I'm sorry the NFL Draft is this month...... I will not be commenting on any NBA draft until after the season.......
ReplyDeletepicks 1-10 are cosmetic....these teams will always struggle and basically develop talent for playoff teams later thru trade/free agency
ReplyDeletei like rubio with gilbert...now agent 0 can focus on being a true 2
don't understand why gerald henderson is so high...he can't go left in college. i like him as a college player. in the nba his sky is battier/dontay jones
i like terrence williams but with barbosa and richardson this does not address the suns needs with an aging PG and C
i like blair with the hornets (backup hustle PF)....his sky is a little better than big baby (young corliss or weatherspoon if he works)...or he will be robert tractor traylor
hansborough could work playing with dwight...dwight plugs the middle and tyler is there for the open elbow jumpers (a haslem type)....tyler can only be affective playing aside a dominant PF/C
i like nick from UF (he is a kirk hinrich type but has deron williams size) but he does not adress the cavs need down low with aging Z, joe smith, and big ben...verajoa is not the answer
pistons do not need PG...i like flynn ALOT but they need help down low with againg sheed and mcnugget...maxiell is not the answer but stuckey is at PG
i like tyereke but the knicks drafting another hybrid SG/PG...that's just wrong
i also understand this is totally opinion as some of these guys will continue to move around after workouts and some are not leaving school....but i think my team need analysis is dead on.
History will prove that Rubio is the best player coming out of this draft. The 2nd best will be Tyreke Evans (who Emeka doesn't know anything about) Steph Curry is a role player in the league... see JJ Redick. He can't play point and is not athletic enough (and too small) to play 2. Anyone drafting him in the top 20 is making a mistake.
ReplyDeleteWhat I'm interested to see is the Brandon Jennings experiment... he's the guy that went to Europe instead of college. If he can come back and be a top draft pick, then this may become more of a BKM for other fools more interested in $$$ than the college experience.
1. teams are acedemic until the lottery occurs in a month or so, this feels more like a ranking of nba prospects.
ReplyDelete2. overrated - Jordan Hill, DeRozen (only really balled for 10 games @ USC in a bad Pac-10 conference), Gerald Henderson, Mullens (ain't sh!t), Buddinger (how is this guy a 1st round pick in basketball?)
3. underrated - Rubio (best player in the draft), Tyreke Evans (balled when he was switched to point)
4. Suns need to get Lawson, he'd be perfect for their uptempo system.
5. If Durrant didn't basically become a top 2 pick based off his college year of balling, I'd agree with you Ace. You can become a star in the draft by balling in college, I don't know if a high school kid can become a top 3 pick by playing in Europe (doesn't mean it can't happen).
i think ppl believe chase budinger is the second (better shooting) coming of luke walton....if so they could be right....if they think he is better than that then they need help...heard he could have been all world in volley ball too...
