Greetings, its your draft specialist Pooty Love, here to break down the mock draft in unfortunately poor fashion due to the lack of college bball i have watched this season. Still some topics of discussion:
1. Blake Griffin - No qualms with Griffin here. He is the premier athlete in the NCAA and will surely succeed once he gets a few go-to moves in the post at the next level.
2. Hasheem Thabeet - Whoever drafts Hasheem here is setting themselves up for disaster... Guarantee he will drop a bunch of spots come July. If one thing can be learned from this decade its draft the best player at whatever spot / not necessarily the one with the most athletic potential, and be VERY weary high using your high pick on a center. Hasheem is far from the answer for a struggling NBA team, is he even killing it at UConn?
3. James Harden - Oh yeah. This guy is the real. Polished, smart and gutsy player who along with a great supporting cast at Ariz St. is tearing it up. OJ Mayoesque ladies and gentlemen, not as athletic, but has got the will to get it done.
4.Jordan Hill - Not sure how Mr. Hill has jumped so far up the draft board. Everytime I watch him at Zona, he is lethargic 80% of the time, and the remaining production are put-backs or alley-oops. Not sold on this athletic big man.
5. Brandon Jennings - If you haven't read PW's world the past few months, this guy is the definition of brilliance. Could do what Jason Williams and Allen Iverson did to re-stylize the NBA. #1 on this Poot's Big Board
---Don't know enough names after this... Budinger is projected too high, Jeff Teague and Wake Forest are on the rise. More to come. Poot, I can't listen to your radioshow, the box is blacked out. Very disappointing.
Monta Countdown - I'll give it 2 weeks

What We Are Here For
My name is Poot, welcome to my world. I am a statistical guru who's interests pertain but aren't limited to: appeasing Jeff who has to wake up early to work, eating Jeff's salami, and the Indiana Pacers. My goal: NBA Jam Tournament Edition "hot spots" sports commentary.

my concern with Blake Griffin are that he could be entirely too small to play PF in the league. Kind of like m beasley this year but with a little less range? can he play D though? i havent been up on my OU bball viewings. love jordan hill, i could see him being a future league star. his game just screams NBA much like bayless and mayo before him, but at a different position. he's not like those super raw athletes (deandre jordan/anthony randolph) and shows consistency and high skill level on important matters surrounding the post game/body positioning/hands etc etc.
