http://www.nbadraft.net
That site is fairly reliable (at least as much as any such a site can be) and I have followed it for about six weeks. I was mainly interested in how Edmond and Trevon were slotted. Three ratings back Ed was at 11 in the first round, the second rating he dropped to 19, and the latest rating He is not even rated in the first OR second round. I know its early and those predictions mean very little now (much like the RPI ratings at this point) but it does seem odd he fell out completely. Tre remained 59 or 60 (second round). I feel like this JUST HAS to be an oversight on their part because it does not make any sense. Go Xavier!

Considering there have been scouts at darn near every game this year, it makes a lot if sense the way he forcing his play.
I see that Bluiett is the #60 pick today.

Maybe this will help Ed relax a little and accept that he needs time and more experience to develop his game.
While we all want the players to realize their dreams, I've often wondered about how NBA aspirations affect their experience of playing on their college team.

Ed needs some time and really needs to understand WHAT a good PG is. He's not a great passer or creator. He basically has really good speed and quickness and can get to the rim. His outside shot (3pt and mid range) needs a lot of work. He has great potential....but right now, I don't see him getting drafted in the first round.

Don't get me wrong.........I think he's gonna be really good if he sticks around for 4 years. Could be really special his senior year.

I really hate to see him wind up like Jordon Crawford.

If you can shoot the 3 at a high rate,there will be a spot for you in the NBA.Trey may be headed that direction.Ed is not a shooter and still needs to develope a lot as a point guard.Hope he doesn't jump early.I think Treyvon will leave after this year.

If he so intends to leave I sure hope he takes some finance courses next term.

I think Edmond has a GOOD head on his shoulders and has enough sense not to be swayed by outsiders. His last year in high school he was a Magna Cum Laude at Country Day (a very good school) and is taking computer science at Xavier. If you have a bad (or even an average game) in college life still goes on. In the NBA a few bad games gets sent to the development league or cut altogether because ITS A BUSINESS. I think he will develop into a NBA prospect if he gives it time. This year there are so many highly regarded guards he may get lost in the shuffle. Another year (or two) may very well be what is best for him. As mentioned Bentil is playing in China (still making money but not at the NBA level) after not being able to stick in the league. We all want what is best for ALL of our players and hope they all succeed. Go Xavier!
