I love Sam Young. He's another hard worker type player that is very defensive minded and can develop his offensive game. In addition, he's at the SG/SF position which we need, and we won't have to pay an arm and a leg to get him (projected at 20-25 or so). http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Sam-Young-1012/
man we already have a great pt guard combo! screw rubio! this guy is only 18, and kid! he aint gonna so **** for us! he only averaged 10pts a game, and 6 assits! we need scoring!
You gonna say this when Rubio becomes the next Tony Parker? I've said this before, and I'll say it again. You have a chance to draft Rubio? Get him. You have a chance to draft Thabeet? Get him. Sometimes the hype is too good to pass up (ex: LeBron James). No one can teach height. Thabeet can learn a LOT from Yao and Mutombo (assuming he stays.) If we have a choice between Thabeet and Rubio, I would probably take Rubio. We have two PGs already that are more than decent, and only one superstar center. We need more height.
I would take Harden or Evans. Harden seems like the most NBA-ready of the young guards and he's got size to play the 3. The Rockets need offense and the guy can put it up plus play solid defense. Evans is like an OJ Mayo-type player. He can play both guard spots and he's explosive. I think he could contribute right from the start.
per nbadraft.net Jonas Jerebko in Late First? The top performer at this year's Reebok Eurocamp, Jonas Jerebko is reportedly getting looks in the late first round. Teams in the 23-29 range are possibilities for him as well as a team such as the Spurs or Rockets moving in to take him. The Lakers (29th pick) are said to be very high on Jerebko as well. Buyers and Sellers Expect a flurry of action on draft night, which has become the norm in recent years, and a number of first and second rounders to be sold and traded. Teams with multiple picks such as Sacramento (23), Oklahoma City (25) and Chicago (26) are all looking to sell their picks according to sources. While three other teams would like to buy picks late in the first round: San Antonio, Detroit and Houston. Joe Dumars has his eye on Toney Douglas and would like to pick up a late first to grab him. San Antonio is likely after Victor Claver who suspiciously remained in the draft, despite a lackluster and injury plagued season. No word on who Houston is after, but Rockets GM Daryl Moray was on hand in Treviso as Swedish SF Jonas Jerebko put on an excellent performance. link http://www.nbadraft.net/node/7444, pretty good read on latest draft buzz
No word on who Houston is after, but Rockets GM Daryl Moray was on hand in Treviso as Swedish SF Jonas Jerebko put on an excellent performance. Dunno to much about this guy... DX compares him to Matt Harpring http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Jonas-Jerebko-1403/ nbadraft.net compares him to Thabo Sefolosha: http://www.nbadraft.net/players/jonas-jerebko Strengths: Has the size and athleticism to be able to mix it up inside and outside … His outside shot has continued to improve and he is now able to comfortably step out to the NBA three and easily knock down shots from deep … He shows his athleticism by finishing strong around and above the rim … His strength is also a key ingredient to his game as he is able to battle with bigger players inside and can also do some damage with his back to the basket … He can convert on plays around the basket, including a nice running hook, spin moves as well as a mini fadeaway ... He seems to be a guy willing to put in the work to develop his game … Weaknesses: He is not a smooth and natural player … Lacks the fluidness and finesse that is present in many European prospect … His shot is effective, but his release is extremely slow and he is not good at shooting on the move or off the dribble … His perimeter game, especially off the dribble is extremely limited … He is not comfortable making counter moves when he gets cut off and likes to turn his back to the defense when he feels pressure, and then tries to use his body to continue his progress to the basket … Playing against smaller defenders this was effective, but against bigger and better athletes it will be an issue …
I'm glad he can dominate orange cones lol but seriously, i know there are signs he will be good in the future, but what is there that suggests he will be good next year?
