its early but I think the top 5  for the draft is far away from the rest

1. Okafor - not much debate for #1 overall.. great post player, defense the whole package for a big man..

2. Mudiay - I would give strong consideration for him at one.. reminds me of Rondo but can SHOOT!... best overall pg prospect I've seen in years..

3. Turner - Getting a boost up because he plays a true center and plays stellar defense

4. Hezenoja - this kid is special.. 6'7" euro guard who maoves well with the ball and can shoot lights out .. this name will heat up watch..

5. Johnson - freak athelite.. has a young Igudola written all over him

Hey Paul Allen nice list, but your Seahawks are down 13-0. Shouldn't you be at the game ?

I hope that's the top 5. That means Karl Towns will still be around. Also think consideration  should be placed for Russell

well, since we'll be in the top 4, I have no doubt Towns won't make it past us.   I don't think Turner makes it into the top 5.

I feel real good saying my top four are:

Okafor
Mudiay
Towns
Johnson

After that there is, IMHO, a slight drop off in talent and then a bunch, like 6 players, that could all be the fifth best prospect in this draft. Going to have to let the Euro, Chinese and NCAA seasons play out and see how that next group of prospects play and develop.

It seems most of the board is prefering Towns over Turner... I couldnt disagree more.. While I think Turner needs to bulk up Towns has the build that seems portly.. I cant get the Sean May comparisson out of my head...

So head to head I cant find a single aspects that puts Towns over Turner... He is  more athletic, better devensive, shotblocking, shooting, runs the floor..

My top 5
1. Okafor
2. Towns
3. Russell
4. WCS
5. Johnson

I like Mudiay but I think developing two extremely young point guards at the same time could be problematic. I think Russell, could be the go to scorer the C's have been missing for a while.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

I really really like Kelly Oubre. He has a sweet stroke with a very quick high release. Also he is long, 6'7" and explosive. He is basically a more athletic, quicker James Young in my opinion. He isnt a great defender  no, but his long arms and quickness could make him one. I have seen him go anywhere from 21st to 7th in mock drafts. If he ends up in the 10-14 range I would love to try to move up to get him with a second first, and I wouldnt mind taking him with our first first so long as its not top 3
