Re: Draft '07 for Team USA? Last night I was thinking about this and I thought that the incoming draft class could possibly win the '08 Gold Medal. This draft class would work well in international ballI know some of these guys are not this draft class but will be ready by '08)Greg Oden - Dominant 7'1" center with outstanding defensive skillsMike Conley Jr. - Excellent passer, leader, good scorerChase Budinger - Athletic, unbelievable range, versatileNick Frazekas - Excellent shot for a big man that can go out to the FIBA three point lineBrandan Wright - Athletic, willing defender and teamate, will provide defense and good inside scoringMustafa Shakur - Mature leader, playmakerMarcus Williams - Nice range, can score from anywhereGlen Davis - Rember Baby Shaq from Greece?Kevin Durant - Smooth versatile big man with almost unlimited rangeJulian Wright - Good scorer and can rebound tooJosh McRoberts - A 3 posistion player who can almost (believe it or not) play 4, he also has shooting range out to 20 feetCorey Brewer - Excellent wing defender who can score on a stacked teamThoughts?

He could really help lead the US.I also forgot to put in McRoberts.
Re: Draft '07 for Team USA? Mustafasa? you must mean Mustafa Shakur.McRoberts is a PF not a SF. Not real sure if he's to deserving to be on this team, not very aggresive..Very athletic and has all the skills, he just doesn't want it bad enough.Horford, Hansbrough, Rodney Stuckey, Daequan Cook, would all be good additions also..

He played guard in high school, most likely BEFORE his growth spurth. He's big, goofy, unathletic, and slow. If he's close to playing SG, then I'm close to getting into Jessica Alba's pants.

Re: Draft '07 for Team USA? Haha I get so close to putting you on ignore, until I realize how much your posts make me laugh, so I never do. Anyways, this is my last evidence supporting my statement, I'm done arguing with you forever, I'll just laugh at your posts. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Has good footwork but isn?t quick enough to play anywhere but the post at the next level ? His foot speed and athleticism wont stand out on the next level ... Though he has incredible instincts and feel for the game having played as a guard early in his high school career, some of those attributes are lost because he lacks the quickness and foot speed to get by players off the dribble on the next level ... Though he does have his moments blocking shots and making stops, he isn?t known as a defensive presence ? Also must become more disciplined defensively as he can be foul prone ...</div>

Maybe you should watch him play every game like I do and you would know that. He has excellent size, long arms, extremely quick, great court vision, has shown a huge amount of maturity and leadership this season, good shooter and slasher, and I could go on about him.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Pacers fan forever @ Jan 15 2007, 07:44 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Do you guys really believe NBA draft net?I know more than they do.</div>Are you really that retarded or are you just tring to piss people off?
