Also, who the **** is Gary Harris? Just saw Chad Ford moved him into his Top 10 for 2013 draft.
Most definitely true. I think he is usually relatively honest in his write-ups though. I don't think he over hypes anyone in terms of their skills, maybe just in their draft projection. Though I'm pretty sure DX has the most accurate lottery projections year in and year out, no?

This. I also am careful with Givony on euros. He prides himself on scouting more/knowing more than anyone else and I see him inflate guys (probably unintentionally). I think his ego, to a degree, makes him want to 'discover' these guys.. know what I mean?

A three-point shooting, 6'4 shooting guard from Michigan St. another player Chad Ford is overhyping.
Yeah, it's really tough to project these mid-major PG's who dominate the ball and have success. It's easy to get caught up in what he does well in college, but what will happen when he has a 24 seconds shot clock and he can't spend 25 seconds per possessions running consecutive pick n' rolls?
Yeah, but I remember Ford did the same thing last year with Waiters and he ended up getting drafted really high.
But only AFTER it had leaked that Dion had a guarantee.
DX 2011 Mock Draft the day before the draft had Travis Lesie in the first-round(went 47th), Biyombo in the top-five, and Davis Bertans in the first-round (went 42nd) so he definitely overrates European's in his draft projections (Biyombo, Bertans).
Biyombo went 7th, so he was pretty close there.
How ironic that Travis Leslie was a first-round projection by DX, but got drafted 47th and he is on the Jazz now.
Lets create an entire team of 47's
Travis Leslie, Tiny Gallon, Bill Walker, Paul Millsap, Mo Williams, Todd MacCulloch, Tyson Wheeler, Tyus Edney, Vernon Maxwell, Gerald Wilkins, Kevin Murphy, and Dominic McGuire.
Just made this on Microsoft Spreadsheet, comparison of Jimmer Fredette and Nate Wolters in their senior year respectively:
