Now that the season is over one of my favorite times of the year is coming up quickly on Thursday this week. Even though my team (Lakers) historically hasn't had much to do in the draft I love this time of the year because we get to see many youngsters' hopes and dreams come true and unlike football draft (which also happens to be my favorite) the draft doesn't drag on for days and the pool is somewhat smaller so I get to keep track of most players.
Who do you want your team to pick? I have put Chad Ford's tiers below for discussion purposes:
Tier 1: Anthony Davis
Tier 2: Harrison Barnes Bradley Beal MKG Thomas Robinson
Tier 3: Drummond Damian Lillard Dion Waiters
Tier 4: John Henson Perry Jones III Terrence Jones Jeremy Lamb Meyers Leonard Kendall Marshall Austin Rivers Terrence Ross Jared Sullinger Tyler Zeller
Tier 5 Moe Harkless Fab Melo Quincy Miller Arnett Moultrie Andrew Nicholson Marquis Teague Royce White Tony Wroten Jr.
Tier 6 Furkan Aldemir Will Barton Jared Cunningham Festus Ezeli Evan Fournier Draymond Green John Jenkins Orlando Johnson Doron Lamb Kyle O'Quinn Kostas Papanikolaou Miles Plumlee Jeff Taylor Tyshawn Taylor
I'm a wizards fan, and I want them to get Thomas Robinson, but we'll probably end up with MKG.
Rivers will be a great story? The kid has been rich his whole life with everything spoon fed to him, what's so great about that? Terrence Ross is the most underrated player in this draft.
anthony davis looks like a demonic serpent that crawled out of the abyss... jesus half the time i want to sprinkle holy water on him and cast him back to hell.
in all seriousness, he needs to take care of that unibrow. i can hardly look at the guy.
Not gonna happen, he just trademarked it...

I grew up watching Cuse basketball but I am a huge Waiters fan. His game reminds me of Wade's.
Ford's tiers are solid but I'd drop Henson down a tier. Guy just can't seem to add any weight and I was never impressed with his game overall. Maybe move Harkless up to tier four. Doron Lamb is very underrated too. Guy was overshadowed on a loaded team and he can shoot it. Always room for guys who can consistently drain threes in the league.
Definitely would love to hear more on why you think Waiters reminds you of Wade's game. He's a really polarizing talent this year.
Waiters is around the same size as Wade (6'4" 220), is great at attacking the basket and has really good body control and athleticism. Good in transition too and a really active defender. Wade fits all of these too.
Also, because Chad Ford and any other analyst out there makes this comparison a lot.
I bet MKG or Beal go #2
i heard that michael jordan guy is supposed to be pretty good. pretty surprising he's not staying at carolina
