Re: The Draft Thread

Pecherov is supposed to be coming over according to Ernie Grunfeld. Still, the Wizards may address a big man because Haywood may be dealt.

I think busts can be found at all positions, not just wing players. For instance, for bigs you've got Stromile Swift, Kwame Brown, Rafeal Arajo, and Darko Milicic (relative to the other picks in that draft). But I really don't know much about Young aside from the fact that he helped lead USC past Texas.

Anyways, right now NBAdraft.net has the Wizards selecting Javaris Crittenton, a 6'5 freshman point guard from Georgia Tech. Crittenton's scouting report says he has a quick first step, excellent ball handling skills, and he finishes well at the basket, either with a layup or a floater. He's supposed to be very athletic, has great hands, a good decision maker, and a hardworker.

In addition to his game being very raw, the biggest flaws to his game appear to be that he defers to his teammates; in the round of 64 in the NCAA tournament against UNLV, he was held scoreless and without an assist in the 1st half.

Potentially, it would give the Wizards another playmaker that could come off the bench or potentially start alongside Arenas over time.
