The Charlotte Bobcats will miss out on Anthony Davis, barring a miracle, but there are still some very talented big men available with the No. 2 pick. The forerunner to get selected at that second spot is probably Kansas' Thomas Robinson.

The power forward will certainly be off the board within the first five picks Thursday night.
