This is the last of the SGs. Well start to move into the frontcourt next, before getting to the Walls, Turners and Favors of the draft. Things get better after this, because the strength of this draft is in the forwards and big guys this year. Henry and White are basically two players who didn’t fit with the other group of SGs, so they get lumped together. They do have similarities too. Both are young and have flashed some good potential. Neither has scored frequently enough over an entire … [Read more...] about NBA Draft 2010: SGs: Part 3 Xavier Henry and Terrico White

Unlike the last group of SGs, this bunch has no illusions of playing PG even on a part-time basis. These three players like to fire away and all scored in bunches this past year. In general I’ve been down on SGs as draft picks lately. My opinion is there are usually good ones available for a fairly reasonable price, which lowers the value of SGs as a group and should limit what any team should be paying for their SG. Look at how cheaply Milwaukee was able to get John Salmons and the … [Read more...] about NBA Draft 2010: Scoring Shooting Guards

These players are clearly SGs, as opposed to the last group of guards I looked at who were a little hard to define. The thing to know about this group is that while scoring is their main function, they’re also able to pass and have even shown some potential to run an offense. I’ll look at them as SGs though, so here’s a quick recap on what I look for in SG prospects: Scoring over 20.0 P40 and the higher the better. This is one benchmark that seems to be non-negotiable for prospects if … [Read more...] about NBA Draft 2010: Shooting Guards: Part 1, The Passers

This is a group of guards who are misfits. They fit somewhere between a PG and SG, but don’t have the type of numbers that either position would traditionally need. All either led their teams in assists or were a close second, but don’t look like NBA PGs, because they played more on the wing in college or they don’t have robust enough scoring and assist numbers to look like they can make it. All have something to like about them and that’s why I’m taking a look at them. Here are the … [Read more...] about NBA Draft 2010: Combo Guards

Here is a look at the remaining PGs out there. Some players who might be thought of as PGs will be covered with the combo guards in upcoming articles. I haven’t done John Wall yet. I was planning on waiting until the end to look at the top prospects. Also with the Wizards winning the lottery, I’ll need time to ponder how the arrival of John Wall will affect the Crittenton era in DC.  Mikhail Torrance, Alabama and Armon Johnson, Nevada:  I had meant for this last PG analysis to be for … [Read more...] about NBA Draft 2010: Remaining Point Guards
