THE MORNING BREW Ranking the NBA Draft's top prospects
While Kansas students and alumni are wishing Thomas Robinson well, NBA executives have drool hanging from their mouths.
Robinson is considered one of the NBA's top prospects, but he is not considered the best. Here are my top five players for this year's NBA Draft who will have fan bases clamoring for their services next season:
1. ANTHONY DAVIS, KENTUCKY
Everyone in Lawrence knows why Davis is the top selection. Davis absolutely controlled the championship game against the Jayhawks, and he only scored 14 points. Along with his seven blocks, Kansas players were often tentative to drive into the paint, knowing Davis was guarding the rim.
Davis has length, size and speed. He's smooth with the ball and he has a soft jump shot that tantalizes his opponents. The knock on Davis is that he's a bit young and his arms don't have the muscles that NBA players often carry. But that will come with time, and NBA
Scouts believe that.
2. MICHAEL KIDD-GILCHRIST,
KENTUCKY
Yes, two Wildcats top the list.
Kidd-Gilchristis a6-foot-7,232-pound forward who can do a bit of everything. The freshman has a load of athleticism that makes him nearly impossible to stop in transition or driving to the basket.
Two of his biggest games this season came in the NCAA tournament. He scored 24 points against Indiana and 19 against Baylor to help send Kentucky to the Final Four.
3. THOMAS ROBINSON, KANSAS
Robinson falls just behind Davis and Gilchrist in the potential department, as Kansas' big man won't seem quite as large in the NBA.
Robinson could push his opponents around in college, but the story will be different in Robinson's next game. To his credit, Robinson does carry a stunningly fast first step, that he often used to blow by his opponents.
If Robinson can work on finishing around the rim; look for a long and successful NBA career for the All-American from Kansas.
4. ANDRE DRUMMOND, CONNECTICUT
Drummond is a puzzling case here. His potential is as high as any player on this list, but his numbers didn't always back it up last season.
It often takes more time for big men to develop than it does for guards, and the 6-foot-10, 251-pound Drummond is no exception. He's mobile and has an
NBA-ready body, but with teams looking for immediate help. Robinson is a better choice.
5. HARRISON BARNES,
NORTH CAROLINA
A lot of people may put a guy like Bradley Beal from Florida here, but Barnes has shown flashes of greatness throughout his two years at North Carolina that land him in the top five.
His stock will be hurt by an under whelming tournament performance, but Barnes' smooth game passes the eye test, as he could become the next great player in the NBA form North Carolina.
When Barnes becomes a full-time basketball player, which he soon will be, look for his consistency to improve, as he has the potential to be a stud at the next level.
