him and BM the same.)
    8. Mclemore (see Above)
    9. Barnes (Good size, solid game, almost no risk. doesn't do anything great, doesn't really do much bad).
    10. Burke (Wonderful player but just doesn't stack up with the rest of the pack).

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    I'm not really sure you can look at it from the perspective of seeing how last year's guys performed in the NBA this year. Really need to somehow look at it from before they played this year.

    I would have them ranked as (and trying not to take into consideration how the rookies played this year):

    Davis
    Barnes
    Noel
    Porter
    MKG
    McLemore
    Robinson
    Beal
    Burke
    Cody Zeller

    I wasn't high on Drummond because I think he's mentally weak and will always be limited offensively and in particular at the free throw line. And although I was relatively high on Lillard, I think his ceiling is limited and that he would also reach his potential in the NBA fairly quick because of his age. His position doesn't help either. There are plenty of good PGs in the league.

    Agreed if we going with current knowledge Drummond is definitely top 5 and lillard is the best guard in draft till proven otherwise.

    It would be cool, if the team got Davis at #1 and Noel at #10 last year. Then the best SF in this years draft, and Gordon and Rivers.
