a white PG who played for Marist & led the NCAA in assists the last 2 seasons....he's a pass first PG who is more of your old school PG....

he could go anywhere from very late 1st Round to undrafted free agent rookie....I don't think he will go in 1st Round, but wouldn't be surprised to see someone snatch him up in the 2nd Round....

a recent article on Jared Jordan:

You could count Aflalo as a PG. He is 6'5" but he could easily play the PG. Anyway, why didn't you put Brooks in as one of the top PG's lol.

Reading about Jordan's ability to set up an offense and not really having to be a "star" per se, he sounds like a good fit in LA. They desperately need a PG who can distribute and find guys on offense.

But then again, the rest of the league could use him just as well.

Hmm, tried not to sound like a Laker jocker, didn't turn out that well I think.

LOL i still arn't to hyped on ur suggestion that he is the next Gilbert Arenas Because Arenas was a ONLY defensive player with no other skills, whereas Brooks is a SHOCKING defender from what i have heard /read/seen and he is known for his shooting, Ball handling and speed and i definatley agree that Affalo could be a good PG/SG

Yeah saying that Brooks will be next Agent 0 is a bit exagerated, but I still think he will have a long career in the NBA and I hope that it happens with the Blazers :D

Keep an eye out for the Italian Marco Belinelli. nbadraft.net says that he is a comparison to Ray Allen and has a great jump shot (of course, if he is a Ray Allen type player).

Yeh the Italien boy which i have heard a lot about, he sounds like a great player and i think he will definately be a player which will turn into a Reggie Miller (probably not as good) type player with the type of Peja Stojackovic Mentality. I really can't wait for the draft this year i am into it more then ever before and i just can't wait (Y)

What do you think about Javaris Crittenton I really like the sound of him, a great skill set which includes a superior and Tremendous combination of size, athleticism and playmaking ability. A awsum Quick first step which is combined Excellent vision and passing skills. As well as this being 6-5 His size allows him to see over defenders and make passes that the average 6-2 PG could not and he can also post up (Y)

Stojakovic mentality? Then he won't be a great player.
HE'S USING HYPNOSIS!

I can easily say Oden and Durant but lets not forget about the others.

( Not in order )

- Yi Jianlian
- Big Three except Noah. ( Brewer & Horford )
- Thaddeus Young
- Javaris Crittenton
- Derrick Byars
- Daequan Cook
- Rodney Stuckey
- Morris Almond
- Sun Yue

It's easier to go word-for-word of NBADraft.net if you just copy and paste.

Anyway, I love Crittenton, but he's got some pretty high bust potential. If I was a GM picking in the mid 1st round, maybe as high as 14, I would pick him. He could become a very, very good player in this league, but he's a high risk/high reward type pick.

I think every mock draft that had Daequan Cook going in the very late 1st round/early second is stupid. He's going alot higher than that, too talented a player.
