This is going to be an interesting year...not just for the Rockets' Yao Ming... Here are just a few questions to be answered: 1) Will Jay Williams beat out Yao for ROY? 2) Will Mike Dunleavy Jr. be better than his father; worth the 3rd pick? 3) Will Amare Stoudemire be the steal of the draft? 4) Tskitishvili who? Will he make us eat our words? 5) Will Juan Dixon fade or will he prove that he belongs in the NBA? 6) Will Kareem Rush quit the NBA to become an actor in LA following in the footsteps of the great Rick Fox? 7) Will the Rockets regret picking Bostjan Nachbar over Qyntel Woods? 8) Will Dan Dickau lead a new legacy for Gonzaga in Sac Town (Traded to Atlanta).
1. No 2. Yes 3. No 4. No 5. He belongs 6. No- Rush is already better than Fox will ever be 7. No way! 8. No
Certainly it can happen, but I would be more worried abou Drew Gooden or Dejuan Wagner pressuring Ming for ROY. I don't think so. He might end up being better than his father, but I am definitely of the opinion that he won't be worth the 3rd pick...I can see as many as 7-10 players picked after him ending up being much more valuable. This is possible as the guy is an amazing athlete, but I don't think so. I can see Dan Dickau being more of a steal. Not this season, but he was picked that high for a reason, the guy has monster potential. Now THIS is a guy who will make us eat our words (if you indeed said he couldn't play in the NBA). The guy is clutch, and tweener or not, he will show that he deserves to be there. He would be another example of someone who might be the steal of the draft. No.
i dont think dejuan will be as good as gooden this year even though i like wagner since his 100 pt hs game.. but during the summer league he seemed to struggle in some game..oppose to goodens nice performance with consistancy.. i would go for gooden for the R.O.Y even over Ming.. gooden just has more experience on conditioning and a better mind set to me.
