The wildcard is stacked with great defensive Small Forwards. Shawn Marion from UNLV gets off on the break and is a pretty good leaper. He’s also well-rounded defensively: pesky on steals and even blocks a lot of shots. I can see him playing some PF, because he can guard bigs and even rebound. Andrei Kirilenko is interesting. As previously reported, he is nearing a contract extension with CSKA Moskow for 2 years. Nonetheless, AK is long and a decent scorer. Not a great shooter, but can knock it down. His length makes him a good shotblocker and defender. Another great defender is Ron Artest from QUEENSBRIDGE in NYC. He’s like a stocky SG/SF with good upper body strength and composure. He’ll get a bunch of steals leading to fast breaks. As an on-ball defender, he’s probably the best of the bunch. He’s also a well-rounded scorer too, which makes it interesting who would be drafted first of this group. There’s a lot of hype for Central Oklahoma star Eddie Robinson. He’s athletic but lazy at times. He has an ok-jumper, can finish in the lane, and has long arms to be a good defender, but if the potential isn’t there, he could wind up busting. Corey Maggette, star Freshman for Duke, is a scoring threat who gets the rim at will. He’s super athletic, drives to the rim, put his head down, and scores with ease. However he gets too cocky and selfish at times and forgets that there are 4 other teammates on the floor. This may mess up team chemistry a bit, but if Maggette matures, it should be no problem. Devean George is a solid SF with knockdown ability and his defense is decent. Jumaine Jones has got a nice looking corner three that will be beneficial to a team that has a drive-and-kick type player. Jones will help spread the floor for sure. Lee Nailon from TCU has got a good inside game. More of an undersized PF I’d say. Not a great defender or rebounder though, and not very quick for a SF, but solid still. Tim James played well in college and has been a consistent scorer and rebounder, but I don’t know if it will translate to a monsterous SSBL career IMO. He’ll be used for defense primarily, given his long arms and size. Quincy Lewis was a big-time scorer in Minnesota last year, primarily a threat from 3pt range. Not a great defender though, over-commits on steals at times. Rico Hill played a year overseas after 3 season at Illinois St. He was more of an inside guy but recently developed a nice 17-20 ft jumper. He’s not very quick as he played PF a lot in recent years, but if he wants to make it in the pros as a SF he’ll need to make that jumper consistent and work on perimeter defense as well. Heshimu Evans is a warrior; big-time energy guy off the bench from Kentucky who provides defense and rebounds. |
