Most over/underrated players in the NBA Draft

Dids was referring to the fact that Rudy Gay has character problems and doesn't try.

Well, gosh. Just imagine how badly he would have abused Morrison had he actually tried. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Add Marcus Williams to the overrated list. His vertical leap, with step, is 28". I knew probably 10 people in high school who could do that. Even Adam [censored] Morrison and Marco "19% body fat" Killingsworth each cleared that by 4 full inches.

Also, Lamarcus Aldridge only benched 185 lbs. 8 times. WTF?

This draft sucks

super-underrated = Steve Novak

Seven inches taller than Redick and a far better shooter. If the mock drafts are right, someone's going to get an absolute steal in the second round.

Yeah but he's a PG. He doesn't have to jump too much.

I think Gay will suck for 3 years and then magically 'find' himself during his contract year and average like 20 PPG or something. Then someone will give him like 70mil and he'll go back to sucking again.

Bargnani not going #1 is a crime in this draft. Projection of talent based on European Leagues has gotten MUCH easier over time (there has really only been one huge European high lottery bust, Tskitishvili-- Darko still can't be counted as a bust- he put up pretty decent # w/ Orlando in 30 games while still not understanding the system). Unlike many Europeans who come over, Bargnani has actually gotten playing time, and has actually played well in a decent league. Bargnani is the only player in this draft with even a remote chance of being a superstar. It'd be a stupid to take anyone else w/ the # pick-- he and Bosh would have the potential to be an unguardable 4-5 combination.

Going in the top ten we have Nowitzki, Gasol, Tskitishvili, and Milicic. Andris Biedren went at number eleven in 2004, too. So of those five, one is a complete bust. One is on his way to being a bust. And the jury is still out on Darko. And, obviously, one is a star and one is all-world. To make it seem as though drafting Euros is somehow safer than drafting college kids doesn't make much sense.

Chad Ford's latest Mock Draft III has Sheldon Williams going 5th to Atlanta (who apparently cut a deal w/ him). If so, he goes from underrated to overrated.

...while the Hawks go from 99.7% embarassing to 99.8% embarassing.
