Most athletic big in the draft?

You forgot to add Pops Mensah Bonsu and Tyrus Thomas

It would be

Thomas
Noah
Pops
Boone
Augustine
Armstrong
Horford

tyrus thomas by a landslide

Stromile Swift may have been the most athletic player in the 2000 draft.

I like Noah and Horford a lot because they understand the demands of professional sports being the sons of Yannick and Tito and playing in a good program that produces solid players who often [not always] can contribute right away.

Noah really intrigues me for some reason........I'm looking forward to seeing him play again tonight......I wouldn't mind Noah in a Nets uniform whenever he decides to declare.....That energy and fire that he plays with is contagouse, and he's 6'11 with skillz....So that helps too :biggrin:

On one hand, I agree. On the other, I wonder how a rail-thin kid like Noah would do in the NBA. And how much different is he from Anderson Varejao, who is same size, had a similar [if less well-publicized] breakout against Team USA in the 2003 Americas tournament in Puerto Rico and was drafted at No. 30? Nice player, but constantly getting hurt in part because he is a beanpole. [I do hope he drops but he wont...and he may not come out anyway.]

Get Me Boone!

Big Baby!

I'm not sure if Noah is more athletic, or if he is just long with good timing and fundamentals. He is skinny. He also overuses his ball handling skills. His jumper is also ugly.

I think Boone would be a great fit with the Nets.

I believe so too, and he could be our new "PJ Brown"....I think Boone's will have a similar career to PJ once he's in the NBA.

Glen "Big Baby" Davis

J/K

Tyrus Thomas

Thomas and then everyone else.

maybe thomas' nonfactor performance against UCLA will bump him down in the draft to where we pick.... prob not but i can hope

Neutralized, his offensive game is very very limited

He wasn't doing much else either.

Tru, but that didn't stop him from causing havoc against everyone else up until UCLA last night.....If he had a poor of a game as everyone is saying he might decide to stay for another season of CBB, and not enter the draft?

If I were him, I would declare. Don't know if his draft status/hype could get any higher, and his team doesn't look like it will get any better. I never really liked their guard play, and teams have figured out the way to stop Glen Davis. No point in staying, although I like it better when kids stay in school.

How can we even begin to start to talk about the draft when we don't know if many underclassmen are in?
