Just read Hollingers article on this years prospects. Dude's system has flaws but did a pretty good job at IDing Ty Lawson as a pretty good player that was being passed on by a lot of teams.

This years diamonds in the rough are the last 3 on this list:

Draft Rater's top 12
Rank Player Team Projected PER
1 DeMarcus Cousins Kentucky 16.14
2. Evan Turner Ohio State 14.79
3. John Wall Kentucky 14.68
4. Greg Monroe Georgetown 14.39
5. Derrick Favors Georgia Tech 13.98
6. Xavier Henry Kansas 13.52
7. Luke Babbitt Nevada 13.35
8. Al-Farouq Aminu Wake Forest 13.30
9. Wes Johnson Syracuse 13.03
10. Greivis Vasquez Maryland 12.97
11. Sylven Landesberg Virginia 12.52
12. Omar Samhan Saint Mary's 12.47

Ironically enough..Vasquez is projected as going right after the Knicks 2 picks on NBADraft.net who has the Knicks taking Jordan Crawford (6'4" SG) and Jarvis Varnado (6'9" PF)

I think Vasquez is 100% guaranteed to be a solid player but ONLY if the Knicks pass on him. We are becoming the northeast version of the Hawks. A team that clearly needs a PG...with a coach whose system depends on a PG passing up PGs in the draft.

Knicks pass on:

2009

Jennings
Holliday
Lawson
Maynor
Collison
Omri Casspi (not a PG but dammit..an Israeli on the Knicks? Shoulda been taken just for ticket sales alone)

2008

DJ Augustin (kinda sucks..Gallo better..gotta mention the good decisions too no?)
George Hill (# 26)
Chalmers (34)

2007

Aaron Brooks (26 after Chandler at 23)

2006

Rajon Rondo (21 after...the Balkman)

Hawks pass on:

Brandon Roy (for Shelden Williams)
Chris Paul
Deron Williams
Ray Felton

Statistics

Strengths: Vasquez displays incredible on-court intensity and passion for the game ... He can control the game when his emotions take over and his shots start falling ... He attacks the rim relentlessly and has a knack for getting himself into the lane... His court vision, especially from the perimeter, is outstanding and his passing ability is notable ... His stamina seems endless, it's obvious he works hard on conditioning ... He possesses great size for a point guard ... His length allows him to disrupt passing lanes and his intensity could translate into him becoming a stand-out defender one day ... He has a tendency to step up in big games ... Excellent rebounder for his position ...

Weaknesses: Vasquez plays out of control at times, and still displays questionable decision making ... His ****iness exceeds his abilities ... He is far too physically weak and struggles to finish when drawing any sort of contact. He appears to be a guy that will always be on the thin side ... He has very poor range on his jump shot, and will struggle to force opponents to guard him close, limiting the efficiency of his driving ability ... When attacking the rim, he puts his head down, reducing his passing effectiveness ... His on-ball defense is shaky and inconsistent ... He lacks balance in his game, still unable to effectively balance distributing and scoring ... He has not shown any post-up game, an essential skill for a big point guard ... His intensity can be overbearing. He must learn to direct his energy and intensity better. Vasquez is also a full year old for his grade limiting his upside some ...
