They also have Aaron Gordon falling to #12.Eddie20,Yes, their projected draft order is marginal, but their rankings of the players is spot on in my humble opinion!!!! Check it out and please tell me which player they are far off on!!Smitty77

I can't access nbadraft.net at work, but I will try find some hilarious examples when I get home. they are also notorious for always comparing white prospects to white pros, black prospects to black pros, etc. Which has always been a pet peeve of mine.
If NC State had not just barely squeezed into the NCAA tournament on the bubble, would people have held it as a mark against Warren that he couldn't carry a team into March Madness?
I don't know what to make of Warren, even though I made it a point to watch him. Like others have said/alluded at, he's athletic and crafty as a scorer, but he doesn't have range yet. And the NBA is littered with combo forwards who were crafty and athletic in college but who we're missing a 3pt shot from being an impact or even complete player. Trying to think of the last forward who couldn't shoot a 3 but was super gifted at scoring under the arc, and I'm coming up with Corey Maggette. I don't want to draft Corey Maggette.
Truth. It's like all white players have 'good motor' 'high basketball IQ' and 'athleticism issues'. They're all also from 'white person town' where all their dads are coaches and all their mothers make great pot roasts and are locked in loveless marriages.
