Harrison Barnes and Perry Jones Staying In School

The Minnesota Timberwolves have the greatest odds to win the NBA Lottery for the 1st Overall selection in the 2011 NBA Draft. They were hit with some bad news. Harrison Barnes of North Carolina and Perry Jones of Baylor elected to stay in school. They are both freshman who probably have the most potential, had they entered the draft. Now they will roll the dice and return for their sophomore seasons. The consensus top two picks almost have to be Kyrie Irving of Duke and Derrick Williams of Arizona. The Timberwolves are guaranteed to have at worst the 4th pick. Here are my choices:

1-Kyrie Irving - Duke

2-Derrick Williams - Arizona

3-Enes Kanter - Supposed to be Kentucky, ruled ineligible

4-Brandon Knight - Kentucky

2011 NBA Draft Prospects

Perry Jones of BaylorI know, I know. The season is still long from over. But hey, if we may be headed for an NBA Draft Lottery, why not look at some of the prospects right? Who knows, what if the Minnesota Timberwolves won the NBA Draft? Here are my top prospects in the 2011 NBA Draft:

1) Perry Jones, Baylor - Freshman, small forward with elite athleticism
2) Harrison Barnes, North Carolina - Freshman, small forward with great work ethic and skill
3) Jared Sullinger, Ohio State - Freshman that can score in bunches
4) Kyrie Irving, Duke - Freshman, that showed glimpses of stardom but has been injured
5) Enes Kanter, Kentucky - Freshman has been ineligible so far, big center with huge potential

With a roster of possibly Ricky Rubio, Kevin Love, Michael Beasley, Wesley Johnson, Darko Milicic, Jonny Flynn, and one of these players, how many games do you think this team could potentially win?
