    Well Robinson seems to be the favorite or at least who most sites have Charlotte taking with the 2nd pick. There of course is a chance they take MKG, but since Barnes workout there are more rumors about them taking him. I hope no way in hell they take Barnes, to me he is just an over-sized spot up shooting guard.

    I hope they take Robinson, but wouldn't be upset with MKG either. They need an aggressive hustle type player to lead this team and I think either of these two guys could do that.

    Draft thoughts in a draft thread!

    Barnes is terrible. As a Carolina fan, I'm so happy he's finally gone. The Bobcats trading down from #2 to #4 to get extra picks from Cleveland would be awesome if they don't take Barnes at #4 (Cavs supposedly want Beal at #2). Since Washington now has Okafor to go along with Nene and their other bigs, I can't imagine them taking Thomas Robinson at #3, so he'd still be available at #4 unless someone else traded up.

    Agree on Robinson he should be the pick. I'd be worried about a move down as Robinson could be gone. Don't want MKG, Drummond or Barnes. I seriously want Thomas Robinson and I'm not seeing him as average by any means. Like the measurables and 7-1 wingspan and he backs down from no one. Take Robinson and don't get cute.

    I look beyond the top 15-17 prospects and don't really like anyone there. Pass on moving down if it costs us Robinson.

    Beal can score so they will be interested and he wouldn't be terrible but just not the caliber player Robinson is IMO.

    That would be a nice scenario if it played out there way.

    Beal has the potential to be a great player, whereas Robinson and MKG are safe and solid choices. I can't imagine there's any chance of the Wizards taking Robinson at #3, so as I said, unless they trade out of that spot then I think it's a very safe bet that he'll last to #4. Even if something unexpected happens and he's not there, at worst you have Kidd-Gilchrist.

    This team is more than a player away from respectability, trade down no further than 4 assuming those two teams have a hard on for one player and take gilcrest or the Kansas big man (my choice)

    I would take Henson or Zeller before I`d even look at Barnes.

    Agreed, I would also take Marshall before Barnes.

    I hope we end up with Robinson, one way or another. A post player who can score would make a big difference in this team.

    I'm now opposed to trading down just because I'm terrified that they would take Barnes at #4. Beal seems to be the consensus #2 pick and the only other player besides ADavis who has star potential in this draft, so just take him.
