    Oklahoma´s Eduardo Najera, he´s 6´8, 235,i´ve seen him play(im from mexico, here LatinEspn has all the sooners game, ive seenn him play he can post up, score, rebounds very well, he got an excellent outside shoot, he can nail 3pt ers, he has to work on his shot selection, but he´d perfect for the rockets, the problem: he would most likeli be a late first rounder or a very early second round pick,
    what do you all think, we can send somebody like tmass for the warriors 2 round pick
    what do you all think?

    Ed's the man los. Don't listen to guys like Francis3 or anyone who says he's not a primetime player, because he is. Did you see the Texas A&M game. He only played 29 minutes in that game. I was surprised how much he rested, he still put up 14 points, 3 steals, 3 assist, and 5 rebounds in limited action. I mean, he usually plays 36 or 37 minutes a game. By the way los, are you a Sooner fan, or do you just like Eduardo? Either way you can't lose.

    Kenyon Martin literally averages around 29 minutes a game and he dwarfs those numbers.I don't even like Kenyon Martin that much, but at least he puts up great numbers against very good competition. Playing 3/4 of a game against A&M and putting up those kinds of numbers is nothing to rant and rave about. Anyways, i seriously doubt Najera with ever become a primetime player on the next level. Role player...a solid possibility.

    I seriously doubt how good Eduardo Najera will ever be in the NBA. He is a remarkably tough player. Mixes it up well down low. Has a feathery outside touch. My problem is that he's kind of a tweener. He gets overpowered every now and then in college ball right now, he's going to get overpowered everynight in the NBA. My biggest problem with him is the slow feet. Very slow laterally and that doesn't translate too well in the pros. Being a late 1st rounder is probable. I think it's a little too early to speculate on future draft day trades.

    Great more najera fans.. [​IMG]

    This guy is not going to be a top pick, i see him going at like #20.

    So forget about him, we dont need him.
