Andrew should be fine but Aaron may have to work his way to the NBA but still could have a good career abroad. They both are intelligent young men and will do well in life.

Cal is wrong about his players being drafted higher than what people think. He has blue glasses like the rest of us and he wants them all to do well just like us. But I just don't think they will do as well as he thinks, except for Karl. I do think Karl will go #1 because Okafor has made it known he doesn't want to play for MN. Willie is dropping down in the standings mainly because of his disappearing offense. He plays in streaks as we saw in the tourney. Trey and Devin could go anywhere from 8-20. Dakari could slip to the 2md round because of his jumping ability. I still think Andrew drops to the middle of the 2nd round and Aaron...........sorry.

I always thought that Towns, Booker, and Lyles would go early to mid first round. I just don't see WCS being worth a high pick. He can play defense on all 5 positions in college, but the NBA is different. I think he can have a decent career in the NBA, but not an all-star career. I can see him being a decent role player who can bring some energy and protect the rim in spurts. Dakari and Andrew I definitely see as a 2nd round pick if that. Aaron I think is out of luck as far as the NBA goes. It's a shame Dakari and the twins didn't return.

Everything I read and hear is that towns goes #1 period. Does not matter where Okafor wants to play. From what I hear/read is that Okafor might not even goe #2 to LA. Not sure that I believe that. Other than that, I pretty much agree with Bama's assessment.

Trey and Devin both could be lottery picks based on team needs. I sure wouldn't count them out yet and WCS has a "outside chance" but read where he may have some medical issues and it could affect his draft status.

Willie Cauley-Stein's "background and medical history" could cause him to fall in Thursday's NBA Draft, according to a report from Draft Express.

Cauley-Stein, the 7-foot center from Kentucky who's tantalizing athleticism has some envisioning him as a future defensive star, was projected just a few weeks ago as going as high as No. 4 to the Knicks. But health issues are aways a concern when it comes to big men and it appears that some of the teams picking towards the top of the draft are being scared off by something in the 21-year-old Cauley-Stein's background, per Draft Express.

The concern stems over a foot injury that caused Cauley-Stein to miss the 2014 NCAA Tournament. Some doctors are concern with the way the injury has healed. DraftExpress reports Cauley-Stein's foot has some "maintenance that needs to be done," according to some team physicians.

KAT was no surprise as the number one pick. WCS did real well in the draft and wouldn't be surprised if he didn't get a lot of minutes with the Kings especially if Cousins gets traded in the off-season. Trey and Devin really came trough and was glad to see both of them as lottery picks but wasn't one bit surprised. Andrew will have his shot as a second round pick and believe he will compete for a roster spot with the Suns. Dakari wasn't far behind Andrew in the second round. Dakari with his size and rebounding ability will get his chance to show what he can do and wouldn't be surprised if he didn't make the Thunders squad at some point in the season. Aaron will have his shot with the Hornets in the summer league. He is a tough kid and will do well this summer vying for a roster spot or playing professional basketball somewhere.

Booker to the Suns was a brilliant draft. BTW, the Suns already traded Andrew to the Grizzlies. Not familiar enough with them to know if that is a good thing or not.
