Re: Derrick Byars

He can do whatever you want offensively, and he plays tough perimeter defense. IMO he as passed up Shan Foster in terms of pro potential. He's a traditional SG but since he has played the PG a bit for Vanderbilt he has good ball skills as well. He's a second rounder in this draft, but I think he can help out the right team.

Re: Derrick Byars

Possibly a Craig Smith, Powe, Millsap, Gomes type player who can help out a team as a second round pick.

I think this draft is a bit to deep, but you never know whose going to "Balkman" and take a player that fits their needs instead of best available. Byars would really help out some teams that are in need of a backup SG that can play some D and shoot.

Re: Derrick Byars

This is the type of guy the predraft camps are perfect for. He can easily play his way into the first round.

Re: Derrick Byars

He's definitely a better prospect than Alando Tucker.

Re: Derrick Byars

byers has definately impressed me in this tournament. he just does so many things for his team that don't show up on the stat sheet. I think he's as good as any SG in this draft.

Re: Derrick Byars

the more i watch this kid play the more i like his game. He can score, pass and also is a good rebounder for his size. I know nbadraft.net has him compare to Roy anyone else think he can have a Rookie season like Roy?

Re: Derrick Byars

The next Josh Howard.

Player of the Year in a major conference. Does everything well including defend. Has range. Good ball skills. Good size for his position. Very smart kid.

Some playoff team/contender is going to score big by getting this kid.

Re: Derrick Byars

Nbadraft.net bumped him all the way to #9, which I think is a little high.

I'm not sure about a Josh Howard comparison. In college, Howard was a great rebounder and mediocre distributor, unlike Byars.

I think he'll end up being closer to a Jarvis Hayes or a Rasual Butler.

Re: Derrick Byars

ya, i like him but i havent seen him play as much as i should've

saw like 2-3 games with Vanderbilt this season....

anyway #9 is probalby too high but i think with good pre draft workout he can sneak into the lotto

Re: Derrick Byars

If you want to see him you can watch SEC basketball games on the net over at Yahoo Sports.

I really like the kid and think he would be a great fit for a team like the Hornets or the Cavs. Where he doesn't have to create on offense but will be a huge help on defense.
