A First Look at the Bobcats/Hornets Draft Possibilities
TSP Andrew:
Well, I asked for some new writers and fresh ideas for the site, and the "Bring Back the Buzz" folks delivered. The first article I have received is from John Revans. He wants to discuss this year's draft, and he shares my thought that there's probably less pressure on us by having the #4 pick instead of the #1 or # 2 pick. Take the jump...
Cavalier NBA Draft Film Room: Otto Porter
In this week’s installment of the film room, we give you the other half of the two most likely candidates for the Cavaliers’ selection at number one in the 2013 draft. Of course, when I gave you the Nerlens Noel film room nearly two weeks ago, I didn’t think it was very likely he’d be a Cavalier. Now, it’s probably the most likely scenario. But, I will say that Otto Porter...
Report: Cavaliers Considering Otto Porter With No.1 Pick
Many experts and draft aficionado’s expect the Cleveland Cavaliers to select Kentucky center Nerlens Noel with the #1 overall pick in next months draft.

Otto Porter: The best All-around player in the Draft
via SI.Com
There are observers that contradict the oft-mentioned notion that this is a weak draft.

Front offices are complaining since they need to evaluate and work harder...

NBA Mock Draft 1.0
1. Cleveland Cavaliers: Nerlens Noel
College: Kentucky/Age: 19/HT: 6’11″/WT: 205 lbs/POS: C
Otto Porter is the perfect fit here for Cleveland, but I doubt they’d pull the trigger on him with the first overall pick. Even with his injury concerns, Noel would be a nice fit with this Cavs team. Pair him up with Anderson Varejao and Tristan Thompson and you have a very nice young...
