ESPN 2013 Mock Draft

[huskiesnyc]

Ryan Boatright #227
Omar Calhoun #190
DeAndre Daniels #142
Shabazz Napier #120

And coming in at 225 is Roscoe Smith! He's listed under Connecticut so apparently he still goes here. Chad Ford says he's an excellent shooter with deep range. Huh??

I like Kevin Duffy a lot, but it blows my mind he thinks it's a good move for Bazz to go pro. He's not in the top 60 on any draft board and only first rounders (top 30) are guaranteed money. I hope Bazz announces he's coming back soon so we don't have to speculate on this nonsense anymore.

Bazz would be a late 3rd , early 4th round pick according to ESPN. THey really aren't that far off from other mock drafts.

I always say...if you're a 4th round pick, you should probably come back to school.

Not great in a 2 round draft.

What do you mean Roscoe doesn't have deep range? Did you watch the Texas game?!?!?

If this is semi-correct everyone will stay for next season. Sounds good to me.

 

[BearJWS]

ESPN hasn't really updated their draft profiles in some time. They do so mostly with expected higher picks. Take it with a grain of salt at this time. They'll get more active with it once the season is over and who's realistically thinking of declaring for the draft.

If were gonna throw Roscoe in there, might as well list AO. Coming in at #160.

NBA draft has 2 rounds.

Unless you want to see the world.

 

[superjohn]

None of them would get drafted, it's so freaking silly that this has even been a topic. Their draft process should take about 2 seconds.

 

[seanmc94]

I think Napier will be ranked much higher; but he should still come back. No need to pull a "ShamGod"

 

[SubbaBub]

All these guys should avail themselves of the evaluation process. It is one of the benefits of playing for UConn that they have that access to the NBA. It will help their development and by extension the team next year when they all return, as they should.

There is no more evaluation process

I'm pretty sure the evaluation still exists, as petty as the NCAA made it. Last year it was April 10th. Granted it's not much help to the student athletes make an educated decision, especially if they can't go on workouts, etc while they're still taking classes. The NCAA did these kids no justice by making the deadline to return April 10th last year. I mean really, April 10th? Any other student can leave or come as they want.

Now that's a name I haven't heard for a while. In the mid-90s to early-00s two other PC names I hated: Croshere and Linehan...

It's a BS "evaluation" period, hence NO evaluation period. If you're not getting the chance to participate in NBA team sanctioned workouts, then how are you really able to evaluate where you stand?

 

[SubbaBub]

KO and JC asking their NBA contacts for their evaluations. Not only draft stock, but general strengths and weaknesses.

This thread should be about how chad ford is bad at his job.

 

[Burnsbros23]

Hes got Aaron Craft, Phil Pressey and Marshall Henderson ahead of him.

 

[superjohn]

I looked up Phil Pressey and all the draft sites have him listed at 6 feet tall except for one that has him at 5'11, ummm isn't Pressey like 5'6?

He looks about an inch or two shorter than Boat, he should be in the 5'8"-5'9" range

 

[aceboon]

I could understand Pressey because of his speed/athleticism and passing ability, Craft and Henderson, an emphatic hell no. I would love to try to see Craft try to defend guys in the NBA with his hands and see him foul out in 10 minutes. Henderson is a low basketball IQ chucker who has no place in the league, Ford is an embarrasment at his job, how he got to that position and has maintained it for so long is a mystery.

 

[superjohn]

Ford is the worst in the whole basketball business and that's saying something. Craft and Henderson won't sniff the nba.
