Mid-Major Basketball Coverage

Solid look at Weber State's Damian Lillard on Draft day, With a description of how someone most people had never heard of ended up as a lottery pick. Also, if anyone wants to just hand me a $1,000 gift card to some store, they are more than welcome.

Seth Davis talked to a number of NBA scouts that are very busy this week getting everything prepared for Thursday night. A few of them took time out to give him some thoughts on the players that we have looked at over the last month. All the big mid-major names are in there, including Damian Lillard, Scott Machado, Will Barton and Kyle O'Quinn. My favorite comment is the Machado snippet, which pegs him in the second round because the system at Iona made him look better than he is. We all know that ESPN's Doug Gottlieb disagrees with that one. He talks about the Gaels guard as if he were his fiance. The consensus thought on Machado will surely come to light Thursday night. In the meantime, this is a strong look at how the top mid-major guys fall among the top 60.
