Love it the bust in that group. Rose is the best player and it seems that he is going to go first.

d ray · 06-20-08, 05:33 PM

7

Joe Alexander

SF

6-8

220

21

West Virginia

bust

5 star bomb · 06-20-08, 05:35 PM

OJ Mayo, Alexander, and Love will be busts.... Eric Gordan, Rose, Beasely, Westbrook will be the best players of this group

Ego74 · 06-20-08, 05:38 PM

yeah D Ray, surprised he's projected that high. He could be a good "garbage player", but don't think he has the skills to be a scorer.

Of course, he's only been in America a handful of years, so he's got raw talent and could develop

mofome · 06-20-08, 05:44 PM

ego, what are you talking about?

as for Joe Alexander, he has been killing people in his workouts.

5 star bomb · 06-20-08, 05:45 PM

Hey Mofo.....

Gordan > Mayo

TomBrady#1 · 06-20-08, 05:48 PM

Gordon I am not sure about at all and Mayo is going to be small possibly for the NBA and that will hurt him. I say Mayo is a potential bust for sure. Love is going to be interesting but he has such a high basetball IQ that I would take a chance on him.

You probably have seen him play more than me. You think he's "that good", a #7 pick Mo? I know this isn't a real deep draft, but that seems high to me.

Journeyman · 06-20-08, 06:01 PM

ANY of them could bust...gone are the days of the can't miss #1 pick, last yr was very unusual with two can't miss HOF potential players going 1-2.

out of all of them I'd say Bayless at #4, this looks like a pretty solid top 10 compared to the past 6-7 years

I thought Mayo was taller than 6-4

dsethi · 06-20-08, 06:03 PM

Alexander could be very, very good if he plays as aggressively as he showed he could late last year.

I think Bayless could end up being the prize of the top 10. He can do it all, and he's a better and more consistent shooter than any other PG there (including Mayo, and arguably can be as streaky).

Ego74 · 06-20-08, 06:04 PM

Alexander = a poor man's Lamar Odom imo

mofome · 06-20-08, 06:05 PM

Na ego, i dont think hes the 7th best player, but i wouldnt describe him as 'raw'. imo, he looks smooth but limited. Thabeet is what i consider to be a 'raw' talent. Dorsey falls into that category as well.

mofome · 06-20-08, 06:06 PM

Bayliss is amazing.

Mayo is short for his style. I watched him last year a million times and said many times he will get detroyed in the NBA because he is too small. Of course you just never know and all you have to do is look at all the bad draft picks to realize this. I bet he is much too small though for being the scorer he wants to be.

BTW, i agree with bayless. Just a solid point guard that has good vision, is quick, and can score.

hate to agree with you on the bookend 2 - but i think you are right - of the 2 Love more than Mayo although Mayo is a Stephon Marbury "Head Case" just waiting to happen

I'd take Bayless over Mayo, I thought he was more like 6-6, must be the way he plays, I dunno...I see your points and agree....and agree with Winky.

gynecologist · 06-20-08, 07:56 PM

O.J Mayo is going to be a major bust IMO.. When he is guarded by guys taller and stronger he will have BIGTIME problems.

Jagermeister · 06-20-08, 08:01 PM

Gordon will bust.

Bayless and Alexander could be great.

NickPappagiorgio · 06-20-08, 08:23 PM

Mayo and Gordon will be busts with Beasley coming in 3rd

Alexander has the mid range game to be a long term pro

gynecologist · 06-20-08, 08:24 PM

I think Westbrook will take time but in 2-3 years will be a Major Star..

Reload · 06-20-08, 08:28 PM

Weak class this year.

Quebb Diesel · 06-20-08, 09:24 PM

all 6'2 of gordon will be a bust...he has a lot of learning to do...so scratch your 6'4/6'3 cards...

Thor4140 · 06-20-08, 09:28 PM

4 years from now when they look this draft over Darrell Arthur will be the third or fourth player taken in a mock draft

Thor4140 · 06-20-08, 09:29 PM

i also think Alexander will be a very good player in time.

gopherbob · 06-21-08, 12:27 AM

i think the top 3 (rose, beasley, and mayo)will all have very good nba careers,
but my gut says the steal of the draft will be rush.

WildBill · 06-21-08, 04:28 AM

Hilarious, when almost everyone at EOG says Mayo will be a bust I have to think he will be good.
