Who I Like In The Draft

[Way Of The Ray <wayray@ix.netcom.com>]

If I were drafting from:

1 - 5: Brand or Szczerbiak

Wally is probably the best player in the draft - the Glen Rice
comparisons
seem appropriate. Brand is 6-9 in sneakers with a huge wingspan and
bulk.
If you need a power forward, he's an excellent pick. 

6 - 10: Miller or Odom

Odom is worrisome, but worth a shot between 6 and 10.  
Miller could be a Lafayette Lever type. 
 

11 - 20: Posey, Herren, Radojevic, Marion

Posey and Marion are middle class versions of Scottie Pippen.
Herren can pass and shoot, plays hard and is fearless.
Radojevic can develop into a Ric Smits type.
The players in this group are just as good as the players in the top ten
- 
it's that type of draft.

21 - 40 

Lari Ketner, if he can ever be motivated.
Andrei Kirilenko has lottery talent; needs three years to develop.
Quincy Lewis reminds me of Michael Finley.
Michael Ruffin is similar to the good Michael Smith.
Vonteego Cummings reminds me of Latrell Sprewell.
Devean George - He's in the poor man's Scottie Pippen mold.

41 - 59

Ricky Moore because of his defense...
Tyrone Grant because of his rebounding...
Wayne Turner - He knows the system...
Melvin Levett is worth a shot...
Shawnta Rogers would be fun to watch, and can play the game...
