Official '09 Draft Prospects Thread

[.GR]

Talk about the top prospects heading into the 2009 NBA Draft.

I think Teague from Wake Forest will and should be the first player taken in the draft. I really think the kid is going to be a STAR in the league and I really hope we take a good long look at him.

 

[The Young One]

These are the only players im cosigning for who I think can be impact players. I tyo give Jeff teague,Blake Griffin,Brandon Jennings,Demar derozan and jonny flynn.

Nick calathes and danny green and tyreke evans and jrue holiday will be solid pros as well as james harden.

I reckon Patrick Mills has a shot of being a 1st rounder if he declares

Hasheem Thabeet?

 

[The Young One]

Oh yeah Tyler smith and Bj mullens and gerald henderson should be solid.

Hasheem Thabeet?

I see hasheem being a poor mans mutombo. But yeah him and austin daye get my stamp of approval. Manny harris is nice too. Patrick patterson is too.

I just feel this draft is gonna have a bunch of future role players getting drafted in the lottery.

Teague? First pick? Really? hahahahaha
He's definitely going to break the lottery, maybe even top 10, but in no way is this skinny little PG going to be the first pick. I will say though... he has a lot of potential, if he starts to hustle defensively (he looks REAL lazy on the defensive end), and begins to think about his next move more on offense (I thought it was an exaggeration when I read reports... but watching him play he actually does look wild), he could become a cheaper version of Chris Paul. That's a stretch though.

Outside of Teague, Griffin, Derozan, and Harden I don't really like this up-coming draft. Just another one of those drafts that fills team needs with solid role players.

B.J. Mullens needs to stay in college seemingly all four years, but I heard that he's going to declare no matter what because of his families financial situation. Pretty sad, looks nothing more like an early Andrew Bynum (the one that came straight outta HS that I was pissed we took at the 10 spot) at this point, but by looking at it like that, Bynum is developing into one of the leagues better centers, I think the same will happen to Mullens in a couple of years.

I agree with Whisper about the lack of depth in this years draft.

I think only Griffin, Harden, and Jennings have REAL Superstar abilities.

The rest will be solid players, great 2nd/3rd options at best.

I do think Terrence Williams of Louisville, is going to be a steal if his stock doesnt rise....

Williams might be a shock.
Properly developed he can be something.
