Every draft their is some second round steal, a Redd, Boozer, Arenas, Ellis, Milsap, and there are 10 to 15 teams' fans complaining that their GM was too stupid to grab the guy instead of some stiff they did pick. A lot of times that player begins to emerge in summer league. Who is that steal? Call it now.

I really think Taurean Green is going to be one of those guys. Maybe not on the level of a Boozer or Manu, but maybe a Monta Ellis/Paul Millsap guy.
First, he's going to be learning with a bunch of young guards or a young team that can grow together and most of the weaknesses I've read about him are things that can be corrected with proper instruction.
I was really hoping the Spurs were going to find a reason to draft him.
carl landry
glen davis
marcus williams
jared jordan
herbert hill
McRoberts will be a bust.
Giorgos Printezis - Book it
Seriously, I think Derrick Byars will emerge as this years "steal" (just like Gilbert Arenas). He will have the opportunity to score in Philly and with that he'll get alot of attention. His defensive skills are seriously lacking, but his scoring will get him noticed (just like Arenas)
Giorgios Printezis
One to a customer. :lolQuote:

Edit to go with Terry since if Clips sign Francis I don't think Jordan can get the playing time.
glen davis is going to be the next eddy curry/
in 2-3 years .

Derrick Byars
I'm calling Jared Jordan. I wished like hell that the spurs would grab him at 58...he was already gone, and i doubt they would have grabbed him.
Curry plays with his back to the basket, Davis likes to face up and drive and shoot jump shots so bad comparison. Davis will end up like oliver miller, fat and out of shape.Quote:

Davis is way more athletic than Curry or Miller. He likes to shoot and also take his man off the dribble too much to get sedentary.Quote:

Did you watch any of Vandy's games last year? He was consistantly called upon to cover the opposing teams best scorer. He is a good offensive player but it will be his defense that gets him more acclaim. He is smart, a good leader, and can both shoot the 3 and take it to the rack. I was pissed when we didn't take him.Quote:

Typically those players are all pretty good college players who have questions as to their height/athleticism/etc. I could be a homer and say Alando Tucker, but I'll go with Fazekas for now.
I admit that only saw him play only a couple of times. I don't have a great handle on his defense except what I saw in those 2 games. It might've been just off games that I saw from the defensive perspective. What I did see was an explosive scorer (with an unconventional shooting style ala Stephen Jackson) with a quick first step that can get by a lot of people. With that said, I still pick him as my steal of the second round.Quote:

Marcus is the steal.... I like the potential for Terry and Green too
I think it might be Tucker. My brain's telling me that he won't be able to take his game to the NBA, but the kid's tough and a winner and if he can adjust his game to the NBA and grow then he has a chance to have a much better career than many of the 1st rounders.
Dominic McGuire. Book it. :hat
D.J. Strawberry (in the Suns' system)
G. Davis. I was really hoping the Spurs would nab him. He's an aweful lot of talent.
Gabe Pruitt
Derrick Byars gona be good as well
It's difficult to say who is, but easy enough to say who ISN'T.
Big Baby will be a foul a minute guy who won't be able to bull his way thru NBA officiating. He's a big boy who plays like a WAY TOO BIG boy...slow feet and no real polished game.
Jamario Davidson in the warriors offense should be fun to watch!!
Last chance before summer league starts. Books are closed then.
Tucker was a first rounder though (29). This was supposed to be second round steals.Quote:

Big Baby - Sir Charles light... (Or should I say Heavy?)
Josh McRoberts - Brad Miller
Reshawn Terry - Raja Bell
Correct that, Give McRoberts - Prime Horry - the clutch shots
I'll agree with Carl Landry. Saw him in the tournament in N.O. this year. The guy is a flat out hustler with a good-sized body. If he stays healthy, he'll make an impact.
Gabe Pruitt
Derrick Byars
None since I wasn't drafted
Gabe Pruitt has a great chance to become a near All-Star. If Williams can get his shot and mind right, he'll be up there. I have a feeling he's taking his time with asserting himself on that summer league squad. He may not prove his worth for a while, or not until the NBDL season. I fear he's so sick of hearing about these "selfish" issues, that he's going to defer to a fault, limiting himself in the process.
I was thinking the same thing. He's got real potential in the Suns' system if he can get any PT.Quote:

Winner to date Aggie HoopsFan for going one, two on Landry and Davis, Honorable mention BacktoBasics and ShoogaBear for Davis and Landry respectively.
Well done on Landry and Big Baby, AHF. Very nice. :smokinQuote:

Who wants to help me with the DL draft? ;)
I think AHF deserves a penalty for picking half the second round ... especially a stiff like Jared Jordan. That almost negates the Landry and Davis picks.Quote:

Props to AHF and Shoogarbear
Sheeeeyit, I had Glen Davis drafted in fantasy two years ago. I win.
Then how did he end up on my team this year?Quote:

Nice bump. (Williams was the token homer Spurs fan call).
I had to drop him this past summer.
And 3-4?Quote:

Still, he contributed as much as Josh McRoberts this year :lol
Landry
Was Belinelli a 1st or 2nd round pick for the Warriors. They say he still looks good in practice and should be in the rotation by next year along with Brendan Wright.
