Louis Williams, high school senior: Despite massive speculation to the contrary, the 6-foot-1, 170-pound Williams insists he'll be taken in the first round. He hasn't signed with an agent, which means there's time still to wise up. Given the proper time to develop at Georgia, Williams could make a lot of money in this game. Otherwise, he's risking everything on the immediate thrill -- and ego boost -- of turning pro out of high school. "Dumb" doesn't begin to describe this decision. 2. Bracey Wright, Indiana: One of the most selfish players in Indiana history, Wright turned down the chance to return the Hoosiers to national prominence. Instead he will go into the draft with only one guarantee -- he's not going in the first round. And he might not get picked in the second round. One-dimensional shooting guards who make 32.9 percent of their 3-pointers don't make NBA teams swoon. Wright, who has signed with an agent, leaves behind an Indiana program that -- with him -- could have challenged for the Big Ten title. 3. Shavlik Randolph, Duke: As a junior, the 6-10 forward has every right to enter the draft and use his one free pass to return to school for his senior season. No harm done, right? Wrong. Fair or not, the injury-plagued Randolph already is targeted by opposing fans for failing to live up to the expectations outsiders heaped on him when he was in high school. By entering the NBA Draft after a junior year in which he averaged 4.4 points and 4.3 rebounds, Randolph has waved red meat in front of the wolves. He can still return to Duke for his senior season, but it could be ugly -- really ugly. 4. Brandon Bass, LSU: Bass entered the 2004 draft and then used his one free pass to return for his sophomore season. With no safety net, Bass agonized over this decision before deciding right before the deadline to enter the draft. Now he has no choice but to stay in, despite having little assurance of being picked in the first round. At 6-8, 252 pounds, Bass (17.3 ppg, 9.1 rpg) will have trouble defending power forwards in the NBA, and he lacks the offensive skills to play small forward. Meanwhile, he leaves an LSU team that could have challenged for the Final Four with him in a frontcourt alongside Glen Davis and Tasmin Mitchell. Bass was the SEC's player of the year and scholar-athlete of the year, which proves that book smarts and common sense aren't one and the same. 5. Chris Rodgers, Arizona: Rodgers has been perceived as a self-important head case, and this confirms it. Entering the draft after averaging 5.5 ppg and shooting 37.1 percent from the floor? Who does Rodgers think he is, Shavlik Randolph?</div> Read More
Why do you post stuff that Greg Doyell writes? After that mock draft he wrote, I think you should ban Greg Doyell stuff from this website!!! http://www.justbball.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37625
