<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (kingjamez @ Dec 27 2006, 01:49 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Joakim Noah.</div> Well, while I don't think he'll be a star like some people think, I still think he will be a pretty good player. An NBA starter, double-double potential (or somewhere around there), defense, and leadership. I'm saying Josh McRoberts. I made a thread about him a while back in the NCAA section, saying he was a very overrated prospect. He has a lot of different skills, but he doesn't take advantage of them. He is way too passive and he is not aggressive whatsoever offensively. I don't think he'll be as good as people make him out to be. Decent, but nothing special.
Greg Oden will be good, check. Kevin Durant will be good, check. Joakim Noah will be solid, check. Nobody in the top few picks really stands out to me. I think a team that picks Hasheem Thabeet or Julian Wright could be very dissapointed. Thabeet is very raw and Julian Wright has flaws on offense. If Yi Jianlian comes out he will be a popular bust pick, but nobodys really seen him. I don't really care for Aaron Gray, I don't think many teams are stupid enough to take him top 8. Nobody really stands out as a bust pick (in part because of the lack of international players and HS guys coming in). I think because of college some guys have been outed (Thaddeus Young for example, well for right now anyway he's not doing too hot).

Again, can you people give explanations to your posts? I wish I could post names for all my posts to, it would be much easier...come on.
I think that Thabeet is most likely to be a bust. On nbadraft.net they have him goin 5th, but he is extremely raw and really needs to work on his offense. I don't think he will make much of an impact his first few years in the NBA and I think they really overrate him.
Thabeet. I saw him play once not too long ago, just wasn't all that impressed. He's got tons of potential..but just way too raw to be a top 10 pick.
I don't watch my college so I can't really say, but Noah I think is going to be a bust. I here people saying Noah a lot, but I don't think he be as good as some might think. Did not see anything special in Noah the very little stuff I seen.

Teams dont just pick a random player and if he doesn't pan out no sweat off their backs. Every pick matters.

Thabeet should be in the draft. He'll be a top 5 pick if he does barring any rediculously good play from other big men or rediculously bad play by thabeet. He looks like a very promising nba big man

The guy still has so much to work no before I think you can really evaluate how he'll do in the NBA.
