Funny NBA Draft 06 - Bargnani #1 Tip
Today is draft day in the NBA.
Euro Andrea Bargnani is tipped by 7 of 8 polled hoops sites to go at #1 to the Raptors.
There hasn't been a draft in recent memory with more speculation about who the No. 1 pick will be. Finally, on the day of the draft, we are starting to get a clear idea of who the No. 1 pick might be, as seven of our eight mock drafts have Andrea Bargnani at the top.Tyrus Thomas is tipped to go #2 to the Bulls followed by Aldridge, Gay, Morrison, Roy and Williams.
Bargnani is a 20 yo 6'10" (ESPN says 7'1") Italian playing for Benetton Treviso in the Italian A-league with a 2005/06 scoring average of 11.6 PPG.
According to Eurobasket.com, he has "very good athleticism for a player of his size. Very skilled offensive player with a lot of solutions to score: shoots well from any distance, hits the three with good accuracy, can beat his defender off the dribble and finish a fastbreak after running the court well. Fluid shooting mechanics. Has a quick release."There's also the pre-draft fashion gallery as well as historical draft fashion (my favourite, Larry Johnson or Michael Finley already looking like he's 60 years old. No wait, what about Samaki Walker's hat?! Steve Nash's tie? Actually, you'll quickly learn that nothing dresses down a suit like a cap.
