[imgl]http://www.eurobasket.com/photos/Biedrins_Andris.jpg[/imgl]1. Andris Biedrins. Biedrins is a rarity. He is certain he will enter the draft, and he will be a lottery pick. He's a pure power forward, a lefty with a good frame. He is 6-11, athletic and a terrific shot blocker, with a mean streak not usually seen in kids his age. He runs the floor and has a fairly polished back-to-the-basket game. <font color="Blue">NBA Comparison -- Kenyon Martin</font> More Player Info ============ <font size="1">http://www.nbadraft.net/profiles/andrisbiedrins.asp http://www.hoopshype.com/draft/andris_biedrins.htm http://www.draftcity.com/andrisbiedrins.htm</font> <font color="RoyalBlue">Projected Pick -- 4th overall to 8th overall</font> <font color="Blue">VIDEOS:</font> <font size="1">http://159.148.191.70/galerija/basketbols/...is-Biedrins.mpg</font> <font size="1">http://159.148.191.70/galerija/basketbols/...is-Biedrins.mpg</font>
A lefty pure PF huh? Plus a 7'0 guy at that? Hhhm. Well he needs to develop his offensive game more. His rebounding and blocking abilities doesn't scream Ben Wallace so he needs to have an offensive game of a KMart in order to be effective. He's another project.

I'm going to quote myself: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">He's another project.</div> Yes, sounds like Darko.
From what I've heard, he's more like Chris Bosh. I don't know anyone who's actually seen him, but from the reviews we've all read that's the impression I get of him. I think him being a "project" depends on the team that drafts him. For example, if Washington or Phoenix draft him then he'll probably come in and start right away. However, if he slips to the Cavaliers or Warriors like some project him doing, he'll probably be a bench player his first few years and be labled a "project". Anyway, at least that's how I see it.
risky i have heard he is a Chris Bosh type player. he definitly is a huge risk but if he is gonna be as good as chris bosh is i would pick him in a heart beat
I have also heard he is a Chris Bosh type player. Long arms and all. I heard that he is a blocking machine, and loves Defense. I think he will be a star, He greatly improved his game last year, and I would lvoe to see him in Washington alongside Kwame.
Well, he's better than Milicic... AND, he really proved himself against good competition... Something Darko never did...
