These lists are always interesting, if not the most objective. You'll see Luke at #5, a pretty fair assessment (I'd agree with anything in the top 5). K-Mac comes in at 64th, a nice slot for him as well.
ESPN cover boy? 17th. I don't see nothing!

Harangody is also rated a 6th man/fringe starter in the NBA, along with Tyler Hansbrough and Stephen Curry.
Some of it has to do with body type; Hansbrough, Harangody, and Curry are all "tweeners" or a bit too small for the pros at their current positions. Also, pro scouts have to take into account things that the players will only see in the NBA. I recall a Sports Illustrated article from a couple of years ago where the writer scouted a few games with an anonymous NBA scout. The writer fell in love with a particular ACC player (I think he was from UNC) and was surprised that the pro scout didn't rate him as highly. He asked him why.
"Hand check," replied the scout. And that was the difference. In the pros, he'd get manhandled, knocked off his shot or his dribble.
If Harangody was two inches taller, he'd be an automatic lottery pick. That's good for us, though, as a lack of height hasn't hurt his college game and should ensure he stays four years.
