    NBA Draft '11

    1) Jared Sullinger, Ohio State F
    2) Perry Jones, Baylor F
    3) Tristan Thompson, Texas F
    4) John Henson, North Carolina F
    I don't think any of them will declare. The threat of the lockout is too much.

    The two most realistic prospects to watch before the deadline are Klay Thompson and Alec Burks. Both are 1st round talents in my opinions with Burks being a fringe lottery pick.

        the Heat need to draft a big guy who can actually get it done on the boards. my dream situation is Faried slipping to them at 31.

          No chance there. It's actually a pretty weak big man draft this year.

            same thing i was thinking while looking at the prospects. theres no true PG either, so it looks like the Heat will just be getting a bench shooter.

              It's all combo guards and finesse forwards in this draft

                as a whole no true PG?

                If Brandon Knight decides to go, there is your true PG

                  Except he's not really a PG. He's more of a Ben Gordon or Monta Ellis kind of player.

                    Nah, I wouldn't say that the kid can do just about everything plus he is brilliant. He gave Kentucky exactly what Wall did but more in the shooting department and less in speed, but he can still get down the floor when he wants to.

                      I was talking about Kemba Walker. Brandon Knight is the real deal. I like him even more than Kyrie Irving.

                      If I want a true PG though I'm waiting until 2012.

                        Where do you guys think Kemba will be drafted to? He's the only player I'm really interested in this year.

                          He's a mid/late lottery pick so it's hard to tell right now until the lotto is set. I could see him in Utah to provide offense they lost when they traded Deron Williams

                            i meant theres no true PG where Miami is picking at 31. if the Heat could actually get Knight i would be ecstatic but thats obviously not happening.

                              Don't they have Devin Harris?

                              I looked, seems like he's falling to 14. I wouldn't mind the Knicks trading their 17 and something small to trade up to land him.
