Marvin Williams aint no tweener. he's that good. he's got athleticism. his 3 point jumpshot looks promising. hes strong to play the 3, very quick to play the 4. his defense could use some work, but who doesn't? his defense is considered par-level, so i dont see that as bad. he's antawn jamison, just has more athleticism and potential to be even better.

Keep an eye out for Duke's 1-2 Freshman Guard, Demarcus Nelson. He'll come to the draft not this year but maybe after 2 Years. I heard he's very solid.

Nate "The Great" Robinson, 5'9" Dunk Machine. Watch out for him this man has tackled Washington Huskies Football for awhile (Cornerback) and has taken up Washington Huskies Hoops, Expect him to be an Athletic Earl Boykins. 6th Man. (Y)

Jona, Nik Caner-Medley is really inconsistent. He made some poor decisions in the Duke game which almost cost the Terps the game. He'll probably be a second round pick his senior year.

Speaking of Duke, Ewing will probably be mid-second round. He's been decent at his first year at the point, but his shot's really streaky and his game is still fit better for the shooting guard position. He's not that good.

Redick = overrated! Sweet shot, sweet release, great at moving without the ball -- and that's where it ends. None of his other basketball attributes are fit for the NBA. He's a poor-man's Steve Kerr if there ever was one.

Nelson's got a way to go. He'll have a nice four years at Duke.

I don't expect Schenscher to do anything at all either....I'm just curious to see how he goes and if he can stick on an NBA roster....he'll struggle to make a roster, but I meant it'll be interesting to see....

and yeah, Bogut is only 6'10"....he's probably 7'0" with shoes....

all these foreign guys disappear by the time the draft enters....when they realise their not ready to learn English and that their better off in their own country(or get stopped by their own country).......

Im hoping LaMarcus Aldridge enters aswell....hes got alot of potential to be a special big man........
JJ Reddick is very overrated......n I dont see a 5"9 getting draft unless hes extremely special......but thats late second at best specially after seeing what happen to Speedy Claxton.....

another guy to watch for is Sean Banks....hes sort of a bulked up Carmelo Anthony.....he'll be one of those real handy players imo...

Im suprised to see so many tarheels.....theirs like 4 or 5 of them predicted in all the draft sites....I dont think 1 college has had so many possible drafted rookies in 1 single draft......

'Andrew Bogut is already putting on a show for the NBA.

In front of about 10 pro scouts, Utah's 7-foot sophomore had 31 points and 13 rebounds to lead No. 14 Utah to its 17th straight win, 71-62 over Wyoming on Monday night.

Wyoming single-teamed the big Australian, hoping to shut down the rest of the Utes. The strategy failed.

``I just got the ball inside with 1-on-1 coverage. I thought I could score every time that I got it and I did,'' said Bogut, who was 11-for-16 from the field

Scouts are turning out for Utah games as the season winds down and Bogut continues to impress. He got his 17th double-double of the season and just missed his career-high of 33 points, set Saturday in a win over Colorado State.

Bogut led the Utes in scoring, rebounding and assists (4) Monday and was 9-for-11 from the free throw line. '

When does Utah play some quality teams? Do all of the best teams enter into the NCAA tourney thingy... can someone explain how it works?

aldridge is out for season. that'll scare off many potential teams. he'll be listed as "injury proned" despite just one big injury. he's dropped his stock even more (not really a special guy this year. gibson is doing better than him, and aldrdige was suppose to come in and dominate) so he'll probably wait til next year.

nate robinson is THAT GOOD. he's got a jumpshot now. at 5'9", he can jump and dunk the shit out of the ball. im amazed how well he can score (scored 20ppg for through 10 games of beginning of season) and he's averagin a steady 18. he's dropping in the usual dimes. its weird because they play him at the 2. he's good.. not good enough to merit 1st round, but he's an amazingly awesome player.

sean banks.. hmm.. although getting comparrisons to carmelo, he's probably closer to carmelo's bad sides. the potentials there, but he's got such a bad history. think qyntel woods. look how he nearly fell out of the nba. he's going to be drafted 2nd round at best.

UNC will probably have 3 guys in the draft. jawad williams (this guys an amazing ball player.. look out for him in the nba scenes as a terrific 6th man. think antwan jamison when he was on the mavs), rashad mccants, and raymond felton. marvin'll stay for one more year at UNC to improve his stock. because his stats aren't eye poppin' he'll probably base it on the draft camps (if he chooses to go or not). sean may will stay til senior year because he's considered undersized. he's a talented big man in college, but at 6'8"-6'9" he's just an average PF. if he's lucky, he'll turn into a boozer-type player.
