2008 Draft

Never too early to speculate, looks like a good draft without the marquis names at the top. Like the European crop with guys like Batum and Galinari, some good bigmen like Hibbert, Lopez twins and a horde of guards. Highschool crop(soon to be freshman) seems good to very good, stay tuned.

Re: 2008 Draft

Derrick Rose is going to be the best player in this draft.

Re: 2008 Draft

It's not as deep a draft as people like to make it out to be. It has solid starting point guards, but the fact that they have Donte Greene rated above guys like Chris Douglas-Roberts and Jamont Gordon makes me scratch my head. He's a good player no doubt, but there's no guarantee he's going to have an awesome freshman year.

The only guys I can think of off the top of my head who came in balling like that were Lawrence Moten and Carmelo Anthony. The Cuse rarely have guys just come in and dominate.

Also Michael Beasley is a tweener.

Re: 2008 Draft

Beasley isnt really a tweener IMO he should dominate in the Big 12 right away(maybe not durant style but close)

he is my top prospect right now

Batum looks good too as well as Hibbert

I like Eric Gordon and if he can measure out at around 6'5 with shoes that would make him a top 5 pick as well

Derrick Rose was my favorite for this draft but his stock his fallen for me

Re: 2008 Draft

I really don't think Beasley is a pure NBA PF. He doesn't look tall enough for that at his size. He may grow into one, but I was underwhelmed by him. He obviously can play, but I don't know if I see NBA stardom all over him.

since the clippers need a point, i was looking at rose to be the perfect pick if the clippers get into the lottery again...injury concerns, off court drama, ???

Dont see Gordon anywhere near 6'5" but i like him better than most of the guards. Can see the Mitch Richmond comparison and a bit of Joe Dumars.

Re: 2008 Draft

Eric Gordon is my favorite prospect for this draft so far too. Something about Rose just isn't right to me. Freak of a talent, but Im just not a fan.

Whoever gets Jamont Gordon is going to be very please especially if its in the low first round.

Re: 2008 Draft

The #1 pick, in this draft will be...Brook Lopez, follow by Derrick Rose, than Michael Beasley.

Lots of dunks, lots of over dribbling, not a good shooting stroke, and not a single pass in that video :-/
