1. Courtney Lee
In a perfect world, this kid would have been highly touted and would go higher. Bottom line is his game correlates to Mayo's much better than anyone else's in this draft. He's got size, speed, handle, and he can shoot the pill. Biggest weakness is he can be very hot or very cold. Could end up as a Larry Hughes clone. Hope that isn't the case.
2. Donte Green
As a fellow 'Cuse fan, there is plenty to like about Green. For starters, his size. He's close to 6'11 and may end up being over 7 feet. He reminds me so much of Rashard Lewis it's scary. HIs ceiling is tremendous. Now the bad. He gets lazy, tends to rely on his shot way too much. His defense is atrocious and he loses focus. A lot. At the end of the season, his 3pt % was dismal. I mean pathetic.
3. Brandon Rush
Tall combo guard that can play D, run well, and shoot. As far as safe picks are concerned, he may be the best at 19. Unfortunately, he reminds me a ton of Shannon Brown, only taller and a bit quicker
4. CDR
See Rush, only I think CDR has more potential than Rush. He has the makings of a Tayshaun Prince, only a bit smaller.
5. JaVale McGee
Well, what to say. This kid has the makings of a bonafied stud. Problem is he's still very raw. 7'1, 240. Needs to put on about 20 lbs. And he will. Kid can shoot long range. Perfect person to grandfather into Z's position when he retires.
