Two Hoopster's That Look Like 1st Rounders To Me

Xavier's Jordan Crawford out of Detroit left a big time imprint on the NCAA tournament.  So did Kansas State forward Curtis Kelly.

Crawford for sure look like a 1st round NBAer the way he shot from downtown and the sweet drives. It's been a long time since I've seen somebody look like the Iceman George Gervin but the way Crawford went to the finger roll that one time.

The Wildcats Kelly put on a real show against the X-men in that double OT win. I looked to see if any of the draft gurus had Kelly on their radar as a 1st rounder. Kelly wasn't on any list as a 1st or 2nd rounder. In just that one game (sometimes that's all it takes) I saw what looks to me like a future 1st rounder in the NBA. Too bad K-State counn't have won another game or two. I bet the gurus would have been all over Kelly then.

Not to go all Dicky-V on you but: Remember you heard it here first.
