Our very own Andre Roberson.

Great read on him there, but my favorite part is at the end:

There is little doubt, then, that Andre Roberson is an excellent NBA prospect. When contemplating an NBA comparison, players as diverse as Shawn Marion, Kawhi Leonard, and Kenneth Faried come to mind, showing just how many different directions his development could take him and just how good he could be. He already possesses ideal size and athleticism for the NBA wing position along with excellent defensive potential and intangibles. Scouts will be watching him closely this year to see whether he can emerge as a comfortable, consistent, and prolific perimeter shooter. His NBA future is bright, regardless of his offensive development, but if he continues to improve as a scorer, then he has the chance to be a very special player at the next level.

i am not sure what is says about the Pac12 that Josh Smith is #2 on this list. Either A) the pac12 lacks top end talent or B) draft express refuses to give up hope on Josh Smith. Personally I am going with B. The guy can't even crack the starting lineup. I would pick Crabbe, Wilcox, Collier, Motum and Randle (among others) ahead of Smith.

I remember J. Smith freshmen year when Draft Express had him as a first round pick. He may never make it down the court much less into an NBA locker room.
 
Problem will always be with the NBA, they value potential over impact too much. I guarantee there's numerous NBA GM's out there right now thinking "You know, if we can just get Smith in to our training program, he'll put up 20 & 10".

Insert Kiki vandeweghe joke - Skita doesn't need to work out against NBA or NCAA players, he looked GREAT against our assistant coaches in drills.....
 
funny seeing Mike Moser at #6 on that CBS list. When they played head to head:

Dre: 12 points, 16 boards
Mosher: 10 points, 9 boards

I love that game with all my heart. Did we get a post season DVD yet?
 
Not sure what their definition of "bright" is in terms of NBA, but there needs to be improvement on offense (as we've so often debated)
