Last year, if I recall, Cotton was told he was a first-round pick only to slip to the second round. Oftentimes new players announce that weren't considered before. European players suddenly are in the conversation. Things change...big difference in being "we'll take you" by a single team and every independent service having you ranked between 15-25. The Rondo comparisons and ainge visit have me thinking the Celts take him at 15...

P.S. friarbroadcaster, we've had this discussion before. There are times when you come across full of yourself. Try to be more humble. Thumper, if you are referring to the "I'm careful. I know what I'm saying. I know who I've talked to." bit...I can see your point, I can promise you in this case I was just responding and was typing it with no ill intent or trying to come across that way. BUT BUT I do appreciate that you wanted to point it out to me. I agree with you on Cotton and things always seem to be skewed when these players make their decisions.

Also---talk to God and his Dad about "promises" .They say the Knicks told Sham they were going to draft him in Round 1---we all know how that worked out.

71 - I'm not sure if you were attributing the Cotton first round/second round comments to me....I never said that and was just copying thumps post...SO have at it with him...
Frankly I don't remember anyone saying he'd be a first rounder....

I think the comparable's to Shammgod, Ledo and Cotton are ill-fits for Dunn's situation. Kris will be a top-20 pick I'd have to think and he has the injury thing hanging over him. Totally different set of considerations.

Nothing "personal" meant by it at all.

It's called the quote button, Walk.
If you use it people will know who said what as opposed to thinking you said it with the ....
But we know you march to the beat of your own drum. God bless ya.

I'm not surprised to hear that his mind is all but made up, but I think he needs to hang tight and let this process play out until the last possible second. He needs to be very confident of his status. I base a lot of this off of what friara has been saying, but he has work to do to even establish himself as a top 5 PG. I think he has the ability to enter the top 5 overall discussion if he hangs around for another year.
I don't know how heavily the injury issue will weight on Kris and his family, but there's very little chance he regresses from a performance standpoint.
All of that said, he probably goes because there will be teams in his ear telling him what he wants to hear.

www.woonsocketcall.com/node/13072“He’s not ready right now. He would struggle like a lot of players who come out after one year of college ball,” said the same scout when reached Monday. “In a perfect world, I think he does want to come back and I think it would be the best thing for him.”

....they're only telling him what he wants to hear if they "guarantee" they'd pick him and don't.....the Ledos and Shamgods were hearing it from one team....and the one team was sitting in the 25-30 range....Dunn appears to be hearing from multiple teams starting as low as 15 with the celts....

I would guess that the 50+ kids projected as first rounders hear from a large number of NBA teams doing their due diligence.
Walk, what team promised Ledo that they would draft him?

Walk, what team promised Ledo that they would draft him?...I have no idea....the ledo camp indicated they had first round interest....I found as surprising as anyone...but similar to joe lunardi and his brackets, the draft projection services have no skin in the game so if enough have you in the first round, it's a good bet you'll be taken there....
