All of these tall pgs get sooo hyped up. Any tall player who plays a posistion shorter than his height will be overhyped. Reminds me exactly of Shaun Livingston. This guy looks like a good prospect though

You say 'all these tall PG's', which tall PG's have been overhyped?

I really was only refering to Shaun pretty much. ANd SHaun had no cofidence, no fire to succed. He was overhyped

What they did and showed in HS justified the hype. Saying those two are busts and won't pan out is accurate, guys like Rodney White and Kedrick Brown are guys that were probably overhyped.

How was Livingston overhyped? He's still a very young player. He hasn't gotten a chance to shine playing behind Sam Cassell and he suffered a very brutal injury that had many people questioning whether he would play again. He's showed determination in recovering. I mean, give him a chance to get his feet wet before you say he was overhyped. He's never averaged 30 mins a game yet in his career.
And being a tall point guard is a plus cause you have a matchup problem with other players, taller PGs are known to be true playmakers cause of there courtvision and they are able to play multiple positions...so its easy to see why tall PGs are attractive to teams cause alotve them turnout to be good playmaking PGs.

If they aren't in a mock, they might have the profile listed under their 'top 100 juniors' ect...lists...A lot of players just don't have profiles made up.
Well there's a player I was expecting to see in the '09 mock but he's not in it so I wanted to see if he even had a profile yet and I thought there was a list of all the NBA prospect profiles somewhere.
Here BCB, got you a list:Lebron JamesSun YueLarry HughesRicky RubioTracy McGradyJohnathan Bender (Sp)There!

All those over guys are SG/SF's who can bring the ball up, they aren't PG's.

John Bender was never a PG in any stage of basketball he played. Ugh.
