For our next two prospects we head back to America, this time bringing in a Umass product
and a player who has been playing overseas lately, but has come back to enter the draft.
"Hustle" possibly the best word to define Jing Xu's game.
Having played a lot of Ultimate Frisbee for Umass you can see Jing's abilities from this translate into the way he plays ball.
Playing as a handler in Ultimate, Jing has great vision which makes him an automatic PG.
Jing has amazing hustle, most likely due to the hard diving etc involved in Ultimate Frisbee.
While not having amazing skills in any area of his game, Jing has the determination and IQ to bring a range abilities to his team.
Whilist not being super athletic like many guards in the league today, Jing has great strength
this will allow him to overpower many other guards in the league.
Projected Draft Position: Late First Round to Early Second Round
Best Case Scenario: Manu Ginobili
Worst Case Scenario: Lindsey Hunter
Most Likely Case: Manu, less scoring more hustle, more hair.
"Jing of all trades" Jing can porvide whatever his team need, the important jumper to the dive for the loose ball..
Sam Anurak...... the name rolls off the toungue,
and thank god its easy to say as if projections are right this kid is gonna be something special.
Only one year out of highschool, Anurak decided to test the waters in Europe for a year while he waited to become elligible for the draft.
Bouncing round a few clubs, before returning back to the states to await training camps and workouts,
Sam made a reputatuion as an amazing ball handler with court vision compared to Magic Johnson.
Standing at 6'9" Sam is a very interesting prospect to play the Point in the league.
Despite standing so tall Anurak has a great first step and his lateral quickness is amazing.
The only real downside to his game at this stage is his shooting, which although ok
is very streaky and defenders are still not respecting his shot too much, rather sagging to play the drive.
However, at only 19 and with all the basic mechanics down pat there is still plenty of time to work on his shooting.
Projected Draft Position: Mid Lottery to Mid 20's.
Best Case Scenario: Magic Johnson with more athleticism
Worst Case Scenario: Shaun Livingston
Most Likely Scenario: Shaun Livingston with more strength and scoring ability.
At 6'9" and with such great athleticisim its scary to think this kid is most likely gonna play point in the league.
We managed to get both these prospects in for a workout
and boy did they impress us with their enthusiasim.
While neither really showed us anything we didnt know, we were impressed with Jings shooting,
which while we knew it was solid, he showed us that is will be a better asset in the league than we thought.
Previous to this workout we were a bit worried with Anurak's range on his jumper,
however he he managed to knock down a few nice tirples during the one on one drills,
although it is still apparent he is prefering to drive on almost every possestion which is fine until the defender stops defending his jumper
making it harder for him to get into the lane.
Overall both proved that they deserve their current draft projections, and we wouldnt be supprised if they get taken a little earlier.
Sam made sure we knew he could get up, we expect to see this kid in the dunk contest. || Jing's has obviously been working on his shooting, this could up his stock as a few teams were hesitant about this area.
as nlsc draftees for that draft will be decided at the end of this season 
For the playoff you can gain points by guessing the outcomes of each match in each round.
Oops I fixed it. Wasnt thinkin.
