DraftExpress: Simply incomprehensible that Ty Lawson couldn't be even an average player for Zalgiris considering the skills he's showed tonight. Suckers.

DraftExpress: Crunch time and Zalgiris prefers going with the ancient and no defense playmaking of DC Collins over Ty Lawson. Very telling.

* For the NBA and International leagues, top 25s reflect the actual top 25 list. Due to the number of college players, we've limited top 25s in NCAA to only draft prospects which better reflects the level of competition and what we feel provides highlights of a more interesting subset. Top 25s of college stats prior to 2005 will be extremely inaccurate due to the minimal number of college profiles from 2004 and before in our database
