2012 NBA Draft

[The Great One]

RIGHT NOW. Who are the Top 10 best players in this draft??

2012 Class is one of those draft class that i followed religiously compared to some of the other draft year because there were a lot of players that i really like in this class.

My Top 10 right now:

1. Damian Lillard
2. Anthony Davis
3. Andre Drummond
4. Brad Beal
5. Harrison Barnes
6. Terrence Ross
7. John Henson
8. MKG
9. Andrew Nicholson
10. Jeremy Lamb

I also remember that year, Austin Rivers was so highly touted. There were talks that he might go top 5. A year before people were saying he'd go #1. Well right now he's averaging 4ppg 1rbg 0.6ast for the Pelicans. Wow.

[mcHAPPY]

This would be my lottery:

1. Lillard
2. Davis
3. Drummond
4. Beal
5. Henson
6. Barnes
7. Ross
8. Plumlee
9. Sullinger
10. Lamb
11. MKG
12. Green
13. Wroten
14. Nicholson

I know he's got some big negatives in his game, but I would think Waiters would still be somewhere in the lottery.

[Superjudge]

Is Barnes better than Ross?

[draftedraptor]

John Henson is so underrated

[Superjudge]

I was thinknig that, Isn't Henson doing very well????

[ceez]

I was one of if not the biggest Lillard backers before the draft and I still love him but if you guys think that he'd go before Davis then I don't know what to say

[ceez]

I'd like to take this moment to pat myself on the back about Lillard. "But he's from a small school!" you all cried. "But he's not a great defender!" you bemoaned.

NOW LOOK AT YOU ALL

[Raptorsnz]

Wow, so you guys would take Lillard over Davis? That's very interesting, I'd definitely take Davis over Lillard every single time. Much harder to find a good big man (although I know PG is more important these days), it's not like Lillard is blowing Davis' year out of the water but most importantly for me Davis is 3 years younger than Lillard.

I can't even imagine how good Davis will be in 3 years.

1. Davis
2. Lillard
3. Drummond
4. Beal
5. Henson
6. Barnes
7. Ross
8. MKG
9. Sullinger
10. Lamb
11. Plumlee
12. Green
13. Wroten
14. Nicholson

I should email the link to that thread to Masai as my resume.

I'll make weekly threads about all the funny pranks we pull on Weltmann

[MACK11]

1. Davis
2. Lillard
3. Beal
4. Drummond
5. Barnes
6. Henson
7. Ross
8. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
9. Sullinger
10. Lamb
11. Plumlee
12. Waiters
13. Wroten
14. Nicholson
I would take Davis over Lillard every single time

[mcHAPPY]

The only thing causing me to not have Davis over lillard is injuries to this point in his career.

[The Great One]

20 years ago i probably would go with the big. But the NBA right now has become a guards league. You're not going to win in this league without great guard play.

Give me a guard over a big anyday of the week.

Like in the upcoming draft. I'd take a guy like Exum or LaVine over a guy like Embiid. Didn't mention Parker and Wiggins, because it's a no brainer i'd take either one of them over Embiid.

Actually he still is an awful defender. Getting better yes, but he got destroyed last year.

I still think Davis gets taken number 1
