Chad Ford’s latest Big Board for NBA draft
#1
The top 10 in ESPN expert Chad Ford’s latest Big Board for NBA draft prospects didn’t change when released Tuesday.

Outside of that, the biggest shift locally came with total exclusion of the University of Kentucky’s Harrison twins. Both were listed as top 30 NBA prospects over the summer but have since slipped completely off the board.

Ford, who still had Andrew Harrison listed on his Big Board 6.0, left him off the new 7.0. He has said repeatedly the Harrisons should return to UK for their sophomore seasons, and that opinion is growing more common as Andrew and Aaron Harrison, freshman guards from Richmond, Texas, settle into the Southeastern Conference grind.

A report from Jan. 30, citing an anonymous source, said UK coach John Calipari has been telling NBA personnel the Harrisons won’t enter this year’s draft. In the same story, The Sporting News’ Sean Deveney wrote that “the Harrisons should not be counted out of the ’14 draft just yet. They still are giving strong consideration to entering the draft in June, and while Calipari has influence, the family will make the decision.”

Andrew averages 10.7 points per game and is often seen as the better NBA prospect, even though brother Aaron scores 14 points per game, third on the team.

Ford’s projections list the top 30 prospects, plus five players on the fringe. The Harrison twins have also been left off DraftExpress.com’s mock selections, which project all 60 picks.

ESPN’s Ford lists UK freshmen Julius Randle fifth and James Young 14th. Sophomore Willie Cauley-Stein is 19th.
