Overrated? He will be close to a top 10 pick in the draft.

A lot of folks thought he was overrated compared to the hype he received. Like robot said, I think it'll be addition by subtraction for UCLA.

Anyone know how good Wichita should be next year?

Considering the ridiculous hype he got, absolutely. People were talking about him like he was the next LeBron. His outside shot is just OK, he isn't a gifted passer, and he has a reputation for being lazy on defense. He's basically just an undersized NBA 3.

Not to mention the fact that it turns out he was 20 fricking years old and lied about his age to UCLA, so he was the age of your typical college sophomore, not a freshman.

UCLA is going to be better than they were last year. They have a ton of talent and Alford is a very good coach. I don't think Howland really deserved to be fired, but it might have been a good call. Their program was getting a bit stale.

They lose Armstead and Hall, so that's a huge hit. I'm sure they will be a good team with Marshall still in charge, but not as good as last season.

Yeah, there are never busts in the lottery of the NBA draft.
