well with the cavs likely gonna have another shitty year, we will likely get another top 5 pick
i doubt we get the top pick with cody zeller because hes the best player right now
still good options between shabuzz muhammad, nerlens noel, james michael mcdoo, and ben mclemore
as for duke though, i think mason plumlee has what it takes to get himself in the 1st round of the draft next year

No Trey Burke? Ok... Arguably the best PG in the nation, but yet he's not even in the top 5 for draft eligible PGs.. OK.

Marcus Smart is debatable. The rest is absolutely dumb. I'll be bumping this thread again when Burke is the first/second PG taken off the board.

Chad Ford @chadfordinsider 22m Trey Burke the only Top 10 player on our Big Board left in tourney. Fitting. He's been the best player in college ball all year.

He's not, exactly, a team leader, for the NBA. Good shooter, doesn't have the best floor vision. Good player, but Smart will be the impact starter Burke probably won't be. As you know, good college players don't always make good pros. Right now, Trey Burke is NOT a pro-ready point-guard, Smart is. Burke can get there, but there is no way he is a better prospect than Smart and probably Carter-Williams. Since CJ is more of a 2, Burke has to be the third best prospect, right now.
Plus, I take Chad Ford's projections, like most ESPN projections, with a grain of salt; they have odd ways of ranking players.
My own issue with the rankings is the shooting guards, after Oladipo.
Gary Harris needs more love, as does Caldwell
