I was just thinking of this randomly, thought it was interesting

Ranking 1-30, how would each player be drafted, SOLELY based upon how we think they will do in the NBA. Like guys like Darko and Thabeet go high in this, when late first rounders like Rondo don't go so high.



I was thinking of this in terms of how Anthony Davis is being compared to others. Like where does he place on this list.

Davis would be 3rd behind LeBron and Oden.

You weren't thinking of this randomly, you got the idea from the shit ESPN did a few days ago, ranking all the No. 1 picks, then you just changed it a little

Doesn't make much sense to me, you put Brook Lopez on there but not guys who went higher than him in his own draft class.

brook was argued to be in the top 5 until the draft actually happened.

Based on potential.

There are guys drafted in the 15-20 range in most drafts that have higher ceilings than players drafted ahead of them, but usually aren't near as NBA ready as others.

That being said, I sort of just threw together names after about 20. It's an arbitrary list, and pretty hard to put together.

I wouldn't pick Anthony Davis over D-Rose/Blake..I'd pick him over Wall though.

I thought Blake wouldn't be that good to be honest.

I'm not a big Blake Griffin fan to be completely honest, though he's fun to watch.

hes going to get his shot better and a better post game over the next few years. hes going to be a career 20/10 type player. i still think id take AD over him though.

Blake was 20/10 as a rookie..Don't see AD approaching that

right now i dont see it but i still think he has more potential because he can change the game on defense. if they came out in the same draft i think 8/10 gms would take AD
