Projected Round #1 Draft Picks in the Midwest

• Prescott

  This is a star studded regional with some players who are likely to be #1 draft picks in the NBA. The list includes:Evan Turner, Cole Aldrich, Derrick Favors, Greg Monroe,Xavier Henry,James Anderson, Kalin Lucas,Sherron Collins, and Gani Lawal.
  
  That would make a nice college all star team.

  Throw in Vasquez IMO.
• SportsAndLady

  

  I'm sure you could make a list just as good as that for other regions, but the Midwest is pretty loaded this year with good teams and players.
• Prescott

  Vasquez is likely a 2nd round guy.

  Put up another region and I'll do the next.We would find out.

  William Buford?
• wildcats20

  

  In the same boat as Vasquez, 2nd round guy.
  
  You're right Prescot about Vasquez, maybe somebody would take a chance on him though.
• Laley23

  

  Willy Buford is a first round pick. Just maybe not this year.
• cview

  You could probably add Delvon Roe as well.

  Ehh, true. Good point.
  
  Wesley Johnson is for sure a first rounder in the West.

  John Wall (lottery), DeMarcus Cousins (lottery), Patrick Patterson (lottery), Eric Bledsoe (is this a stretch, a year or two down the road?), Al-Farouq Aminu (lottery), Damion James, Avery Bradley, Lazar Hayward, Quincy Poindexter, Trevor Booker, Kim English (6'6 guard, maybe a year or two down the road), Da'Sean Butler, Devin Ebanks, Anthony Johnson 6'3 guard from Montana (MAJOR stretch, but i've seen mock drafts with him in the 2nd round..which i realize isn't what this thread is about, but he could improve his stock with a good showing in the tourney), Darington Hobson (6'6 guard, 16 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists a game..only a junior)
  
  I donno, i'm not too knowledgeable with nba draft prospects...it seems as though they pick more based on potential, more than their play in college...so if there's a guy on here that shouldn't be, i wouldn't be surprised..and if there's a guy not on here cuz he wasn't really that great in college but has serious potential, i also wouldn't be surprised.
  
  But you are right, the midwest region is definitely the best...The East region, however, is definitely up there.
