In this draft I don't have too many guys going ahead of him. Maybe Shelden from duke. Other than him Taj Gray is the next power forward I really like. Cedric Simmons, and Alexander Johnson are the only power forwards projected to go in the first round. Taj Gray is not a second round talent. Cedric is Mr. Roboto and Alexander Johnson is good but he is not a powerful player.
Taj Gray is hands down the most athletic power forward in the draft. He can post up, rebound and he can put the ball on the floor. He can get way up to block shots too.

I Taj Gray slips to # 20 depending on what swing man is available, the Knicks should take a hard look at Taj Gray. I will be pissed if someone takes him after #29.....I my cut my balls off if the Knicks don't take him at #29.

I love Frye and David Lee but there is nothing wrong with a little competition. If anything Eddy Curry would be the one with the pressure cuz I think Frye is gonna bring it. Frye can play center with Taj Gray at the starting 4. Why not? Taj Gray is everything Kenyon Martin is. Like I said in another thread I think he looks alot like Amare Stoudamire......or Chris Wilcox......he is no puss like Drew Gooden....still Drew Gooden gets around 9 rebs a game so he's not that puss.

Just looked at the video clip...He looks good but his game looks a lot like D. Lee. I would rather get Mardy Collins at 20 and it looks like Popcorn man already has a promise on Boone.

I'd lump him in with Leon Powe/Paul Milsap with regard to calibur of player. Like 'bocker, I'd love a Collins/Boone draft.

Yeah man I'm looking for Mardy Collins at #20. He just has a maturity about him. His handle is ellusive too. He is a Temple guy so his defense will be ahead of most players in the draft. I just love that guys game.

#20 Mardy Collins #29 Taj Gray
