Basic math would tell you he isnt a lottery pick! HM All American! That means he is the 16-25 best college bball player... Considering some will stay, you add in the usual 4-5 high schoolers taken early and a few Euros, and he goes at around 23 or so! The Rockets were among the teams drooling over him last year though, and they could get him here probably, and it is close to home! So I think this is a 50/50 type thing
finally found a listing of the entire ap aa. did you see how many honorable mention aa there are? are you kidding me? it basically just means you are the best guy on your team.

Can you find one mock draft that shows Bass in the top 10? I looked a couple of weeks ago and didn't see him anywhere in the top 20...He started showing up in the 20s and some had him going in the 2nd round. 2nd round would be disasterous for Bass. He wouldn't get big money and there would be a good chance he'd end up playing overseas. I think that at this point, there may be more risk for him to come out this year than to say in school.
I believe most mock drafts do not even show Bass at all mostly due to the fact that he has not declared himself eligible for the draft.
If you go to www.nbadraft.net, they got mocks... They normally DEAD ON too come draft time, and there latest has bass going #31.... NEXT YEAR!
its becoming more obvious that too many tiger fans have an inflated view of bass. its easy to do. watching frye today against illinois shows how far behind bass is. ok bass is a 4 and frye's a 5, and maybe some team would take bass over frye because of potential, but there is a BIG difference. as a 4 bass should be better at passing and shooting, not worse. bass needs to stick around to give himself the best shot at setting himself up for life. if he goes in the second round, he could really screw himself.
Dude! :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl: :rofl::rofl: seriously, how much more rep must I spread around just to raise you a few points? :hihi:
