Who is the best rookie not named Beasley or Rose?
The top two is really lock down at this stage.
It's just a matter of whether or not its chicago and miami making the choices after the trade smoke clears.
So who's the best of the rest?
Mayo?
Alexander?
Love?
Gordon?
Seems there are heaps of guys in the 6'3-6'4 range and they will find it tough in the NBA unless they go to a team that doesn't need a tradish point man.
You can get away being that height and playing SG in college, almost impossible in the NBA. They will play against guys just as quick but 2-3 inches taller..
So after all this draft talk, is this really a good draft at all? Is the reason there is so much debate over who is going where because they are all good players- or coz they are all average at best..
I see guards playing out of position, centers that need some massive time to develop, if they ever do, and forwards that are tweeners or skilled but lack the athletic side.
Some players i think are NBA ready-
DJ Augustine- no superstar, not even a star, just a solid pro who could round out a solid NBA team. No real weakness is his real strength.
Brandon Rush- Got the height to play SG, can lock down defend and hit the trey. Again, never gonna be a star- but could be so valuable to a team. Think Kendall Gill.
Darrell Arthur- Modern foward in that he is more face up, has potential and with increased demand of the NBA he could be a great rebounding, running PF. Joe Smith?
Roy Hibbert- legit size, coached well in college.
