Chris Duhon

I've learned not to really trust NBADraft.net too much. Before his junior year, Duhon was a top five pick on their mock draft. Now he's a mid-second round. I just don't get it. But anyways...

College: Duke University
Class: Senior
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 190

Draft Position: Late 1st round to Mid 2nd round
Strenghts: Absolute ballhawk, has Gary Payton like defensive quickness, great team leader

Hakim Warrick
James White ( )
Royal Ivey

[Amphatoast]

NBA Position: Point Guard
College: Duke University
Class: Senior
Height: 6'11"

just making sure, is he 6'11" or 6'1"? If he is 6'11" then mismatch every game he plays against a PG.

Name: Darius Rice
Birthdate: 10/16/82
Ht: 6'10
Wt: 215lbs
High School: Lanier
College: Miami, Senior
Hometown: Jackson, MS
Projected Draft Position: Late 1st to early 2nd. I reckon mid to late 1st, he has a good jumpshot and is a good all-round athlete. Intelligent basketballer and could cause math-up problems for smaller Forwards at the 3 position. Dead-Eye 3 point shooter.

Not very good defensively and needs to work on passing. Ball handling and patience on offense is average, but must improve to succed on a higher level.

NBA Comparison: Glen Rice( A more athletic version)
Fact: Related to NFL Legend Jerry Rice, in fact hes his nephew.
