Meyers Leonard
Most overvalued player in the draft: Meyers Leonard. Most undervalued: Royce White.

NBA scout today on Meyers Leonard: "Can't see a situation where he falls past 14. And actually I don't think he'll be (available) there."

Illinois' Meyers Leonard should be a lottery pick in the NBA Draft. Here are potential landing spots for him. http://t.co/YFxHKmyx

I'm going out on a limb and saying that Meyers Leonard will be the highest drafted player ever from Robinson.

Jared Sullinger
If Jared Sullinger does fall in draft, when I asked him months ago about team he'd like to play for, he said Boston. Celtics pick 21.

Draft gurus making MAJOR ERROR on @Jared_Sully0. #OhioSt if healthy All I hear is what he can't do what about what he CAN do! #WINNER

Draymond Green
Be very cautious in passing up Draymond Green or Jae Crowder because they quote " Don't have a position." Both guys can play

Robbie Hummel
Robbie Hummel: #NBA prep went as well as he could've hoped. 'I fully expect to be drafted. It'd be a disappointment if I didn't.' #purdue

Robbie Hummel almost beat kansas on one knee…why wouldn't you draft a guy that dominated like that

William Buford
William Buford, like Orlando Johnson, looked like a run-of-the-mill second-round two-guard prospect.
— Chris Herrington (@ChrisHerrington) June 18, 2012
RT @NBA_News_24_7: William Buford talks about becoming an NBA player. http://t.co/F6m8QSyv #buckeyes #buckbk
— Bob Baptist (@BBaptist_30_) June 23, 2012
Quote on Buford: "He looked a little heavy at the combine, didn't shoot it real well, so he probably hurt himself…
— Ari Wasserman (@AriWasserman) June 26, 2012
Ohio State's William Buford is working out with the Memphis Grizzlies today. Buford expected to go in the second round of this year's draft.

John Shurna
John Shurna hit 36 of 40 three-pointers in his Bucks workout. How could you not draft him? #Northwestern

— Teddy Greenstein (@TeddyGreenstein) June 26, 2012
John Shurna would make a great second round pick for the Bucks. He has a very Novak-ian game.
