Thought of the Day
Five guys I’m convinced will be studs
DeMar DeRozen - An athlete in the Vince Carter mold, though I’m slightly worried that one year under Tim Floyd may have ruined him.
Ty Lawson - Quicker than 99% of the NBA, plus he has a jump shot.
Blake Griffin - Duh.
Stephen Curry - Did you watch the 2007 NCAA Tournament?
Gerald Henderson - I see his skills translating much better to the NBA game than the ACC one.
Five guys who will be better than expected
Hasheem Thabeet - A lot of people say he’s going to be the next Shawn Bradley, but I don’t ever remember Bradley having the defensive timing that Thabeet does.
DeJuan Blair - Short for a four, but he’s a bruiser in the paint who can finish around the rim.
Tyler Hansbrough - All he did for four years was grab boards, go to the foul line and win.
Chase Budinger - With his outside shooting and athleticism, I see him very Rashard Lewi-like.
Jonny Flynn - Won’t ever be an All-Star with his size, but teams that pass him will regret it.
Five guys who will be busts
Jrue Holiday - Example A of a guy who should have stayed in school past his freshmen year.
BJ Mullens - Example B, even worse than Holiday because he wasn’t even average in the Big Ten.
Jordan Hill - It’s not that I hate his game, but he just doesn’t seem polished enough for me.
Ricky Rubio - This is my riskiest of all picks, especially since I loved watching him in the Olympics, but he seems to have major holes in his game.
Earl Clark - Maybe a solid player, but people really love him for some strange reason.
