What This NBA Draft Class of 2013 Brings to NBA

The NBA 2013 draft class is one of the weakest draft class since 2000 and it only gets weaker when almost 1/3 of the projected 1st round players decides to return for one more year in college. The most notable player who decides to return is Marcus Smart who is projected as top 3 pick. Followed by James Micheal McAdoo, Willie Cauley-Stein, Gleann Robinson III, Mitch McGary, Dario Saric, Doug McDermott, CJ Fair, Isaiah Austin and Alex Poythress. Imagine the lost of these players in the draft class which means some of the projected 2nd rounder mixed up with the first rounder. So if a team have a late 1st round pick is likely draft a player which is supposedly 2nd rounder quality.

One more indication that this draft class is so weak is that there is no clear who is going on to the top pick. Scouts can't find anyone with a franchise player talent. From the start of the year there are debates between 4 players who were involved in the top pick, Noel, Zeller, Muhammad and McAdoo.
Those 4 are promising players before the season start but at the end of the season, all those 4 have something in doubt. McAdoo decides to return to college for junior year though even if he decides to join this year's draft, he's probably out of the top pick discussions. Muhammad's questionable potiential after he struggles on UCLA. Zeller's strength and defense deficiencies hurts his stock down to several spots.
Noel's raw offensive ability makes plus a big blow when he suffer from torn ACL made him uncertain in the #1 spot. And there goes the wild cards: Alex Len, Ben Mclemore, Victor Oladipo and Trey Burke which don't have the quality to be a Top Pick.

As we look back to 2000 NBA draft, there are a couple of players who are having a solid careers. Kenyon Martin the former #1 pick, 2 former six man of the year Mike Miller and Jamal Crawford, and the most notable 2nd round steal: Micheal Redd. Also Hedu Turkoglu, Kenyon Dooling, Quetin Richardson, Eddie House and Deshawn Stevenson were a solid picks. These players made impact to the teams they played. They were maybe not a franchise player but help provide solid contribution for their team. This years draft class teams could find much needed help in Oladipo, Porter, McLemore and Carter-Williams. It will just depend on what system they will play and how will they be able to maximize their potentials. 

Breaking down Mitch McGary's Potential.

McGary is the secret weapon of Michigan where in most of the opponent have little knowledge of what he is capable of. McGary is actually gained some comparison with Anthony Davis in terms of breaking out in High school, becoming a beast in Senior year. He is one of the Top Big Men recruits in this freshmen class.

In Michigan, he didn't have much opportunity to show is talent during regular season averaging around 14min a game. Since Michigan have loads of talent in Trey, Tim and Glen. But even with limited minutes, he is the top rebounder of the team and efficient Field Goal percentage. I just thought that maybe next season, he will finaly have the opportunity when the Michigan superstar leaves and anyway they are winning games with just them(the Michigan Superstars).

It turns out to be a blessing in disguise for Mitch as he took the NCAA tournament by storm. almost doing everything and the most important is being consistent on every game on non-stop motor during the game. In addition, he plays big against High profiled teams against Syracause and Kansas on tough and different style of defense.

With his emergence, he gain first round projection from out of the radar. Because of a small sample size in March Madness games. he is just projected on late first round if he decide to join NBA draft this year with a top ten talent. But if he decide to stay another year, he could really add more offensive skills and solidify what he already have. In addition, he will prove the scouts of what he really is but another problem is there are loads of talent in NBA draft 2014. Jabari Parker, Andrew Wiggins, Harrison twins, etc. His chances next year will be around Mid-late first round. But it would be best for him to stay another year in Michigan.

There are different NBA players comparison to Mitch. Some say he has the same motor as Haslem had, a glue guy who dives for the ball. The toughness of Boozer inside the paint and Mid range jumper and playing nicely as a role player like McRoberts. Right Now I can say he's a poor's man Boozer..Another thing that hurts Mcgary's draft stock is his age, he's turning 21 this year. Similar situation to Royce White but although white has more skills, Mitch is much better than him. Royce gained lottery pick last year, then Mcgary deserves it more.

Right now, he is looks like the MVP of Michigan. For me he is..do you also think so?
