---> who was undersized, unathletic, with short arms

sounds like he has white man's disease, kind of like the 2 time MVP.

Obviously his back is hurting his stock, otherwise what top 5 pick is superior to JJ? He's just as good as Rudy Gay Morrrison et al...what player has proven to be better than JJ?

The NBA game is different from the college game. Calbert Cheaney was player of the year and he became an average to decent NBA player, and he was playing a far tougher college game.

Reddick is a shooter and not much else. I don't see his game expanding on the NBA level.

At the 20 I like Sene. I have heard plenty about him, but I have only seen the highlight reel that was posted here.

I must say that even from the small look his athleticism is impressive for his size. He reminds me of Mutombo, but I don't recall Mutombo ever jumping the way Sene does. On the few shots they showed him shooting, he looked reasonably coordinated.

I believe he has all the tools to become a fairly dominant defensive player. If he can rebound that equals a very good player. I think he will be able to rebound well because he doesn't look like an absolute beanpole. Also he looks like a pretty good runner.

i'm going with
20 - Shawne Williams
29 - Alexander Johnson

20 Armstrong

29 Boone

He is slow, unathletic, has short arms and undersized for the 2.


who is insinuating stereotypical drivel? You are the one saying he is slow and not athletic. Sorry I don't see that. I see a guy who gets seperation at will, gets to the FT line when he wants, plays in an uptempo system, no one can guard the guy--how is he slow and unathletic or are you just blinded by color? You cant do what he does if you are slow and atrhletic you have zero basis to say he is slow and not athletic other than stereotypical reverse racism.

20 Marquinhos

29 Batista

Batista --version of lonnie baxter but not as athletic very small for an NBA 5 and way to slow for 4. where is L Baxter not in the lague so this guy isnt even sniffing round 2 let alone 29

also i think you can get Vinscinous[sp] at 29 If redick or Sene dive--thats pick 20 SFs are still a dime a dozen James White could be just as good a prospect. It would go a long way with Knick fans if Isiah drafted JJ or Sene picking Vincinious at 20 is to high.

LAL takes marquinhos off the board at 26 if hes there.

according to dxpress (who are not fans of him in the least bit), there are several GM's who think Batista can play on the next level.

drafting 20 & 29, take who you like.

#20.sene/sefolosha/s.williams#29.(depending on who we pick up w/our 20th) boone/m.vinicius/j.white/(possibly novak, the kid is probably a better shooter than jj, AND he's a good rebounder.)
