I'm starting to feel.....a draft?

Here are my top five prospects for next weeks draft. This doesn’t seem like a great draft so I’ll focus on the top and maybe later on the picks themselves. I don’t have too much to say about the playoffs because it has all been said. Shaq is a shell of himself but I would almost give anything to see the big guy hoist the trophy tonight. Mark Cuban has gone from a guy I like to a complete cry-baby-tool in one week. That’s saying something.

*Andrea Bargnani
A legitimate seven footer. Can catch and shoot as well as create his own shot with the ball in his hands. When plays in the post, scores moving toward the basket as apposed to settling for less contact by fading away. Playing successfully in Italy/Euroleague for a good club. Uses his size well to get rebounds. Not a great jumper or athlete but has good timing on defense for blocking shots and has great timing on offence for getting his shot off. Can jump a little and will dunk in the flow of the game but he’s not going to win any dunk contests. Needs to get stronger to be able to finish plays in the NBA.

*Tyrus Thomas
A great athlete with a good feel for the game. A great shot blocker with the tools and the knowledge to alter the offense’s team mentality. Plays great defense with his hands and shows quick lateral movement to be able to stay in front of his man. Can handle the ball a little, that matched with his mid-range game and his speed make him a triple-threat(drive, shoot, or pass -probably in that order). An old freshman, will be 20 this year. Biggest negative is his size. Measured in at 6'8 with shoes on. Not sure if he has the size to play PF or the skills to play SF. I would think he will end up as a PF.

*Rudy Gay
A great athlete. Can do almost everything well. Great finisher and has good speed. A pure all-around talent as a SF. Rumored to have outplayed Morrison at private workouts. Has great physical tools but his heart has been questioned. Has not needed to be "the guy" on great UCONN teams. We will see soon if he can achieve his full potential.

*LaMarcus Aldridge
Great size and athleticism. Good skill set. Can shoot well, handle the ball well(for 6'11) and will dunk when given the opportunity. Gets up and down the court quick. Good timing and jumping ability make him a good shot blocker. Doesn’t like contact. Sometimes he will let the opposing player get position and then try and block the shot rather than fight him for position. Needs to get bigger. Being a good PF/C would be easier for him then being a good SF/PF. Health concerns. It’s not good when a teenager has back problems(Tyson Chandler). Good fit for an up and down team that isn’t going to need him to control the paint right away.

*Adam Morrison
Great scorer on the collegiate level. Can do some other things but scoring is his bread and butter. Is the same height as Gay and Thomas(says more about Thomas than the other two). Work ethic will not be questioned at the next level. Foot-speed has been a question but it’s hard to complain by the way he dominated the NCAA. Huge heart, one of the few players around who would rather lose a limb then lose a game. I don’t feel that his on court crying or his diabetes will be too much of a concern at the next level. Compared to Gay, it will be interesting to see which one turns out to be more successful in the NBA.
