Following potential 2013 draftees

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?

That's a fact.

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?

Indeed. Jonas was his biggest pet, had him mocked at 2 and 3 for nearly a year and did two akward interviews with him even though he couldn't speak a lick if English.

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?

I will say that if you're going to have a ball-dominant player playing against poor competition, it's easier to read into their success when they're PGs as that is basically the job of a PG. Omar Samhan on the other hand is a different story.

I think Wolters is definitely intriguing and worth a hard look in the second round. But no way do you spend a mid-first in an open-field draft on him.
 
DX 2011 Mock Draft the day before the draft had Travis Lesie in the first-round(went 47th), Biyombo in the top-five(went 7th), and Davis Bertans in the first-round(went 42nd) so he definitely overrates European's in his draft projections a little (Biyombo, Bertans).

Biyombo went 7th, so he was pretty close there.
 
wow I miss a day and I had to read 10 pages of drivel to get caught up.

wolters but going to be tough unless the jazz get a late first to draft him. wouldn't complain if the jazz draft a euro and stashed them and then get a late first to get wolters.

draft wcs, saric and wolters.

I am still on the Burke band wagon but if he is not there I like wolters over McW.

not sure where I put bongo. need to watch more vids.

not a lot of 3s that I am getting excited about in this draft. porter is first but he will be gone. saric is a stretch 4 in my opinion.

rumor has it the jazz are trying to get another 1st in 2014. I would be down with that.
