by Leave a Comment

As the NCAA season cruises towards the tournament, the draft picture remains muddled after Joel Embiid at the top. What is clear is that assuming most of the draftworthy players head to the pros, the 2014 draft should be a pretty good one. This class is very deep on the perimeter and should deliver solid prospects deep into round one. 1.       Joel Embiid, C Kansas: Centers who come in as freshmen and put up a .600+ 2PP, double digit R40 and 4.0+ B40 become legendary NBA players as long as … [Read more...] about NBA Draft 2014: Top 60
