The NBA drafts off of potential, so some of those guys who could be first round picks might not do well immediately. Archie Goodwin was a first round pick but an awful college basketball player.

Yeah Archie was terrible last season and ended up getting drafted in the first round. He then proceeded to be a beast in the summer league and will probably get significant PT for the Suns, go figure.

Marcus Lee would probably be a first round pick if he decided to leave after his freshman season, but I doubt he does all that much next season.

Kind of my point. The potential is there for a lot of these guys.

I think Marcus Lee, James Young, and Dakari Johnson are all guys who could go 1st round based on potential, but may need an extra year to lock it down.

The Harrison twins, WCS, Poythress, and Randle are all easily 1st round guys.

I think Poythress could go either way, but the other four will easily go first round.

Randle is a beast.

My point was that some of this potential won't necessarily show on the court this season, and also that a veteran who won't make the NBA can be more valuable than a freshman who has a higher ceiling. Will Yeguete more than likely will be playing in France professionally, but he's a fantastic college role player.
