Re: Who do you think'll be the..
I don't know why, but I feel it could be Rudy Gay. He is often dubbed "the man with the most potential" in this draft class, but he doesn't have the same type of work ethic that a player like Morrison has, and when you're not an absolute, unstoppable all-star in the NCAA, you do need to work to do well in the NBA. Of course, I very well could be wrong, but I hope it doesn't become a Kwame Brown like situation. Mind you, Rudy Gay has college experience, Brown didn't, Rudy Gay has a much better Work Ethic than he did, and Gay won't be picked first so no ego problems from that.
I think a safe bet is saying Marcus Williams, especially if he's on a team that doesn't have a very reliable shooter beside him, or a big inside threat.

Yea but keep in mind, many people thought the same thing about Chris Bosh for those very reasons.

patrick o'bryant has bust written all over him, but out of the top 5 i say Adam Morrison he won't amount to anything more than a Wally Sczerbiak type player.

Wally's not a bust. He put up 20 ppg this year. That's what any realistic person expects from Morrison. He'll only disappoint if you expect him to be Bird.

Nobody is great in the NBA without working hard. Except Maybe Carter and Shaq, although I think it might be arguable for Shaq, but Jordan was among one of the hardest working players in the NBA, every offseason he would work on something weak in his game, I actually wonder how many players has Jordanesque work ethics. Both Lebron and Wade work like crazy, I think Wade prolly works harder than Lebron, this guy studies tape more than anybody I think. Kobe is a monster worker too.
ect ect ect
