here are my NBA comparisons for this next rookie class coming in, tell me what u think?
its just my thoughts on it, I pride myself on being unbiased and having pretty good basketball knowledge, me playing college ball myself, anyways let me know what u think? I dont like to make nba superstar comparisons cuz thats kinda over reaching
1. Nerlens Noel-Marcus Camby/ Larry Sanders
2. Victor Oladipo- Tony Allen
3. Otto Porter- Tayshaun Prince
4. Ben McLemore- Brad Beal
5. Anthony Bennet- Derick Williams
6. Trey Burke- Kemba Walker
7. Miachael Carter Williams- Shaun Livingston
8. Cody Zeller- Tyson Chandler
9. CJ McCollum-Jarret Jack
10. Alex Len- Meyers Leornard
11. Shabaaz Muhammed- Caron Butler
12. Mason Plumlee- Jordan Hill
13. Shane Larkin- DJ Augustine
14. Tim Hardaway Jr- Demar Derozen (Hardaway is my sleeper for the draft)
In my opinion the only guys who I think can become multiple time All Stars are Oladipo and Muhammed. McLemore to me is a pure shooter, but pure shooters dont necessarily score a ton of points, to be an elite scorer u HAVE to get to the foul line and be able to draw fouls. Ray Allen did that, Reggie Miller did not which is why Reggie was never a big time time scorer, also Oladipo has great defensive ability
@Hi- Trey BurkeIverson, really?? Iverson was absolutely amazing from college to his last couple years in the NBA, thats is waay off
Cody Zeller- Blake Griffin? just cuz he tested well at the combine doesnt mean he has that explosiveness during games, Blake was explosive at Oklahoma as well so there is a major difference, plus Zeller doesnt have the motor like Blake
Shabaaz as Harden? Harden gets other players involved consistently, Shabaaz had 27 assists in 31 games this season.

Who should the Cleveland Cavaliers select for 1st pick?
There are many options on this one! You can get Nerlens Noel, Ben Maclemore, Trey Burke, Victor Oladipo, Cody Zeller, Otto Porter, and etc. Who do you think Cleveland should get? What position does Cleveland need to improve on? They got good guards, and then they have Thompson and Varejao who are good big man, so who does Cleveland need at this situation that could turn them into a great team?
Answer: I feel like Nerlens is going to be number one overall no matter who has the pick. I think Porter is the best fit for Cleveland, but with the first pick they can't reach down for Porter

Answer: To be great,they should pick the injured Noel..
He wont be able to play until at least late December,which is good.Because they need to suck 1 more year,and try for 1 more top draft pick NEXT year when there will be better talent at the top of the draft.

NBA Draft 2013: Orlando Magic select Victor Oladipo with No. 2 pick ...
Despite Nerlens Noel still being on the board at No. 2, the Magic selected Indiana's Victor Oladipo.
What will the cavs do with the 1st pick?
The wanted noel the changed to McLemore and now they are looking at Otto porter and victor oladipo. What do you think the cavs will do? I will give my thoughts when I choose the best answer.
Answer: Personally, I think they should pick Nerlens Noel Or Victor Oladipo . The reason why I think they should pick Nerlens is because they need more of a shot blocking presence in the paint ... Honestly, I have no idea how Nerlens will develop in the league, especially after he fills out .
Right now he weighs a mere 211 pounds the last time i checked, which will not hold up well in the NBA . Maybe have Nerlens play 28-32 min and have Varejao play the rest... I have the ut-most respect for Varejao, But he is just not a defensive presnce . Kinda like a poor mans Chris Anderson .
My reason why I think they should pick Oladipo is because Victor is a LOCK DOWN defender . Just look at the tape at Indiana . They could use him, especially at the 3 to stop some of the East's slashy 2s and 3s . Besides, do you really want Alonzo Gee starting at the SF spot ? The only downside to Oladipo is his outside shooting . Sure they have Kyrie to balance this out, because Oladipo and Waiters play the same type of offensive style .
Out of the "Top 5" in this draft, I really think Oladipo has the most upside . Potentially a Dwayne Wade type of player . I think the top five on Chad Ford's list this year goes
1. Nerlens Noel
2. Ben Mclemore
3. Otto Porter
4. Trey Burke
5. Victor Oladipo
I'm not sure, but I think that's what it is .
Good Luck with your Cavs, even though the real jackpot is the 2014 draft ! The 2013 draft is below standards by a lot of experts .

Do you think that Shane Larkin would get shutdown by Victor Oladipo?
I feel like these two players are going to have to be the driving force for there teams in order to make the final four. Though I cant decide who would win in a 1 on 1 game.
Answer: Not the whole game. Larkin is good in the pick and roll game and can use his quickness to get to the rim or shoot the jumper. Oladipo wouldn't be able to contain him the whole game and I doubt hell even be sticking him for long periods of time

here is how id do the 2013 NBA draft, how is it? how would you do it?
1.Magic-Ben Mclemore Although many believe Nerlens Noel is locked at 1 , i dont believe thats the way to go. the magic need offense , defense helps a lot , but in the end , they need offense , and nerlens noel just cant give you that. Ben Mclemore is a solid all around player and would be a good fit in orlando.
2. Bobcats-Anthony Bennett Same story here , the bobcats need offense , and Noel just cant give you that. Anthony Bennett is a good all around forward , He reminds me of zach randolph with an added jumper. Has major potential if he can stay healthy.
3.Cavaliers-Nerlens Noel The cavaliers have a relatively good offense , and while i think there are more talented players available in burke and oladipo , Kyrie and Dion are good enough for now , and i think Noel would be a great fit in Cleveland.
4. Suns-Trey Burke In the absence of Steve Nash , the suns need a point gaurd , trey burke would be perfect for them. A good explosive point gaurd who can play the 2 , he reminds me so much of allen iverson.
5. Sixers ( via pelicans ) - Victor Oladipo This guy might just be the future of the NBA. as a sixers fan , i desperately hope the sixers trade up for him. An explosive , high flier , and one of the fastest on the court , Oladipo would fit right in with the young sixers.
6. Kings- Michael Carter Williams This guy could seriously play the 1 2 or 3 . A very versatile player , and at 66 will be one of the biggest of his position. I think he has lots of potential , and might be just what the kings are looking for , as they now have an under 60 PG starting.
7. Pistons- Otto Porter Otto Porter is a great all around player. from the paint or from beyond the arch , he can hurt the opponent. He reminds me of andre igoudala , or a poor mans Lebron.
8. Wizards- Cody Zeller A very athletic center , which he stated with his 35.5 inch vertical , with his speed , and the stregnth he has added , he could help the wizards a lot.
9.Timberwolves Cj Mccolum A true scorer , he could be a future elite shooting gaurd , although he is a bit undersized for his position , i believe he can excel with his speed , and great shooting abilities.
10. Trailblazers- Alex Len although i havent seen him play much , alex len seems like a solid defensive and offensive player, and could start center for the trailblazers. Im sure him and Aldrige will be a great front court.
11.Pelicans ( via Sixers ) - Shubazz Muhammad an athletic , although undersized - small forward. On a normal night he can get you 20 easily , and with his stregnth and athleticism could be one of the new highlight films in the NBA
12: Thunder- Mason Plumlee This only makes sense. If the thunder could get rid of Perkins , a younger , and more athletic plumlee could be the answer.
Trades:
76ers recieve: #5 pick , 2014 1st round pick
Pelicans recieve: Evan Turner , Jason Richardson , #11 pick
So what do you think of mine? how would you grade it from 1-10? how would you do yours?

Out of the sure bets to go in the top 5, for the most part, theres
Nerlens Noel
ben mclemore
otto porter jr.
victor oladipo
trey burke, anthony bennett, and possibly alex len
