Updated NBA Draft Big Board

Here is an updated version of the big board.  The prospect list is using DraftExpress' in/out list, and includes all prospects who are on the fence, or have not announced yet. 

For reference, here is the subjective grade scale, based off of the player's ceiling at the next level:  90-100 (Star), 80-90 (All-Star), 70-80 (Starter), 60-70 (Contributor), 50-60 (Role Player), 40-50 (Draftable) <40 (Undrafted FA)

  39. Reggie Bullock SF/North Carolina- 60
  40. Myck Kabongo PG/Texas- 60
Next 5: Kyle Anderson, Lucas Nogueira, Isaiah Canaan, Brandon Paul, Vander Blue

For reference, Anthony Davis, My top rated prospect in 2012 had a grade of 93.  My 30th ranked player (Ideally the first round cutoff point) was Mo Harkless, who had a grade of 66.  Last year 25 players had "starter" ceiling, to only 15 this year (And that number could get smaller if more players back out).  The 2013 draft is not as strong at the top, but is deep when you look at players who could get picked at the end of round one beginning of round 2.  Workouts, off-court incidents, and invitationals, such as the Nike Hoop Summit on April 20th, will all shape rises and falls in the rankings.
