Trey Burke, Michigan

I honestly can't believe that Trey Burke's stock is dropping like it is. Just saw ESPN pick both MCW and McCollum over him. Ridiculous.

Jeff Goodman on ESPN Radio – Trey Burke is safest pick in the draft 12 to 15 ppg for ten years – Star in pick & roll game Leader #Agree

It's an insult to hard workers like Burke, McCollum, etc. to pretend Victor Oladipo is the only guy with drive to succeed.

Tim Hardaway Jr., Michigan
Tim Hardaway Jr., meanwhile, seems to be a solid first round pick on just about everyone's board — been a terrific month for him.
— Nick Baumgardner (@nickbaumgardner) June 27, 2013
Knicks targeting Tim Hardaway Jr. because apparently you can never have enough streaky shooters.

More I watch film of all the top picks the better Cody Zeller looks also the better Tim Hardaway Jr looks..be careful passing on these two

Cody Zeller, Jamaal Franklin and Tim Hardaway Jr. will only thrive with certain teams. Need the right situation: http://t.co/IhQD8LqIXs

5 most underrated Not in order Dieng, Hardaway Jr, Zeller, Muhammad and Canaan

Trevor Mbakwe, Minnesota
Somebody is going to draft Trevor Mbakwe in the 2nd round and be very, very pleased. Six draft sleepers: http://t.co/K9eUaHdvUb
— Chris Sheridan (@sheridanhoops) June 27, 2013
Mark this down as steal of the draft: Trevor Mbakwe

Victor Oladipo, Indiana
I know the Cavs aren't taking Victor Oladipo, but I think he's a unique blend of a glue guy with super talent. Think he'll be great.
— Doug Lesmerises (@DougLesmerises) June 27, 2013
Supreme confidence of other lottery teams that Orlando will take Indiana's Victor Oladipo with No. 2 pick. Still, Magic discussing trades.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 27, 2013
One thing everyone in lottery says: No one's readiness for NBA has impressed them more than the IU players – Victor Oladipo and Cody Zeller.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) June 27, 2013
If we hear the #Cavs select SF Otto Porter or SG Victor Oladipo 1st Overall, a deal was struck with either Minnesota or Charlotte.
— Alex Hale (@TheCLESportsGuy) June 27, 2013
I love me some Oladipo but if he gets picked second tonight then someone is making a mistake.
— Seth Davis (@SethDavisHoops) June 27, 2013
Brandon Paul, Illinois
Brandon Paul said he had 16 workouts with NBA teams prior to the draft. "The ball's in their court now."
— Jeremy Werner (@JWerner247) June 27, 2013
Deshaun Thomas, Ohio State
Deshaun Thomas has a good chance to extend the nation?s longest NBA draft streak: http://t.co/ldg9s4aqlx
— Jeff Eisenberg (@JeffEisenberg) June 25, 2013
Looking at an NBA mock and SMH that Deshaun Thomas left early to be a 2nd-rounder in a weak draft. Still, worked out for Michael Redd et al.
— Jeff Rapp (@RappUp) June 26, 2013
Good luck to Deshaun Thomas. Mock drafts are all over the place. From a late 1st round guess to 2nd to undrafted. Hope it works out for him
— Matt McCoy (@MattMcCoyRadio) June 27, 2013
Christian Watford, Indiana
https://twitter.com/rickbozich/status/350281003589320705
Samford's Bennie Seltzer hopeful Christian Watford will get drafted. Seltzer recruited Watford to Indiana. #NBADraft http://t.co/i4lEjOjP1n

Cody Zeller, Indiana
People who think Cody Zeller is soft have zero clue. Kid is relentless. Not natural finisher at rim, but will be fine face-up PF.
— Michael DeCourcy (@tsnmike) June 27, 2013
Cody Zeller in strong consideration for Charlotte (4), Phoenix (5), sources say. If McCollum goes 6 or 7, Detroit has Zeller high on board.

Sources seem convinced Cody Zeller had a solid chance to go 4 (Charlotte), 5 (Phoenix) or 8 (Detroit).
