The problems with Telfair are that he's really small (likely under 6' when the official measurements are released) and his average jumper.
There have been tons of great high school and college prospects who don't make it to the NBA for those two reasons. I wonder how he'd rank if any of these jumperless PGs were in his recruiting class: Brevin Knight, Mateen Cleaves, Wayne Turner...
Add 8 inches, and maybe he's the player that Lebron is.
I give no credence to the "basketball is in his blood" references to Stephon Marbury. Afterall, Zach Marbury came from the same womb as Stephon, but that didn't make him into the same player...
Certainly not worthy of the #1 overall pick... some scouts are beginning to wonder if he's even worthy of being drafted at all.
