The Race for #1...
There are multiple players with a legit shot at #1. DeMar DeRozan seems to be the early favorite for the #1 spot. Physically he is a freak, and his upside is limitless. Some scouts think he could easily be a 25-5-5 player. Brandon Jennings is another possibility for the top spot. Jennings has the ability to score, some scouts liken him to Kevin Johnson, and he has the desire to become a lock down type defender eventually. Blake Griffin is easily the top big man in the draft. He will be a 10-10 guy as a rookie, and he should be a 20-10 guy down the line. Al Farouq-Aminu is a super player even as a rookie, and his upside is pretty high. he reminds a coupe of scouts of Luol Deng. Aminu may be a guy that slips to 5 and may still be better then #1. Stanley Robinson is an excellent athlete who can score inside and defend. His outside shot is questionable, and he may never develop that part of his game. Robinson will probably be more of a B+ C C A C+ guy. James Harden is being compared to Manu Ginobili, which is just ridiculous. He is a very good player, and will be a nice starter in BBS, but he isn't in Manus class.
The Lotto...
Alexey Shved is a super talented offensive player, but he cant D to save his life. GMs are hoping he becomes like Indiana star Rudy Fernandez. Victor Claver is a solid young player that should be a good bench scorer for some lucky team. Nemanja Aleksandrov is a space cadet. He has all the physical ability in the world, but some Gms said they wouldnt take him in Round 1. Austin Daye is so long and has a nice mid range and outside game, but his lack of strength hurts him. He'll need some RC love to be a starter in the BBS.Patrick Patterson is a great defender who should be an intimidater in the BBS. Top 10 pick for sure. Darren Collison very solid PG that should be a starter within 5 years.
The Centers...
Hasheem Thabeet and Kosta Koufos could both be starters in the BBS. Thabeet will be a tremendous shot blocker, while Koufos will be a solid scorer. The rest of the this group is pretty thin, especially Bamba Fall. He is a supreme shot blocker, but he wont do much else for you.
The Power Forwards...
Tyler Hansbrough is a very solid player. He wont be a star, but he will be productive. Alexis Ajinca and Ed Davis are intriguing prospects that may or may not make it big in BBS. Jon Brockman should get a roster spot because of his amazing rebounding ability. Jeff Adrien is another early 2nd round player that could make a team.
The Small Forwards...
Paul Harris is a very solid player that should make some team happy around 15-20. Sam Young is a super athlete that is learning to play away from the basket. Geoff McDermott is a very solid player that should sneak onto a BBS roster.
The Shooting Guards...
Stephen Curry can shoot. Very good young player. Danny Green is a solid 2 way player that could be a rotation player eventually. Gerald Henderson is a combo guard that could become a starting PG given some RCs.
The Point Guards...
Greivis Vasquez has great size for a PG. Dominic James has wonderful leaping ability for a player 5-11. Rodrigue Beaubois is a interesting point guard from France. he is a solid defender with excellent wing span. AJ Price is a sleeper. He had some physical problems in college but they seem to be behind him now.
