    Dwight Howard I suppose since I hear so much about him. I hope Sebastian does well because lotta anaylsts are saying that he won't do very well which I believe myself. He's so small, but I don't know. Who knows, but Dwight Howard should be the best. No Lebron, but pretty solid.

    Well, Dwight will probably get the most playing time, so that will help him out alot. Depends on the teams they get drafted to and the situation they are in.

    Yeah, it would definately have to Dwight, if I had to pick anyone else, I would say Josh Smith or maybe Shaun Livingston.

    Telfair and Howard are really close. The both dominate at different things. Telfair will be the first point to jump straight to the NBA.


    I also like Josh Smith.

    Rudy Gay isn't going to the NBA Draft this year man.

    I am going to agree to disagree with you guys that Telfair will have one of the best seasons for HSers.

    I will rank them like this :

    1) Dwight Howard - Will get a chance to play whereever he goes.
    2) Josh Smith - Really raw. Really, really raw. Amazing athlete.
    3) Shaun Livingston
    4) JR Smith
    5) Al Jefferson
    6) Sebastian Telfair
    7) Dorell Wright
    8) Robert Swift - True center, scouts love that about him.
    9) LaMarcus Aldridge - Really hope he goes to college.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Telfair will be the first point to jump straight to the NB</div>

    Well, not really. You can consider LeBron James a PG, and Shaun Livingston is a PG. Telfair is the shortest player to ever make the jump. The shortest before him was Deshawn Stevenson at 6'5".

    My top HSers:

    1. Dwight Howard-top ranked HS without a doubt
    2. Shaun Livingston-needs some meat on his bones, very skinny
    3. J.R. Smith- great shot, some say it resembles JJ Reddicks
    4. Josh Smith-explosive athlete
    5. Sebastian Telfair-needs height
    6. Robert Swift-big center, will get valuable playing time

    Also, Dorell Wright isn't in the draft for sure. He might pull out to go to DePaul. But I think he will stay in.

    All of you gusy saying Telfair will be the best out of HS and he's close to Howard, yeah right. We all know Telfair because of the hype around him. One disadvantage comes with him, his height. He should have did what TJ Ford did. Go to colege for a couple years. Telfair had an opportunity to play under a great coach, Pitino, and Pitino could have taught Telfair many things.

    If you want to hear about someone stupid declaring, it's Donta Smith. He's not projeted to be picked at all but he decides to go and delcare. Pitino, coach of UL where Smith has committed to go, said that it's one of the top 5 worst moves he's ever seen. Donta needs to realize, he's NOT going to be picked and go and play under Pitino.

    There are worse moves. How about this move, Daryl Hill from St. John's. Thats right. He declared. One of the worst decisions I have ever heard of. If you look at the college list of declared players, alot of names, you will say "Who the hell is that" because you have never heard of alot of them.

    i dont even consider telfair and livingston or jr smith to be on the list.if u go on draftcity, it'll tell u that jr smith got DOMINATED by kirk snyder and luke jackson.hes too weak against COLLEGE players, i dont think he can compete in the nba this year. livginstons i heard alotta nba analysists say that hes going to be great some day but defintely not next year cuz he is too weak, way too weak. and telfair, too short and i just dont think a high skooler can handle being a point guard(lebron is way more talented than telfair).i think the players that can make immediate impact on their team is dwight howard and josh smith.
