Early indications are that next season's draft is going to be among the worst of the past 20 years.

There are hopes that Zeller comes out. (Not likely.) Noel and Muhamed look promising, but are freshmen.

Beyond that? Picking's are extremely slim.

McDermott, everyone's pre-season POY favorite, looks more like Adam Morrison than Larry Bird. Chase Benahan at UofL is being talked up as an almost sure-fire lottery selection. He's a 6'6" power forward who can't hit an open 15-footer to save his life. Olapido at IU is another talented, but extremely raw kid being touted as All-American fare. Nate Wolters is another possible All-American. Know anything about him?

Basically, almost anyone who could have turned pro did. Them' that stayed isn't as good as them's that left.
