Titolo: noah draft

Rivisto Noah in semi... quando usciva (peraltro quasi sempre assieme a
Brewer.. ma gli allenatori li pagano per fare danni???) Florida annaspava
disperatamente ... 
Morale: in america è Noah time!! 
Ecco le ultime sui draft NBA:
With some help from some NBA scouting types who all require anonymity,
let's take a look at the risers and tumblers, adding some personal (from
me) and professional (from them) assessments, starting from the top of the
lottery down.
1. Texas power forward LaMarcus Aldridge: Long-long-armed sophomore has a
ways to go offensively but probably won't wait until next year, when the
top spot is guaranteed to center Greg Oden, an Ohio State freshman-to-be.
NBA equivalent: Marcus Camby clone.
2. Noah: It will be fascinating to see what he does tonight to combat
UCLA's Ron Artest-style aggressiveness. He's 6-foot-10 and plays bigger,
controls games with his court sense and explosiveness, and has taken the
most deserving leap up the draft board since Dwyane Wade led Marquette to
the Final Four in 2003.
"If you saw him in high school or last year, he was skinny and awkward,"
one scout said. "Man, he's gotten better. You wonder if he's just going to
keep getting better."
NBA equivalent: Chris Webber, minus the 20 pounds of muscle, and the pout.
3. Louisiana State forward Tyrus Thomas: Scouts already loved him, so his
tournament block-a-thon has been no surprise. (That disappearance vs. UCLA
wasn't too hot, though.) With Oden and other high schoolers looming for
2007, he's probably coming out.
NBA equivalent: Andrei Kirilenko, and I can pay no higher compliment.
4. Gonzaga small forward Adam Morrison: Don't know what to say about that
crying jag, but he's the surest NBA scorer in this draft.
NBA equivalent: George Gervin, crossed with Tammy Faye Bakker.
5. Washington swingman Brandon Roy: Some people love him, and some respect
him but aren't sure about his natural pro position as a 6-foot-6 tweener.
"You haven't seen half of what he's going to do," said one member of the
"love" brigade.
NBA equivalent: Wade at the top end, Jamal Crawford at the low.
6. Duke power forward Josh McRoberts: He's big and athletic but as a
freshman was barely an option at Duke, so who knows if he can score.
NBA equivalent: Kenyon Martin.
7. Villanova guard Randy Foye: He's not spectacular, so I'm surprised to
hear that he's moving up the board. But he put on an offensive show in the
tournament, and there aren't many lead guards in the draft.
NBA equivalent: Sam Cassell, with a conscience.
8. Connecticut small forward Rudy Gay: Started the season as a potential
No.1. But he's so passive, except for his last tourney game, that "nobody
really loves the guy," one said.
NBA equivalent: Scottie Pippen, without being born under a lucky star.
9. Bradley center Patrick O'Bryant: Listed as a 7-footer, plays taller and
was the big bloomer of this tournament. Red alert! This is my guy for the
Warriors. (Last year I circled Channing Frye and Charlie Villanueva.) So
they'll never get him.
NBA equivalent: P.J. Brown.
10. Arkansas small forward Ronnie Brewer: Defender, lane-filler, probably
not a shooter yet.
NBA equivalent: Latrell Sprewell.
11. Duke guard J.J. Redick: He shoots . . . he scores! He tries to defend,
the other guy scores! And scores!
NBA equivalent: Michael Redd.
12. Memphis small forward Rodney Carney: Runs like the wind, shoots like
it's always very windy.
NBA equivalent: Shawn Marion.
13. UConn point guard Marcus Williams: Not a favorite of mine, but scouts
point out his toughness and ability to take over.
NBA equivalent: Andre Miller.
14. North Carolina power forward Tyler Hansbrough: Big-time freshman
low-post scorer, says he's definitely staying for another year. With two
more lottery picks coming in, Tar Heels should be in Final Four next year.
NBA equivalent: Corliss Williamson.
14a. Arizona small forward Marcus Williams: A freshman who didn't get much
buzz, but I threw him in because he can score, and I hear he may be coming
out.
NBA equivalent: Caron Butler.
