derozen is pretty raw ...the guy is tooo explosive... i would take him as low as high as a 7, and not much higher, about a 12 for harden.

derozen + harden = henderson (:lol: I am a homer but not fucking delusional)

reason this isn't summer camp man if he is going to be a lotto pick I don't think not looking at the ground while you dribble is gonna be enough.

I can dribble without looking at the ground!

CAN I HAZ LOTTERY PICK?

I'm pretty sure I've seen DeRozan execute a bank shot and a bounce pass as well

So b.0.b. if the Wiz can't get Blake griffin which prospect would you be most interested in?

Rubio.
I guess if it isn't either of those, I would accept one of the many point guards out there. Don't think they need a dude like Thabeet with JaVale and Haywood already on the roster. If it's a number five or higher, trade it. Fuck another Jarvis Hayes

bringinoutbangerz · Post by **bringinoutbangerz** » Mon Mar 23, 2009 10:20 am

higher meaning, 5-15, not 1-5

HomeSkillet · Post by **HomeSkillet** » Mon Mar 23, 2009 11:05 am

It sure does seem that every 3 months or so I check on Rubio and Every 3 months he gets better.

I have a real hard time judging foot speed for guys in Europe thought

he is unbelievably skilled I can't believe he is barely 19

Anyone think VCU's Maynard (sp?) has any chance of being drafted. He looks too weak to play in the NBA, but he's a gamer and can beat people off the dribble. I'm thinking late 2nd round.

I know its probably his hair but I always think 'Pistol' Pete Maravich when I see Rubio - in a good way I mean

DoH his nick name is LA PISTOLA

both pete and nash were elite shooters coming out of school. (obviously i didn't see pistol pete coming out of school but all reports were that he was an elite long range shooter).

rubio still needs to work on his shot.

that being said, i heart him.

btw, BOB and Homeskillet, do not front on Jordan Hill. He'd be a nice consolation prize just in case you guys don't get Blake.

is he soft? I don't want soft. i have to admit I haven't seen him play, but dang do we need a workman like PF (other than AJ obviously)

Jordan Hill?

soft?

Let me tell you a story about the man, Jordan Hill, that will quell all questions about his toughness (there's actually only been one query and it's been from you) and solidify his status as a TRU WARRIOR LIKE RON ARTEST.

I watch pretty much half the Arizona games every year because one of my boys is an alumni and gets FSN college. so i roll to his house, burn a j, might down a few beers. One of the games, they play Washington. It's a close game. With around 10 minutes left in the game, Jordan Hill comes down on someone's foot......thus severely twisting his ankle. I cringe. I'm like "no way he comes back from that....he's out for a couple weeks at least". it looks that bad. My boy is depressed for all of 2 seconds and then smiles and is like "don't worry, he'll be back before the end of the game". i have this

look on my face. like "dude, you didn't see him twist his ankle every which way just right now?" 2 and a 1/2 minutes pass by when Chase Budinger fouls out. 2 minutes later, Jordan Hill comes out of the locker room, hopping to the scorer's table. By this time Washington has a double digit lead but Hill don't care. My boy is going crazy "THATS MY NIGGA". Dude scores 9 more points ON ONE FUCKING LEG. ONE LEG!!!!! Finishes the game with 27 and 10. Zona loses by 5 but Hill achieves Adamantium Skeleton status. Apparently he's done things like this before judging from my boys reaction......but i haven't seen nearly as many Zona games as he has.

Jordan Hill is fucking gully. Top 5 pick easily. Thing is, he's still learning the game because he didn't start playing organized ball till he was a sophmore in high school.

Draftexpress projects Hill's best case scenario as Wilcox with better rebounding.

kinda unfair but i can see where they are coming from considering Wilcox coming into the draft, also didn't play organized ball until fairly late in high school.

thing is, Hill is much more offensively polished then Wilcox was at this point in their careers, respectively. Wilcox just used his athleticism to get his offensive production in his sophomore year in maryland. Hill has a baby hook, a turn around jump shot, plus he has a nice elbow jump shot he'll pull out to keep you honest.

Gregg Popabitch1 · Post by **Gregg Popabitch1** » Mon Mar 23, 2009 7:55 pm

NBADraftnet compares him to bosh which i also think is unfair because i project him to be better rebounding wise but not as proficient offensively.

JustDuWitt · Post by **JustDuWitt** » Mon Mar 23, 2009 8:30 pm

Sam Young is nice...will definitely be a 15 ppg scorer as soon as he steps on the court.

Johnny Flynn is the best point guard out there imo, dude was going up against NBA talent guards all season and has been at the top of his game this past month.

Earl Clark is nice, needs to work on his post moves a little bit, but I could see him being a superstar.

I'm not sold on Teague, Aminu, Jennings, Monroe, or Hill, although I think they all have potential to be solid players. I just dont see any of them being "game-changers."

Willie Warren is nice, Holiday i think should stay at least another year.

Terrence Williams, Dejuan Blair, Gerald Henderson, Chase Budinger I think will all be remarkable, second-option/specialist, players.

Why no talk of AJ Price? He's gonna be a steal wherever he goes.

you get a decent assessment off of youtubes but try to get your hands on game tape. or just watch the sweet 16 game against Louisvillethis weekend. It should be a good test since he's going up against pretty good frontcourt players like Samuels, Clark, and Jennings.

Oh I'm not planning on missing any of the sweet 16, but i just haven't had time to be my normally super sports nerd self this past year

BJ Mullens is such a fag for coming out. I'm hoping he'll be a complete bust, just like every other white 7 footer that enters the league.

If you have HBO check out the latest episode of "Real Sports". There is a feature on Brandon Jennings. Pretty interesting.

Duke was all around shitty but Elliot Williams had the dunk of the tournament so far.
