'There are two clear-cut choices at the top, and then it's very wide-open. 'There's a little bit less to be desired at the top,' Colangelo said. In this light of a draft, it's possible the prospect taken 15th ends up being the fifth-best player overall. When asked if the upcoming draft was strong in anything, Riley said: 'Not especially.' Colangelo thinks there will be some players taken next month who will have long NBA careers. Along with Kanter and Valanciunas, Czech Republic forward Jan Vesely, Lithuanian center Donatas Motiejunas, Congo center Bismack Biyombo and Montenegro forward Nikola Mirotic all could receive lottery consideration. The lack of American college stars in the draft will also make it easier for international prospects to get picked higher. 'If you look at the tail end of it, there are going to be second-rounders that are going to be taken late in the first.' 'There are guys that are going to be lottery picks that weren't going to be,' Warriors general manager Larry Riley said.

One GM said some prospects are jumping up 'four or five spots' because of the talent drain. North Carolina forwards Harrison Barnes and John Henson, Ohio State forward Jared Sullinger, Kentucky forward Terrence Jones and Baylor forward Perry Jones III all disappointed NBA teams by electing to play in college another year. That's contributed to the shallow talent pool. Several top prospects didn't want to declare for this year's draft for fear of the NBA entering a lockout this summer. Less than a month later, the Hornets sent Bayless to Toronto in a five-player trade. The lack of projected talent in this year's draft made the New Orleans Hornets comfortable trading their first-round pick to the Portland Trail Blazers for reserve guard Jerryd Bayless (notes) on Oct. That might go for a couple of teams as well.' If Washington wins the lottery, it's pretty clear that they probably don't require a point guard вЂ“ and if someone really wants a point guard they will probably make an attempt to make some type of a deal with Washington. 'Once the results of the lottery are known we will have a more clearer idea of what's going on up there. 'Every team will probably look at it a little bit differently,' Colangelo said. The Minnesota Timberwolves have the best odds (25 percent) of winning the top pick in the lottery, followed by the Cleveland Cavaliers (19.9), Raptors (15.6), Washington Wizards (11.9) and Sacramento Kings (7.6). Valanciunas would be a hard sell to North American fans, who know little about him. Kanter hasn't played in an organized game in more than a year after being ruled ineligible to play at Kentucky last season. Some scouts consider Williams undersized and don't know whether he's more suited to play small or power forward. Irving missed most of his only college season with a right toe injury, and several teams in the lottery already have the point guard position filled. 1 pick.Д®ach of the four players, however, has blemishes. This year we really mean it.'Д¬olangelo considers Duke freshman point guard Kyrie Irving and Arizona sophomore forward Derrick Williams the top prospects available, but said the rest of the draft holds a lot of 'murkiness.' Another NBA GM thinks Turkish center Enes Kanter and Lithuanian center Jonas Valanciunas could also merit consideration with the No. 'Every year we always talk about how bad the draft is. One Western Conference general manager was more succinct in his analysis of this year's pool of available players.
