3) Carmelo Anthony (Syracuse)
"Ford's Take: Of the top three, Carmelo is the most accomplished. He will be a dominant NBA scorer. Every time scouts begin talking about him, the names of Antoine Walker and Glenn Robinson are evoked. That's not bad company. But is he the guy to turn the Nuggets around? Combine him with Nene Hilario and you have a start. But the Nuggets need a lot of help. Carmelo can score 20 points a night, but the team won't win unless guys like Gilbert Arenas and Corey Maggette decide to join the Nuggets in free agency this summer."
46) Sani Becirovic (Slovenia)
"Ford's Take: This is a gamble with big upside. Becirovic was a superstar in Europe before two knee injuries sidelined him for the past two years. He was one of the most lethal scorers in Europe. He could be a star if his knees ever heal, but that's a big if."
57) Xue Yuyang (China)
"Ford's Take: A good shooter who plays on the perimeter. He has a bad body. Plays a bit like Wang Zhizhi."
