So here we go, six words for each prospect ranked in the ESPN Top 30.
1. Derrick Rose: Pretty indecisive for Jason Kidd's replacement
2. Michael Beasley: The spitting image of Carmelo Anthony
3. O.J. Mayo: Made biggest splash in high school
4. Jerryd Bayless: Talented but does not win much
5. Russell Westbrook: Hollinger lists him as a bust
6. Danilo Gallinari: Better than both Bargnani and Bellinelli
7. Kevin Love Taller, fatter version of Wes Unseld
8. Joe Alexander: Someone is going to get Pittsnogle'd
9. Eric Gordon: If only head were less fat
10. D.J. Augustin: Solid point in a top-heavy class
11. Brook Lopez: His nickname should probably be Batman
12. Kosta Koufos: What the industry calls "a project"
13. Brandon Rush: Senior in a sea of freshmen
14. Anthony Randolph: Might have benefited from another year
15. Darrell Arthur: Kansas could be this year’s Florida
16. Marreese Speights: Filled big shoes after Horford, Noah
17. Alexis Ajinca: Yi Jianlian without the holdout possibility
18. Mario Chalmers: Comes in as ready as ever
19. Robin Lopez: Overshadowed by both brother and girlfriend
20. Donte Greene: Someone could get a steal here
21. J. J. Hickson: Every team could use a bruiser
22. Serge Ibaka: Don’t expect him to come over
23. DeAndre Jordan: Top 5 talent. Motor, less so
24. Roy Hibbert: Should have come out last year
25. Nicolas Batum: French team probably pretty good now
26. JaVale McGee: Wouldn't call him a "workout wonder"
27. Chris Douglas-Roberts: Never lost at one-on-one
28. Courtney Lee: Has range from pretty much anywhere
29. Ante Tomic: Maybe this year’s Tiago Head Splitter
30. D.J. White: Shorter than listed, but plays huge
Remember to tune on Thursday as we liveblog the festivities because we are clearly more interesting than Skeets and KD.

Oh, wouldn't it be wonderful if Stephen A. was limited to only sixe words at a time!
Stephen A. only needs one, "HOWEVA"
But yes, the world would be a better place.
