NBA Draft Top Picks
Posted on 10. Feb, 2010 by Chuck Rocker in Business, Dis & Dat, Sports
With the 2010 NBA draft only 5 months away there is a lot of buzz concerning who the top picks will be. Fortunately, all top analysts agree on the top 3 (after that it gets a little scattered). So who are they?
According to Yahoo Sports:
- Wall: The 6-foot-3 Kentucky guard is the first name out of everyone’s mouth. John Calipari delivered a couple of one-and-done studs at Memphis (Derrick Rose, Tyreke Evans) and Wall will join that impressive duo. Rose is the player Wall is most often compared to – flattery of the highest. He may have even risen in the minds of any doubters when he said he doesn’t really listen to Coach Cal anyway.
- Evan Turner: The 6-7 Ohio State junior’s name invariably comes up after Wall. He’s a do-everything guard who understands and plays all facets of the game. He also showed some toughness by missing only six games with a pair of fractured vertebrae (the Buckeyes went 3-3 while he was out.) He will have had three years in Columbus so he’s as NBA-ready as they come these days.
- Wesley Johnson: Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim resorts to transfers about as often as he resorts to a man-to-man defense. But he took in the 6-7 Johnson from Iowa State and the dividends have been enormous. Already this season, Johnson has had five games of 40 minutes and four of 39. His stock has shot up incredibly this season. He leads the Orange in scoring and translates into an ideal small forward in the NBA.
Well, there you have it. Check you Yahoo Sports for a listing of the other “top picks”.
