Following potential 2013 draftees

There's a barrage of twitter feed right now panning Smart's (not so smart) Decision:

Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA 3m
Whoa. Big mistake. RT @WojYahooNBA Marcus Smart will return for his sophomore season. He could've been a top 5 pick in NBA Draft.

Kevin Pelton ‏@kpelton 11m
Wow. Stunned Marcus Smart staying at OK State, via @WojYahooNBA. Rarely see that decision aside from the lockout.

If Woj report is true, first players since Blake Griffin to turn down a Top 3 pick to return to school ...

As long as he makes marginal improvements I don't see him falling out of the lottery. Next year's draft is still light on PG's and I see Smart dominating next year. He has good character and I think he is known as a worker.

Ho-leee ****. Cy, bro.. grab a calc.

Top 5 pick to 'likely late lottery'.. less one year of earnings......

Not really. Great year? Leads OSU to Final 4? Still Top 3 RT @Jon_Dove42: doesn't he risk dropping w/ projected talent in nxt years class?

WTF!! OSU to Final 4 next year? What's the odds for that?

I will go out on an early limb... Smart will go from top 3 to mid first.

I think that's a pretty safe prediction.

Scouts/teams were willing to overlook his lack of shooting & high TO's this year because it's a weak draft.

However, if he struggled again next year, I think mid-first is the best he could hope for.

The draft next year isn't that deep at all IMO. Yes, it has a lot of super stars, but I don't see it as a specially deep draft. I don't see Smart falling past late lottery. The guy will come out and be a better player. He isn't Terrance Jones.

*Terrence

Because you 'don't see' it being deep??? How about you, like every other wannabe, wait for the gurus to tell you the players are that make the depth. Otherwise, please tell me about the HSrs you've watched and why you think they're not as good in the late round...
 
Smart returning is good for Wolters and Kabongo I would think, because that's one less available point guard ahead of them meaning teams that want or need one would be more willing to take a risk on them late in the first-round.
