I will put real money on Love not going in the top 5...I would almost think about putting money on him not going in the top 10...I am not saying Love is not good, and a great college player, but his game just doesn't translate that well to the NBA level...Even if he played here...His body type reminds me of Terance Dials, and honestly Love is who I compared Jared Sullinger's game to yesterday and that is not a slight toward Sullinger, but I just don't think that game translates very well to the NBA...They just are a little slow a foot and undersized in terms of being able to get their shots off...
Also Joe Alexander from WVU has declared for the draft along with Mayo...

If he stays in the draft, he will be top 10. He will get drafted ahead of any non-freshman forward or foreigner.

Who's calling him a superstar? |

Here is how I see it...
Beasley/Rose - 1/2...Whatever order you like...
Lopez, Mayo, Gordon, Bayless are the next 4...
Big guys that could go ahead of him are Deandre Jordon, Javale McGee, the other Lopez,
Then you have Randolph, Westbrook, as guys that will go ahead of him...Then you have Batum and Gallanari as foreigners that will go ahead of him...
NBAdraft.net has him at 13 right now...draftexpress has him at 8...mynbadraft has him at 9...insidehoops has him at 7...So you have an average of 9 which puts him in the top 10, but with the camps and what not I think that his game will hold him back and he will drop out of the top 10... |

Count me in the camp that thinks Gordon will be a total bust in the NBA. The last thing NBA teams need are undersized guards who go 5-17 from the field every night.

I guess we'll see in June. Beasley and Rose are clearly number 1 and 2. After that, its wide open. Depending on a teams need, I can definitely see him going to someone in top 10. |
