wonder who the Bucks will pick, they could use a PF to add more depth down low

Yeah I agree, probably Zeller

Just hoping the Cavs either get MKG or Beal. I'd settle for Barnes, but would prefer one of the other two. (Just don't want Drummond.)

Completely agree. I hope their draft board looks like this:

1. MKG
2. Beal
3. Barnes

4. Drummond
5. TRob

I almost want Beal as much as MKG too. I just hate drafting a player that can't shoot, even though it is really the only thing he can't do lol

Am I missing what everyone likes so much about Barnes? He screams bust to me.

Wouldn't mind Leonard to the Bucks, that will move Udoh to the PF and give the Bucks a nice frontcourt. BTW, does anyone think Austin Rivers may fall a bit? I know he was more of a SG in college, but i'm not sure he can handle the PG duties

I wouldn't be surprised if he does... I don't like him that much, but I still think a team in the 10-14 range will take him (NOH or PHX maybe)

Just my opinion, but having watched Myers Leonard at Illinois, he didn't seem that impressive, even against guys much smaller than him.

Don't the Pistons have enough damn forwards? Kinda surprised to see how many mock drafts have them taking Henson.

I will be really happy if Dion Waiters falls that far to #13. The Suns really need help in the backcourt.
