Re: 2007 NBA Draft thread
Here's the list people should be following
1. Greg Oden- Obvious reasons. He will be the best shot blocker in the NBA and completely change the way coaches prepare their offense each night. He's also starting to show some offensive prowess now that he is healthier. He would allow the 6ers to compete for rings regularly.
2. Kevin Durant- He's either going to be an incredible bust or an all-star annually. He can shoot the ball well from the outside, especially for a guy who is 6-10 and he has solid handles, however he can't do much else. He's stuck on D because he hasn't demonstrated he can guard the perimeter and he can't bang in the paint. On offense he absolutely needs to bulk up in a big way so he can begin to learn how to drive to the basket. We'll see how he progresses this year but I do not want the 2nd pick of the draft as of right now.
The reason I prefer pick #3
3. Brandan Wright- I think he's closer to Durant than most people think. This kid can score, rebound and defend, all in the paint. If he adds some muscle he will be a huge inside presence each game. He has the skills but needs to develop some more consistency and obviously bulk up. He would perfectly fill out the 4 position.
4a. Julian Wright- Wright is still inconsistent which bothers me but he is a very talented player who could be a huge piece. His great passing skills would improve everyone around him and him and iggy would make for a sick wing combo.
5. Chase Buddinger- Word out of AZ is that he won't leave but a guarentee in the lotto may change that. He's still a little rough around the edges but he has amazing athleticism and he can shoot the ball very well. Would be the perfect 2 guard for the 6ers.
I also like Spencer Hawes and think he's the #4 prospect but we probably won't draft him because he's another center. Although I think he'll probably be better than Sammy.
4. Spencer Hawes- As Washington continues to lose he continues to impress. He is the most skilled big men in the draft in terms of post moves and shooting ability. He's very agile around the basket and has great hands as well. He has also rebounds pretty well and would make for a very nice big man, although i guess you could say the 6ers don't need him. I still don't think he should be ignored.
