Scheyer 6th in ESPN mock draft

[Jesus_hurley]

Interesting concept on ESPN - a mock draft based on college contribution.

6. Jon Scheyer, guard, Duke. (Chad Ford mock draft position: Second round to undrafted): Scheyer won't sniff the first round of an NBA draft -- he, like Reynolds, simply isn't athletic enough to hang in the NBA. (Scheyer isn't athletic even by college standards; much of his scoring came from crafty hesitation moves and efficient cuts around the perimeter). It's not that hard to understand. But as a college player, especially in Duke's 2009-10 national championship run, Scheyer was ruthlessly effective.

Scheyer isn't 6th in the draft, he is the 6th person discussed. Per the article he will be drafted in the second round or not at all.

That makes more sense...I couldn't figure if it was meant he was 6th in the second round, and was too busy to go read the article.

The mock draft in the article is basing the picks on college performance. Using that, Scheyer would likely be the 6th pick. The writer knows, as well as everyone else, that the draft is not based on college performance but is making a point that IF the NBA drafted on performance and not potential, Scheyer would likely go 6th. Did you guys not read it before responding?

It is in that spirit that I present to you -- drum roll, please -- what may or may not be the first ever College Basketball Production-Only Mock Draft, or the CBPOMD, which I think you could pronounce as "seebpomd." (Catchy name, huh? I came up with it myself.) It is, quite simply, a list of how NBA teams would draft if they tossed off all the other factors and looked only at how a college basketball player played in college. That's it. It's easy. Think of it this way: You're drafting a college basketball player to play college basketball. Who would you take, and why?

I did read the read the article before responding. Just didn't get what the author was trying to get across. Now that I understand, it was a complete waste of time. The draft ain't gonna happen that way so why bother going down that road? Speculation,smeculation, it's still a waste of time.
