Which rookie/s will make an instant impact in the 2012-13 season?

[Venti Quattro]

I am really high on MKG's potential to be an NBA star.

[gaKNOW!blee]

Barnes seems like he is most ready to come in and score, but I think MKG turns out to be the best player from this draft.

[Pelicans78]

MKG needs to work on his jumper. He does everything well, but his shooting is really poor for a wing player, especially his shooting form. Easy to play off of him right now. He will be an elite defender, driver to the basket, but if he wants to be an All-Star he needs to improve his passing and shooting since he's a wing player.

Sullinger will be one of the best players in this draft. Great post scorer and can shoot from the perimeter, strong rebounder, and underrated defender.

Still, no one is close to Davis as a prospect and he will make a surprising impact in his rookie season.

[KD4MVP]

As a UNC fan, i think Zeller could be the best from Year 1, and overall depending where he lands.

I like MKG but he needs to work on his jumper to be an effective scorer.

I like Beal, TRob to make a big impact, maybe Barnes depending where he goes.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Davis and Sullinger

[TE]

Ad ftw.

[LnGrrrR]

Hopefully whoever Ainge drafts *crossing fingers*

[Trainwreck2100]

obviously whatever rookie the Spurs have, they've had effective rooks like 4 out of the last 5 years. LOL NBA do you even try to draft?

[baseline bum]

I fucking love MKG. If Tony Parker could be taught how to shoot a jump shot (he literally only had a horrible set shot when entering the league), so can Gilchrist. Aside from Gilchrist being a great defender, an excellent rebounder, a good ballhandler, and a guy who can finish at the rim with contact, he is supposed to have a great work ethic and be an excellent leader too. Plus he has been playing with the basketball world looking at him closely since his freshman year of HS and has always lived up to the hype. I think he's a phenomenal long term prospect who is already good enough to make an impact his rookie season. If anyone other than New Orleans passes on him they're going to really regret it.

I hope Charlotte passes up on MKG. I just don't want to see him there. :lol

[Trainwreck2100]

son why did charlotte send a guy who got the number 2 pick in the draft the last time he was sent to the draft?

[BRHornet45]

I will follow Davis.

[dunkman]

Erazem LORBEK tbh.

[Venti Quattro]

Did anyone watch the draft combine on ESPN? Michael Kidd-Gilchrist needs a speech coach and a couple more PR guys so badly. Fans and the media are going to kill him if he doesn't fix his constant stuttering and loss of words during camera interviews.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I think Bradley Beal is the most NBA ready out of everyone but doesn't necessarily have the highest ceiling. MKG will have an immediate impact just because of his work ethic and attitude, but Beal imo is more polished and will have the same NBA position he had in college. Drummond is the biggest project that'll require the right situation (so not Charlotte) and will probably look like shit the first 1-2 years, and Thomas Robinson will be the top 5 pick that went way to high. I liked Harrison Barnes until he looked completely clueless without Kendall Marshall on the court. He'd be a great fit in Cleveland with Irving already there.

This imo might be the best draft class since 2008.

[tesseractive]

I am really high on MKG's potential to be an NBA star.

Agree. If the rumor is true that Charlotte's pick is on the trading block, some smart team is going to make a killing.

[Spurs da champs]

MGK & or T-Rob will have the best rookie seasons, I also agree tho MGK is gonna be a really good damn player the sky is the limit for him. I'm not buying into the hype for AD, dude is not gonna last long.

[Bill_Brasky]

MKG will be good. Sullinger is too short. Davis of course. Robinson will end up being pretty good too.

F this draft though. We need to tank and get Shabazz.

[BUMP]

I still think Perry Jones could be a player who falls in the draft but could still make a huge impact if he learns how to utilize his potential and be more consistent.

In the game against UK he had a shit 1st half but someone obviously lit a fire under him at halftime and he started scoring on Terrence Jones/Anthony Davis

[Kai]

Shouldn't you have made the poll so you can choose multiple choices?

[TimmehC]

Whichever Euro guy the Spurs draft at #59, tbh.

[LnGrrrR]

So if this draft is relatively deep, what are the odds of the Celtics picking up a serviceable player with the 20th and 21st picks? I'm not saying a superstar, but someone who could be reliable off the bench.
