Besides Kevin Durant, who is the most unique/different player in this draft? I think it's Julian Wright. He can dish the ball, run the floor, and finish. Very versatile, and he can do everything not great, but well. He's got long arms and athleticism which benefits him on defense. He's got a soft touch around the basket and can finish at the rim. The only problem with him is that he isn't a good shooter, and he's a tweener.
I want to say Jared Dudley, but Jason Smith seems pretty unique because he is almost completely a perimeter player at 7-feet. Yi is pretty different as well for the same reasons and in that he is the first Chinese player with that skillset to make the NBA.

Verts are only a reflection of one day camp. Maybe he was sore, maybe he was injured, maybe he was tired........ Anyone who's seen Spencer Hawes knows he's a very athletic player, just look at his shotblocking

I do remember in one of the college dunk contests a while back where this foreigner white dude just blew all of the other dunkers out the gym...this guy was doing everything in the book. Damn, I forgot his name, I hope I can pull it up. It was the craziest contest I seen in my life...well, other than Candace Parker beating those dudes in the 04 McDonalds contest (was it?)

You always talk sh*t about members here for being stupid when you never back anything up yourself. Atleast PFF can back up a lot of his arguements.

Wow... how is Greg Oden not the instant answer? Also, like the topic starter said, Julian Wright certainly deserves a mention. The only player in the league that's really like Julian is AK47, but Julian has even more talent. Al Thornton comes to mind as well, offensively anyway. He's like a Carmelo or Pierce in the sense that he can score in literally any way imaginable, inside or outside. He can take you 1-on-1 or play the "power 3" game.

That really means I have no life. I also love how you still accuse me of ripping when I proved every single one of your accusations wrong.
