Can't say I've ever truly been impressed with Barnes' game to date. He's no doubt a lottery pick, but I just don't see a top 3 guy (i.e. franchise player) in him.

As for Kidd-Gilchrist, he could be a top 5 prospect by season's end.

KG is far and away my favorite player, but id think hard about Davis. the brain says take davis but the heart yearns for KG. he is going to be a special, special dude.

You need to add the hyphen in K-G. I always think you know who when I read KG - and then I spit.

Franchise players

Ok i got a question for you guys. What Player(s) out of this draft have the potential to become franchise players?

Obviously just my opinion, and it's VERY early, but at this point I see Anthony Davis and Andre Drummond as the ones having the most potential, but also Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Quincy Miller and Harrison Barnes (although his stock is going down). Perry Jones certainly has the potential, but I don't think the mental aspect to fulfill it.

It is early but I would say Davis, Drummond (head not sure, ability no doubt), and Miller.

The draft overall is going to produce a number of players who will be around the league for a looong time - in my opinion.

That right there is really disappointing information.

I'm goin with Quincy He reminds me of KD maybe not as good of a shooter and a bit more confident(or cocky). I would love for the raptors to draft him.

What happened to Khem Birch? McDonalds All American was starting on a very good team at Pitt, an NBA career was on the horizon (not 2012) and he blew it all off, leaving Pitt behind. It doesn't make sense.

Perry Jones is reminding us all that he could be a number 1 draft pick:

Today in 33 minutes vs. BYU:

28 points
11/16 fg
2/2 3pt
4/7 ft
8 rebounds
4 assists
3 steals
1 turnover

I heard he got hurt?

I heard he got hurt?

He knocked knees and returned to the game was my understanding.

Jones III impresses Chad Ford

After watching Baylor-BYU, I'm really impressed with Perry Jones' improvement. IF he plays like that all season, he's No. 2 pick in Draft.

Anthony Davis RT @bosoxsnation24: who's #1?

I wouldn't be surprised if he goes top 3, and he's definitely got the talent, but I just don't think he's got the personality to be a franchise player. I see him a lot like Rudy Gay or a Lamar Odom. Excellent secondary players but too easy going to lead.
