I don't understand how people think Plaisted will be a lottery pick in the NBA. At this point in his college career he isn't no Araujo and we know how he did in the NBA. Now don't get me wrong, I do think Plaisted is a great college player but he is not NBA material. His game is more adept to European ball than NBA ball.

For NBA scouts to really drool over Plaisted, they would need to see him be able to take it out 15 feet and hit that shot on a consistant basis. I don't think Plaisted has that kind of range, and if he does he hasn't shown it yet. If he were to leave for the NBA after this year he would be a 2nd round pick... maybe.

He needs to work on his outside game to compliment his inside game because he will need both in the NBA.
