I confess that I haven't followed NCAA BB this season except for some March Tournament games.

But, after...
Greg Oden
Kevin Durant
Brandan Wright
Al Horford
Roy Hibbert
Corey Brewer
Yi Jianlian
Mike Conley
Spencer Hawes
Acie Law
Al Thornton
Jeff Green
Nick Young...

who is really better than anyone in last year's draft after the 13th pick? Noah? Naaaah...now maybe Budinger

Here is DraftExpress' latest mock:

1 Grizzlies Greg Oden - Gasol/Oden would be awesome
2 Celtics Kevin Durant - I hope he stays in school to screw them
3 Bucks Brandan Wright - too skinny - stay in school please
4 Suns Al Horford - if he ends up in Phoenix
5 Bobcats Roy Hibbert - this could move Okafor to PF
6 76ers Joakim Noah - overrated
7 Trailblazers Corey Brewer - I don't see him going here
8 SuperSonics Yi Jianlian - nice prospect for them to pair with Shard
9 Kings Mike Conley Jr - Mike Bibby's replacement?
10 Timberwolves Spencer Hawes - will this make KG... stay?
11 Bulls Tiago Splitter - can learn from PJ Brown with no pressure expectations
12 Hawks Acie Law - I'm not sold on this guy
13 Hornets Al Thornton --

BTW they have us drafting Jason Smith at #19 out of Colorado. Who is this cat?

If the top 3 come out this year, then it will be a top heavy draft, but fades quickly. The 05 draft had good players well into the second round but not as top heavy.

Jason Smith? You've got me. About all he has going for him is Chauncey Billups played in the same gym as he...and they're called the Golden Buffs. I'm having a hard time with this question.

I don't know about no. 9 as well, but he's lotto pick, IMO, due to his tournament play, and who else is there at his position other than Law? Maybe Collison.

Even if Oden goes though, people are saying Conley stays in school.
