NBA Draft Big Board

I recently posted my first mock draft for the 2013 NBA Draft, which will take place this June.  Between now and then, A LOT will change.  Teams will rise and fall, non-seniors will determine whether they should declare for the draft, and all players will play under scrutiny from scouts in conference tournaments and other postseason play, including the NCAA Tournament.  Here is my updated big board, which is again, a player rankings list based off of who the best players will wind up being (Grade in parenthesis).  For reference here is the grade scale once more:  90-100= Potential Superstar, 80-90=Potential All-Star, 70-80=Potential NBA Starter, 60-70=NBA Contributor, 50-60=Role Player, 40-50=Draftable, 40 and below=Undrafted FA
