1.Chicago-Loren Woods 7'1 Center (Arizona). NBA Comparison:Karim Abdul-Jabaar The bulls need a center and Loren Woods is perfect for then.His game is like Jabaars game and he's a very athletic player.A little soft but you can't teach height. 2.Washington-Eddie Griffin.6'9 PF (Seton Hall) Nba Comparison:Sharif Abdul-Rahim Although Washington wants a center, but they can still make room for a big man like Eddie.He has the skills and potential to be dominate in the NBA. 3.Atlanta- Gerald Wallace 6'7 SF (Alabama) NBA Comparison- Vince Carter The Hawks need any kind of help in their frontline. He, in my opinion, is the best player in this draft.Has dream-team potential.Maybe a little short for a SF but he makes all of that and more uip with his jumping ability. 4.LA Clippers-Zack Randolph 6'9 PF (Michigan St.) NBA Comparison:cross between Karl Malone and Kenny Thomas HE moves all 270lbs very well and has a great touch. Good outside shooter and a very physical player. Has the tools to be a sterling NBA player.Would give the clippers a PF to go eith Kandi and ODom. 5.Golden State-Jason Williams 6'2 Duke NBA Comparison:Stephan Marbury THE best PG in the draft, hands down. Has the potential to join GP and Kidd as one of the best PG in the league. Much better then the OTHER Jason Williams 6.New Jersey- Brendan Haywood 7'0 North Carolina NBA Comparison-Micheal Olawakandi 7.Vancouver-Troy Murphy 6'11 PF Notre DAme NBA Comparison-Keith Van Horn Outstanding shooter and outside player,especially for his size. Post-up game has improved ALOT since his freshman year.Might play center in Vancouver or even be traded up for a center. 8.Orlando-Carlos Boozer 6'9 PF Duke. NBA Comparison-Mo Taylor 9.Boston-Joe Forte 6'4 SG North Carolina 10.Indiana-Joe Johnson PG/SG Arkansas NBA Comparison-A 6'9 Penny Hardaway (gulp) How about a backcourt of 6'8 Jalen Rose and 6'9 Joe Johnson? 11.Seattle- Tamar Slay 6'8 SG Marshall NBA Comparison: Allen Houston 12.Denver-Shane Battier 6'8 SF DUke NBA Comparison-Defensively-Scottie Pippen Offensively-Bryon Russell 13.Houston(via milwakee)-Terence Morris 6'9 SF Maryland NBA Comparison-Joe Smith 14.Detroit-Vincint Yarbrough 6'7 SF Tennesee NBA Comparison:Shawn Marion 15 Houston-Sam Dalemburt 6'11 C Seton Hall NBA Comparison: David Robinson ------------------ Remember, players dont win rings, franchises do.Its not too late to jump on the bull's bandwagon. BULLS IN 2001!
Forgot Joe Forte's NBA Comparison.. its Ray Allen. ------------------ Remember, players dont win rings, franchises do.Its not too late to jump on the bull's bandwagon. BULLS IN 2001!
Not projecting any of the high schoolers or Yao Ming? Am I the only one that sees Marcus Camby written all over Loren Woods? Doesn't seem like he's going to really be a true center even with the height. I gotta think a couple big guys rise all the way to the top couple picks. ------------------

No offense PTP but it looks to me like this is straight off of www.nbadraft.net with a few minor changes,I do think a few high schoolers and the Chinaman(no offense intended) will find there way onto this list somewhere ------------------ [This message has been edited by Summer Song Giver (edited December 15, 2000).]
I also forgot to add I think the Rockets will draft smallforward unless one of the studs in the frontcourt happen to fall to us. ------------------
Forte is REALLY good and if any team is looking for a guard(either one) he is their man. I think he will be better than allen. he is a better scorer and more athletic.
Its funny how nbadraft.net has golden state picking Zach Randolph. I mean, he looks like a great player, but with the Jamison, Fortson semi-problem already there why on earth would they go with randolph. does nbadraft.net even try and match players with teams needs? ------------------ "There are some frauds so well conducted that it would be stupidity not to be deceived by them."

Terrance Morris=Joe Smith? ------------------ President of the why in the Hell isnt Langhi playing club!!!
Actualy, I hate to say it, for fear of cursing him, but the moment I saw Terrance Morris, I could have sworn I was watching Johnny Taylor's twin. Remember his big moment comming out of Tenn-Chatanoga, I think it was? Morris, like Taylor, always looks like he could be dominant if he wanted to. Granted, Morris has alot more skill, but I think the physical likeness and the apparent appathy are enough to scare me off of Morris based on what a bust Taylor was. ------------------
Dalembert is one ugly mother , He aint no David Robinson , Forte and J Williams are the best guards . Yao Ming , Tyson Chandler or Eddy Curry could make the Top 15 somewhere . ------------------ "Its a good thing they don't make posters of European players" -Walt Williams after getting "posterized" by Zan Tabak .
Do you really think Jason Williams is coming out after this year? I would have to agree that he is much better than the other JWill. I don't think I would compare Forte to Allen because I think Allen is a much better shooter than Forte is at this stage. I may be wrong about that though. And comparing Woods to Kareem is ridiculous. Loren Woods can block shots and score inside, whereas Kareem was dangerous much farther out and had an almost unstoppable go-to move. Their frames might be similar, but I don't think their games are. ------------------
Didn't some nba scouts compare woods to Cato? and why would Denver draft Battier when they already have a defensive SF in Posey? ------------------ Hakeem, Hasaw, Haconquered.
