Alexander, Chase is a better shooter and they have similar athleticism, but there's just something missing with Chase. He could be Rudy Gay, he could be Luke Jackson. Alexander's effort is better, but he needs to stay in school to improve more.
I don't know but I feel like Tyler Hansbrough will not be a really great player in the NBA. He doesn't have something special in his game, yes he's intense , he can dunk it, good foot work but he will not be a dominant player in the NBA.
Luke Jackson? Luke Jackson? His athleticism is nowhere near the level of Chase or Alexander. But I have to agree with you about Chase lacking a little something. Like I said before, he has a very timid style of play; thats why I think he would be best be drafted by fast-break running team like Phoenix or Denver. If that should happen, he can be a truly a special player, in the mold of a Marion except with a jumpshot and less defense.
Hansboro is going to make a big impact just because hes probably the most NBA-ready player in college right now (who is caucasian)
Here is Tyler Hansbrough's profile on Draftexpress.com: http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Tyler-Hansbrough-288/ Check the Best Case/Worst Case scenario. "Best Case: Craig Smith" "Worst Case: Luis Scola" Is this some kind of mistake? Are they saying Craig Smith is better than Luis Scola? huh?
Wow you must be joking rofl. He is a good college player, but no one thinks that he can be a good pro. For one, he lacks explosiveness and he really doesn't have a post game. The only advantage he has is just bullying strength. He can be a good role player though; but you must be most smoking a lot of weird stuff to believe that he is most NBA-ready player. Kevin Love is more "NBA-ready" than Tyler is, because he actually has post game. Very funny dude
One thing about all these white players: they will be drafted too early. The only white player who can be considered a steal is Nash, there are some others who are worthy of their draft position, but tons of busts as well (Hello JJ Redick and Adam Morrison). I think Indiana has a great chance to be the home of a white player in this draft, it's not that the GM is racist, it's the fan base....
But Chase Budinger and Joe Alexander are a whole different breed compared to JJ Redick and Adam Morrison. Chase Budinger is basically JJ Redick except he's 6'7, freakish athleticism and speed and Joe Alexander is the next Tom Chambers. They are hard to come by though (white players that are athletic and skilled).
