Pin this. We know who the top guys are like Okafor, Towns, Mudiay & Johnson. It's time to talk about them.

Really weak draft after the top few guys. Could lead to a lot of people declaring early

In other words guys like Tyus Jones.

That'd be foolish. Its so much easier to find a good scoring guard than a good scoring big.

I'm not as big on him as others are
 
I see him with the body/speed of John Wall, but his intangibles are much worse

None of us know how big of a ceiling Mudiay has. At best, someone has seen like two full games he's played and then highlight videos. It's difficult for professional scouts to determine a player's ceiling from seeing them play a season in college, asking some forum posters about someone who's playing in China is pointless.

Well thanks!!
Since I've never seen you here before, that really speaks to how much you know about member knowledge here, and the info they have on upcoming prospects
Because you speak for everybody!!!

If you can point me to any member who has seen Mudiay play on more than 5 occassions, I'd be happy to retract my statement.

Just from all the HS all-star games (McDonald's, JBC, etc)

I wouldn't say his intangibles are far worse than Wall because remember, John Wall's jumper was terrible for a long time. I know that's just one intangible, but you get the picture.

I definitely would take Okafor over him though. Okafor's post game is unreal. Watching every Duke game and it still is crazy every now and then. He's got a full arsenal.

I don't think he's the dynamic athlete Wall is. He probably plays with more pace than John did at 18.

Ok seems like the consensus is Okafor at 1.. The cloud around Muiday is intriguing though..

Russell from Ohio State is intriguing as well.
