So I'm looking at this mock NBA Draft

**No coincidences** · 03-25-14, 11:28 PM

This one has Keith Appling going 56th, but Kane only 60th.

Am I missing something? What does Kane not have? I'd definitely take him in the first round if I'm an NBA team. I know he's older, but a physical 6-5 guard who's a 40% three-point shooter? Sign me up.

he looked like lebron jr versus UNC

I don't know what skills "translate" to the NBA anymore. Maybe that's why this league has become such dogshit.

I don't either. Kane seems like everything you'd want in a PG at that level, yet he's listed behind a bunch of scrubs and kids who haven't proven anything on both of these boards.

He has tweener size. He's basically Wade's size without the quickness and explosiveness that Wade had in his prime but Kane is stronger. He also doesn't have the best jumpshot but I wouldn't say he's a bad shooter. Also, he's just shy of 25.

I'm not saying he's a future NBA All-Star, but he's a hell of a lot better than about 80% of the guys who will be picked ahead of him on draft day. I personally think he should be a borderline lottery prospect.

A 6-4 point guard who's built like a rock should be on someone's radar.

All about potential Cameron Bairstow is the best player in the country and probably goes undrafted because he is almost 24

**rm18** · 03-26-14, 12:43 AM

Keith Appling has no shot to play in the NBa though dont know how he is on the radar still

Agree. Craft and Appling will never see a single second of NBA action.

So is Kane. Who cares?

**Jayvegas420** · 03-26-14, 02:15 AM

Was Wiggins picked #1 in this mock draft?

**Cuse0323** · 03-26-14, 02:17 AM

NBA is screwy, 75% of these picks don't seem to work out so might as well take the young guys. I guess that's how they look at it. Would take Kane over my man Ennis right now but that 5 year difference is the issue.

**farmhouse1** · 03-26-14, 02:36 AM

Ennis to small. Craft will never play in the nba honestly I can't see it

Yep, Craft is worthless in the NBA, Chris Quinn made it but he could shoot. Craft brings nothing to the table really.

**jtoler** · 03-26-14, 02:59 AM

They are all different from site to site, I use to look at them a while back, its just their guesses and they have no clue really who a team will select. No doubt it will be shuffled up quite a bit right before draft day also.

**GiveMeaBJ** · 03-26-14, 03:37 AM

Stauskas in the first round? I can't see him hanging in the big boys league.

Are you serious? A white boy the best player in the country?? Gotta be fukkin kiddin me. He would get eaten alive in the Association.

**jtoler** · 03-26-14, 03:50 AM

Cant believe Bairstow's name is brought up, but to each his own.

**jjgold** · 03-26-14, 06:08 AM

very hard to say who will be good or not in the pros anymore, half of the time these top picks are flops ion the nba

What about him?

**Ratpack** · 03-26-14, 06:38 AM

Yeah stautkas will be a 1st rounder he could thank his former teammate Tim hardaway Jr for that basically he is a better shooter but not as athletic as hardaway and looked how he is doing in the nba and he was a mid 1st rounder

**jjgold** · 03-26-14, 06:40 AM

Michigan lost to effective first year nba players and they're better than last year go figure

**GiveMeaBJ** · 03-26-14, 06:45 AM

Stauskas didn't have a clue how to do anything other then shoot a year ago. His game has involved but he takes too many bad shots.

Was just saying, how's that guy still in the league.
If Stauskas makes the draft (which he should) I could see him strictly sticking around as a 6-6 SG...Although he would get abused by 98% of SG's in the league. But Buddinger isn't a lock down defender or anything and he's still in he league. Stauskas is only 20 years old, can still learn to do things.

I guess they have similarities. But, after watching Budinger in college and Stauskas I don't think it's close who the better player is.

What. The. f\*\*k.

They have the Bobcats projected to take Doug McDermit?????

why the hell do the Bobcats keep drafting white players ?

They all turn out to be bust.

1st Adam Morrison -Bust
2nd Cody Zeller- Bust
3rd- Doug McDermit- def a bust

**jjgold** · 03-26-14, 07:15 AM

White guys usually busts in nba

NBA different than college so hard to compare.

**Chi_archie** · 03-26-14, 07:30 AM

Rodney Hood and Kyle Anderson to the Bulls in the first round sounds very delicious

**ChalkyDog** · 03-26-14, 07:30 AM

Is he a true PG? Combo PG's are a dime a dozen in the NBA.

I don't like either of those to the Bulls. Neither of those guys play defense. Hood might have tried a few times this year. Kyle - nope. Not once. He had never, at any point in his life, attempted to lock his man up.

Anderson also seriously thinks he's Magic reincarnate.

The Bulls scouts look for very specific talent, and neither of these guys are on their radar. I almost guarantee it.

McBuckets wont be a bust. The other two seemed rather obvious. Morrison projected to be nothing more than a role player at best. Zeller? C'mon.

Let's hear some names in that 15-20 range.

**Chi_archie** · 03-26-14, 07:36 AM

the Bulls scouts that wanted and got guys like Kyle Korver?
