Watch out for Blake Stepp in Minnesota. If Cassell doesn't hold up he could end up getting some meaningful minutes, and he will be a solid pro.
steal of the draft is probably chris duhon(he led the duke offense and controlled the deffense if u can control dukes offense and deffense u can play in the league). Jameer Nelson( come on player on the year no more said). Dorrell Wright(some ppl are callin him the next tmac/kobe so we kno he got game)

I got to go watch him Minnesota and the guy couldn't even dribble the ball up the court and this is summer league. I doubt he could make any teams active roster let alone Minnesota's Im Out
Iggy, Jameer, I think the steal of the draft is Andre Iguodala to the Sixers and Jameer Nelson to Orlando...It was just painful to watch Jameer Nelson sit in the green room as high school kids were being called right and left...If Telfair plays next season for Portland (highly unlikly for a HS) I want to see him match up with Nelson...Nelson will take him to school. As for the Sixers getting Iguodala the guys that they were going to trade up to #3 to get falls right in their laps ant #9...Billy King (sixers GM) must have been shocked to find out that Iguodala is there at nine...Also I think Luol Deng will have some teams trying to find out why they didn't pick him (Atlanta Hawks) And finally those Bobcats, who traded up to #2 in hope of their guy Emeka Okafor is on the board...Bearnie MUST have been shocked.
I have to agree <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Wade05:</div><div class="quote_post"> He won't even make there Roster. That guy flat out sucks.

He will make the roster because he can shoot lights out but to say he's the steal of the draft is a strech. My vote for sleeper is Kris Humphries of Utah, #15. A steal usually has to be a higher than a top 10 pick in my mind, so humpries and Synder of Utah fit that mold. They were the best two athletes in the Chicago pre-darft work outs in strengh, leaping, etc. One of those guys will be the steal in 2 or 3 years. I see Humphries being like Z. randolph of the Blazers, a couple years to develop and kick boozer to the curb.
i think overall it was Jammer Nelson. I mean, going at #20? thats rather low. Even though Deng was a good steal too, but he was still pretty high up, #7. Sasha will be pretty good. I saw some of his summer leauge games and he wasn't bad. Just a side note, for people who think Telfair shouldn't have been selected where he should have been, and thinks he should have been lower, then you're wrong because Maruice Cheeks liked Telfair's game during the workouts, and he said that he will most likely pick Telfair.

They called Harold Minor the next Michael Jordan. Just because people call him something doesn't mean he is going to be great, or that we know "he got game." On a side note....I do believe Wright will be good.....but thats not the point. <font face="Book Antiqua">Watch your language, please - CR2</font>
Jameer hands down. I expected him to be at least in top 10... With him being College Player of the Year and all...
Jameer.. Getting a impact player like that at the 20th pick? Thats crazy... some people had him pick as high as 8.
jameer nelson definetely he should have been a lottery pick i can't even believe he was traded away in the first place. Then probably Okafor who i think right now is the best player in the draft. Luol Deng i think will suprise quite a bit of people so i think he was a great steal.
Jameer Nelson without a doubt. That guy is sick and he is only going to get better. I thought he would get drafted at least 10 picks higher. College Player of the Year? What were some teams thinking passing him by. Luol Deng was also a good steal.
Definitely Jameer Nelson, Obviously, he was the AP player of the year wasnt he? and he wont be another Shane Battier, dont get me wrong shane battier is a solid player... other steals i think are iguodala and trevor ariza-ariza will be a good player
Kirk Snyder IMO. He lead an average team (#10 Seed Nevada) past the likes of Michigan State and Gonzaga. He almost lead them past GT! It reminded me somewhat of when Dwyane Wade lead Marquetee (sp?). Don't get me wrong, I am not saying he is Dwyane Wade, but I believe he will be the steal of the draft.
Steals are who i think are, Ariza, Sow, Duhon, Jefferson, David Harrison <--- if he actually tries Also the 2 Euros Portland drafted
I think that the steal of the draft is either Jameer Nelson or Chris Duhon they are poth great PGs and i think they will do well in the NBA. Jameer Nelson reminds me of Baron Davis and Chris Duhon reminds me of T.J. Ford a guy who get a lot of assists and score 10 points a game.
Jameer Nelson reminds you of Baron Davis? Baron's 6-foot-3 and Jameer's 5-foot-10. I've never seen Jameer Nelson dunk in my life (while Davis is a dunking machine for a PG) plus Davis probably outweighs Nelson by 40 pounds. Other than both being PG's I see absolutely no similarities between the two.
Janeer Nelson reminds me of Damon Stoudamire (the way he plays basketball). And Nelson is definitely the steal of the draft IMO
I feel Dorell Wright is the steal of the draft. In a few years when he bulks up and gains a steady J, he can be as good as T-Mac... he's got the most athleticism in the draft, and is very agressive in going to the hole. Miami will keep him for awhile, and I think it'll turn out very good. So ATM, it's not a steal but it later will be when unlocks his full potential.
