Nice work once again bama - hopefully Crowder falls into the category of sleepers this guy has picked in the past like Malik Rose, Eddie House, Carlos Boozer, Kyle Korver, Paul Millsap, and DeJuan Blair.  He also had Durant over Oden by a pretty wide margin, and had Jeremy Lin at #10 in the 2010 draft.  Hope Crowder can prove him right like those other cases.

Interesting that his ranking system hates Austin Rivers, Drummond, Harrison Barnes, and Meyers Leonard, all projected lottery picks that he has ranked #62, 67, 83, and 97 respectively.  I've thought Rivers was overrated for a while, but he has the name, the high school hype, and the Duke/coach K media machine that pretty much locks him into the lottery.  It's a shame a guy that had a decent season will get the benefit of the doubt over a proven winner like Crowder that brings a lot more to the table than just volume shooting.

not a great track record when you look at past couple years.

Damion Jones/Texas as the top guy in 2010, Cole Aldrich as the third best, Brian Zoubek/Duke at #6, Hassan Whiteside from Marshall as the # 8, and John Wall a few spots ahead of Tiny Gallon at #50.

2011 showed Charles Jenkins of Hofstra as their #2 PG and Gary McGhee from Pitt as the second best big man in the draft.
