How did we rank the players?
We asked our ESPN Forecast panel to rate each player on a 0-to-10 scale in terms of how good a prospect he is and what kind of career he will have.
7.33
Ben McLemore said his workout went well with Cleveland, he looks in great shape, he showed you lots at Kansas. Why not #1? #NBADraftRank

Nerlens Noel
Kentucky | C | Age: 19
Ford's rank: #1
7.28
Noel is raw offensively, rail-thin, and coming off ACL surgery. This ranking may be too high. #NBADraftRank

Victor Oladipo
Indiana | SG | Age: 21
Ford's rank: #2
7.21
"@ESPNNBA: #NBADraftRank 3: Victor Oladipo " I think Oladipo is the best player in the draft and should be number 1

Trey Burke
Michigan | PG | Age: 20
Ford's rank: #8
7.21
#NBADraftRank Trey Burke is a poor man's Stephen Curry. His range is on the floor.

Otto Porter
Georgetown | SF | Age: 20
Ford's rank: #3
7.17
Otto Porter has a high motor and solid basketball IQ, but he may be limited to being a role player at the next level. #NBADraftRank

Anthony Bennett
UNLV | PF | Age: 20
Ford's rank: #4
6.88
If i was the #Cavs I would consider taking @AnthonyBennett at #1. He's a beast and would succeed with @KyrieIrving . #NBADraftRank
— Wolf Gang Simz™ (@Simz_Ghost) June 26, 2013
The knock on Anthony Bennett is that he's a "tweener," but so was Larry Johnson during his prime. He has serious potential. #NBADraftRank

Alex Len
Maryland | C | Age: 20
Ford's rank: #6

@espnnba Pretty nuts that the eighth player on the #NBADraftRank may go first on draft night.

Cody Zeller
Indiana | PF | Age: 20
Ford's rank: #11
6.32
Cody Zeller ranks 9th in @ESPNNBA's #NBADraftRank. While his stock has taken a hit this year, he remains an athletic 7-footer who can score.

Michael Carter-Williams
Syracuse | PG | Age: 21
Ford's rank: #9
6.00
"@ESPNNBA: #NBADraftRank 10: Michael Carter-Williams (Syracuse). http://t.co/wvyiNRao2K" he should top 3 along with shabazz
