guess the player:

NBA Comparison: Mookie Blalock
Strengths: A lightning quick point guard with the ability to penetrate seemingliy at will. Has incredible body control and takes the ball to the basket and finishes exceptionally well for a PG. He has a scorers mentality, but also passes the ball well especially on the dribble drive. Owns great ball handling skills which become lethal combined with his quickness. He has progressed into a solid shooter, that combined with his quickness has made him a very difficult player to defend.

Weaknesses: Still must develop a better basketball understanding. Could stand to put on some weight and add some muscle mass. His outside shot has become better but with improvement in this area, defenders will have to respect that facet of his game which will make it impossible to keep him from getting into the lane. Still must become more under control as he can become erratic at times. His defense still must improve. Must learn to be a complete point guard with the ability to dictate the tempo and get everyone involved.

@Recca Gatsby use Draftexpress.com, they are by far the best site for draft related info. They have Skal as their number 1 in the 2016 mock.

The Kwame Brown one was hilarious

"Great hands" was listed as one of his strengths

some chad ford gems:

CF on Collison: Ugh. We knew they loved him, but I know more than one Sonics fan hoped he was off the board. They needed a low post banger or someone with great size in the post who could also run the floor. Collison has none of that. He was one of my favorite college players, but I really wonder how he'll translate that into a good pro career. Who does he guard? Can he back down anyone? Will he command double teams in the post? The Sonics love him. I'm not sure I do. I would've preferred Illinois' Brian Cook.

CF on David West: Not a bad pick. He's kind of a shorter version of P.J. Brown. But why not take a flier here on Brian Cook? Cook is taller, a more well-rounded player, and could help stretch defenses with his perimeter skills. West will be a solid player. But at No. 18 you could get so much more.

CF on Brian Cook: Great pick for the Lakers.

dude was somewhat right about collison but :dead: on his obsession with brian cook

CF: Barbosa has the potential to be a Gary Payton-like player someday.

CF on Maciej Lampe: The steal of the draft.

:dead:

CF: I think Pavel will end up being the steal of the draft at No. 21. By pick No. 12, there was no one with his upside (with the possible exception of J.R. Smith) left on the board. You think, if he develops, Utah's going to regret trading him away for a future first-round pick? –BTW, after 12 included Al Jefferson.

CF on Dorell Wright: He's a couple of years away, but he reminds me of a young Tracy McGrady type.

CF on Howard over Okafor: Still, I believe the Magic should've taken Okafor. I think Howard has all the skills to be a great player, but does he have the heart?

CF on Araujo: This was probably a little early to grab Araujo, but I understand what the Raptors were thinking. They needed a center in the worst, worst way. Chris Bosh is much more comfortable playing the four. Outside of Okafor, Araujo is the only big guy in the draft ready to play right now. He's strong, aggressive and isn't afraid to beat up people. He'll be a nice addition in Toronto, though he doesn't have the upside of many of the other people on the board (read: Swift and Podkolzine).

dude was obsessed with pavel podkolzine too :dead: shyt on dwight's heart early though :leon:

CF: They needed size in the frontcourt and got two of the top four bigs in the draft with Hilton Armstrong and Cedric Simmons.
CF: I'm not a huge Craig Smith fan, but Loukas Mavrokefalidis is interesting. He has great size and is putting up pretty impressive numbers in Greece.
CF: In 2004, it was Robert Swift. In 2005, it was Johan Petro. This year, they got the rawest one yet, Mouhamed Saer Sene. I understand the appeal. Sene's game resembles Dikembe Mutombo's. He has a huge 7-8 wingspan and an excellent body. But he's years away from contributing. Years

and he was wrong about all 3 sonic big men each year other than they were raw. :heh: he also said minard > martin

I remember NBADraft.net giving an A- grade on the Hawks for drafting Marvin Williams...haha

Maciej Lampe was compared to Dirk Nowitzki...

no wonder why the lampe page was taken down :dead:

Detroit Pistons

det.gif
Round 1: Darko Milicic, F, Serbia-Montenegro (No. 2)
Round 1: Carlos Delfino, G, Italy (No. 25)
Round 2: Andres Gliniadakis, C, Greece (No. 58)
How many teams with the best record in their conference end up with the best big man in the draft and a draft-night steal in Carlos Delfino? By now, you know about Darko, but Delfino will also be important down the road. He's tough, a strong shooter and plays aggressive defense. He reminds me a lot of Michael Finley. He could play an immediate role on the Pistons if he stays here next year. Gliniadakis was a nice pickup at the end of the draft. He's a 7-footer who can actually play. The Pistons will leave him in Greece for a few years and bring him over when he's ready.
Grade: A+

New Jersey Nets

njn.gif
Round 1: Zoran Planinic, G, Croatia (No. 22)
Deals: Traded Kyle Korver (No. 51) to Philadelphia for cash considerations
Did Byron Scott really say that the Nets had Zoran Planinic rated as the top point guard in the draft? Planinic is good, but that may be going a bit far. The great thing about Planinic is his versatility -- taking Planinic is like drafting three guys. He has the experience and the basketball skill to make an impact in year one.
Grade: A-

I don't take that shyt too seriously...

I basically take the comps as the players potential ceiling and then research if they have the work ethic and or character to reach their potential
