Josh Smith Declares

I think that Josh entering the Nba is the right way to go. He ran over all the kids in the McDonald's All American game and he looks phyiscally ready and he has good size.

 

I am surprised a kid i know who goes there told me josh told him he wasnt going pro. good choice by josh though, he is an amazing player and will have success in the nba

 

Good choice? No way. He is way too raw. He will go early, but he won't produce that much. Yeah, he ran over kids in the McDonalds All American game, but that was an All Star game. No one plays defense. He easily could have used a year in college to develop a real game. Right now, he only uses his athleticism.

 

josh is very good, and will probably have an immediate effect in the nba, although he had a great presence in high school he is a bit small, and will end up playing SF probably.

 

He is a good player with alot of potential but he has some things to work on. First he has a tendency to rely on his jumper too much and not take the ball to basket as often as he should. Defensively he needs to work on becoming more committed. Still doesn?t show great court awareness during games as he tends to make costly mental mistakes.

But he is very athletic and has great shooting touch. He is a very good shot blocker for his height and a good on the ball defender.

In my opinion he has great potential to be a great player in the NBA.

 

Josh is a great player and will be a good pick in the draft, but much like DMiles he could be much, much better IF he goes to college. College will smooth his game out take out all of the rough edges.

 

He's a great player and will go fairly high in the draft. But, whether he is ready or not has yet to be determined. Won't know until you actually see him play.

 

I know most people feel NBADRAFT.NET is not credible and all, but his prediction recently dropped to 11th on their list. Is there any reason for this? Even if they aren't credible there usually is a reason for dropping someone that much..
