NBA Draft

Alright, alright, alright. Time for some NBA prognostication.

Tomorrow the futures of 60 young men will be determined. Some of these young men will be set in their financial situations for the rest of their lives. Others will regret the day they listened to their cities version of Big Time Willie. (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0809793/)

No one can fault guys like like Johnathan Bender, DaJuan Wagner and Stromile Swift for jumping at the opportunity to make money, hell its the part of the American Dream. But you do have to question their commitment and love of the game if they are hell bent on leaving school (too) early or heading straight to the pro's without ever trying to better themselves in the NCAA, which is in all intents and purposes is the NBA's minor leagues. All be it a minor league that doesn't pay so maybe it's justifiable.

Everyone knows the 2 hot prospects that everyone is ga-ga over, Derrick Rose and Michael Beasley. Both had excellent freshman season's but in different ways. Rose was blessed to be the PG of a title contending team that allowed himself to be exposed to national media. Beasley on the other hand was a BEAST for a mid-level Big-12 team that, if they had a coach that didn't look like a manikin, might have contended in a down year for the conference.

Both are excellent players and will undoubtedly put up numbers, Beasley will probably have the eye-popping stats that will do wonders in fantasy leagues but will his game translate into overall team success?

With the emergence of CP3 and Deron Williams and the success of Steve Nash, the NBA is becoming a point guards league. And Rose fits in perfectly with Paul and Williams, he is willing and able to get his but is unselfish enough to find his guys so they can get theirs. In all likely hood Rose will fall into a perfect situation playing along side guys like Ben Gordon and Luol Deng, and I can't wait until the first lob pass from Rose that goes up to Tyrus Thomas and he throws it down. They might be the next Paul-Tyson Chandler, in terms of ally-oops.


OK so tomorrow I'm going to do a mock draft. I'm doing it tomorrow just in case of any trades and what not.

Stay Tuned.
