Top 5 BIGS in the 2013 NBA Draft in order...
1. Nerlens Noel (pictured left) #WeRUK #UK...Ok he is not a 7-footer but his physical attributes says he plays like a 7-footer. A 7'4" Wingspan after measuring at 6-10 at the Chicago NBA Combine. He is a athletic running freak who is NBA-Ready defensively because of his ability to block then Orange. He runs like a Cheetah from end to end but very raw Offensively. Cleveland Cavaliers will pass on him but there are more than a few teams looking at Nerlens as their prize catch in 2K13. He reminds me of a young Kevin Garnett on Defense in the paint only. KG could cover everything on the floor but the Zebras when he came into the league believe it. Due to Noel's Knee Injury he is looking like a January 2K14 debut. 2. Alex Len #FightingTERPS...say what you want he is 7-1 and just north of 250 el bees and has an back to the basket game. He is a mix of current Jazz Big Enes Kanter and current Magic Big Nikola Vucevic and Len is bigger than both. He is a Plug n Play Big as he could come right in and start for a Lottery Team like the Bobcats. From the Ukraine Len has a 7-4 wingspan to go along with his 7-1 and 250 plus frame. Which means he is big and watching him play he plays big and that is very important. We have enough 7-footers in the league playing small. (Sixers Spence "Boss" Hawes).
3. Mason Plumlee (pictured right #5) #CameronKraziesU....They don't get any more athletic than Plumlee and around the rim he plays above the rim with that 36" plus "Taking the Elevator". At a legit 7-feet tall and just under 240 el bees Plumlee to me is more of a PF. He would be an excellent pick and roll defender as well as in the pick and roll because of the athleticism. He reminds me of a bigger David Lee and he could get to that level only problem is he is already 23 years of age.
4. Gorgui Deng #TheVille...Rick Pitino's Project has turned into a mini Deke Mutumbo. Measuring at just under 7 feet and around 230 el bees but has a wingspan of 7'4" and that helps him get to a lot of Oranges in the paint and around the rim. He reminds me of a smaller Dikembe Mutumbo of Hoya Paranoia and the positive in this he comes from the Louisville Cardinals and Lead Man Rick Pitino which means he has a work ethic and a motor.
5. Steven Adams #PittPanthers...out of nowhere Adams came onto the scene and played extremely well in the Big East as a freshman. A legit 7-footer with a 7-4 wingspan serves him well. Above Average Athleticism and a pretty nice Offensive Game with a back to the basket and face up. Jump Hooks. Mid-Range, and can get you off the bounce from the FT Line and in. He may be the #1 player to move up into Lottery Status before the Draft. Adams reminds me of a little of current Mavs Big Chris Kaman.
