The8thDeadlySinParticipantI feel like this draft may not be fantastic but I can see a few players in the second round becoming role players in the NBA.
Cory Jefferson – He already has an NBA body and athleticism. He could end up being a nice energy role player off a teams bench. Or, he could out of the league really quick.
Ryan Kelly – If he doesnt work his way into the first round in the tourney, some team is going to get a second round steal with him.. He is a poor mans Dirk. Super long and realy works hard on defense and he can shoot from anywhere on the floor. He could end up being a starter next to a PF/C that bangs in the post.. Okur worked well with Boozer.
Brandon Triche – I love his demeanor and attitude.. He is a hard worker and has gotten better every year he has played at Cuse. I think he should be able to defend in the NBA and with that thick build, he could guard anyone from 1-3.
Who are your steals for the second round?
Also, I think that Jeff Withey is a starting C in the league.. If somehow, he were to slip to the second round, he would be a steal. IMO, this site has him ranked pretty low in the mock.

SeattleSuperChronicsParticipantElias Harris- a perfect example of who would of been a 1st rounder as a soph but stuck around to be a sr and got the zags to number 1.

Sewok15ParticipantI really like the first two picks on your list but don’t see Triche making an impact in the NBA. He plays like a guy who needs a good outside shot to succeed but he only shoots 28.5% from downtown in college.
I also like…
Kenny Kadji- His age will allow him to slip to the 2nd round but somebody will get a player with great versatility and potential.
Brandon Paul- He looks like Brandon Triche with NBA 3 point range.
DeShaun Thomas- He is a pure shot maker and looks like a guy who can be a great 6th man who can play the 3 or the stretch 4.
Rodney Williams and Jamaal Franklin- These guys are elite athletes and guys like this often make a name in the NBA usually for defense but sometimes for spectacular dunks. If they improve their all around offensive skills they could both play in the NBA for 10 years.

and1rodman91ParticipantI strongly Believe Ray Mccallum will be a very good NBA player.

BigChamp12ParticipantKenny Kadji of MIami will definitely be a steal if he slips to the 2nd round. I know he’s older than most college players, but I think he has a game that is serviceable in the NBA right now. He could be a Darrell Arthur of Mareese Speights type player…
Also Christian Watford will be even more than a steal than Kadji… At 6’9 with great length and an outstanding jump shot he’ll help a lot of teams coming off the bench

TRC1991ParticipantI really think Michael Snaer, hes got the size (6’5” 200) plus a silky jumper

cuseflynn10ParticipantBased off my current 2nd round projections, here are my 2nd rounders I like:
Lorenzo Brown – should be a good combo guard off the bench to start career, and may turn into a starting PG down the road
CJ Leslie – he chips in a bit of everything at the college level and should be a good piece off the bench
Jamaal Franklin – he’s a shooter, and that’s a skill that should translate to the NBA
Trevor Mbawke – I like his athleticism and he should be able to contribute right away
Nate Wolters – underrated at a small school, appears to be a hard worker, with good offensive ability – both passing and scoring
Ray McCallum – he’d be projected to go much higher if he went to a power house school
AJ Matthews – I don’t know much about him, and don’t know if he’ll even stick in the league, but he is an intriguing prospect from the videos I’ve seen.
Brandon Paul – he’s the type of guy I can see putting up points in bunches off the bench some games, and then goose eggs in other games
Brandon Triche – he played better in the past when he was a second or third option on offense, he has the size to finish at the rim and defend, but needs to add a more consistent jumper
Elias Harris – While he doesn’t get a lot of recognition, Harris is one of the Zags best players and a leader for the new #10 - Posted on: Mon, 03/04/2013 - 6:25pm #752563
ilike.panochasParticipantI think CJ Leslie will be a steal in the 2nd round. He is an excellent defender that can defend SF and PF. He may not become a full time starting PF, but I think he can be a Taj Gibson type of player.

machu46ParticipantA couple of my second round guys that I like:
Like:
Patric Young – Don’t think he’ll be special by any stretch, but I think he’ll be a decent rotation player off the bench
Allen Crabbe – Same story as Young, won’t be special, but will be a nice shooter off the bench
Doug McDermott – I think he’ll carve out a niche as a guy that can give a team a scoring boost off the bench. Smart player with a great shot and solid moves. I’d love to get him in the 2nd.And for the record, I don’t think Brandon Triche has a future in the NBA at all. He doesn’t have any NBA skills really. A decent college player, but that’s it.

clutch in spaceParticipantI wonder what Daryl Morey will do with the suns second round pick they got from the Morris’s trade. Hopefully dork Elvis strikes again.
