If he is a lock to go in the first round, I would go as well. My point is, I don't see him as a first round lock and I doubt many of the scouts do as well. Most of the hype is coming from the press about Plaisted not from anybody that really is in the know. I just don't want Plaisted taking the bad advice which is out there and thinking that he is better than he is. He still has some serious growth but people in and around Provo don't see it.
Hansbrough might not even be a 1st round pick and that guy is an all american. He will not be able to do anything in the NBA because he doesn't have the mid range game and doesn't play long the post. There is a reason why he hasn't left early because in today's NBA, teams draft based on upside, see the influx of crappy Europeans that were supposedly great but can't handle the physicality of the NBA. What about Tyrus Thomas? Dude can leap out of the gym but has no offensive game.
