    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">According to several league sources, Villanova guard Randy Foye still is likely to be one of those first 10.

    Foye has been projected as a top-10 selection by many teams all spring, and his workouts with numerous NBA teams have done nothing to dispel that forecast. Some teams have him going ninth, where Golden State is slated to pick, or 10th, the spot held by Seattle.

    Though Foye has said he thinks he can play point guard in the NBA, a lot of teams project him as a shooting guard or, at best, a combo guard. That means he'd have to compete against Jason Richardson with Golden State, or Ray Allen in Seattle if drafted by either of those teams. If he becomes a pro point guard, he'd have to battle with Luke Ridnour in Seattle and teenager Monta Ellis with the Warriors.

    "I was really impressed with him," one team executive said of the 6-foot-4 Foye, who's already worked out for the Celtics (who have the seventh pick in the draft), Rockets (picking eighth), Warriors, Sonics and Sixers.

    "His calmness and that confidence in himself, he's seeing a different picture for himself" in the NBA, the executive said. "It was almost a borderline cockiness. In interacting with the kid, he's just cool. He likes the game."

    Foye also may want to play point guard because it's a relatively weaker group this year than shooting guard - a strong bunch that includes Memphis' Rodney Carney and Arkansas' Ronnie Brewer, the son of former Razorbacks star Ron Brewer. Both Carney and Brewer could be top-10 picks, and they certainly won't slide out of the lottery group.</div>

    yeep..he's going to have a great NBA career
    I can see him being like a Chauncy Billups type of player in the future
    and IMO he is a PG rather than an SG and is a much better passer than Marcus Williams
