Draft Prospect: Derrick Byars

[Russ]

TPark invokes the Ghost of Cory Alexander

How about Chris Carawell?

[Vito Corleone]

I was watching the player profiles on NBA on Demand here are some of the highlights they mentioned.

He is able to hit the NBA 3 and take his guy off the dribble
He is a definite leader
He is a guy who takes pride in defense and often was asked to guard the other teams best offensive guy.
He is a hard worker that takes a lot of pride in improving his game.

He is 6'7 225 and one of those guys that can become another Josh Howard type player.


IMO this is the guy that is worth moving up to take.

As of right now DX as him going one spot before us to the Pistons, while they have Almond going to the Bobcats at 22

The more I hear, the more I like Byars.

Honestly at 28 the Spurs could do no wrong with Byars OR Dudley.

Byars though sounds more athletic, and a tad longer.

Tough choice.

Hopefully either Dudley or Byars are available and the Spurs take him.

[Mr. Body]

Byars destroyed Florida in the conference season and had a of a tournament. It took a questionable pivot by Jeff Green for Georgetown to get past Byars' Vanderbilt team.

[MoSpur]

Byars and Dowdell would be a very good draft for the Spurs.

[Mr. Body]

Morris Almond vs. Derrick Byars =

Byars, 3 pts, 5 fouls
Almond, 44 pts, 12 rebs, 17-19 fts

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

[T Park]

Yeah Almond is going before 28 though.

No way he lasts that long.

[Gros Membres!]

I could go for Byars. I belive Detrot selected a Guard already. Can't imagine them going guard again.

[SenorSpur]

Spurs should have taken him at 33 instead of Williams

[ploto]

Portland ends up with him, too.

[jdaveah]

I wanted him at 28, then 33, then the Spurs take my least favorite player in the draft, then Byars keeps slipping. Portland is going to be fantastic.

[wildbill2u]

Anyone know why Byars slipped so far down the draft? This was a real tumble down the hill. That many teams can't be wrong can they?

[Mr. Body]

Portland ends up with him, too.

Didn't they trade him to Philadelphia? Byars will be a Sixer.

[MoSpur]

A lot of teams slept on a lot of good players in the past. Byars might be one that teams might regret not picking up. We'll see. Maybe he isn't going to to be all that. Who knows?
