Titolo: [NBA] Strana la vita...

...sono passati solo 5 giorni dal draft 2002 e già c'è qualcuno che pensa al
draft del 2003...
Ho trovato questo articolo di thesportingnews, "l'esperto" Sean Deveney ha
buttato giù 13 nomi per il draft del prossimo anno.
Se a qualcuno può sembrare leggermente prestino parlarne adesso (soprattutto
perchè i nomi non sono associati a nessuna squadra per via di ovvi motivi)
non prendetevela con me ma con tale Sean Deveney appunto! :PP

1. LeBron James, G/F, 6-7, St. Vincent-St. Mary (Akron, Ohio) H.S. Write him
in ink as the No. 1 pick. He would have gone No. 1 this year.
2. Rickey Paulding, SG, 6-5, Jr., Missouri. He might have been a lottery
pick this year and should be one of the better prospects next year. He had a
lot of buzz going during the NCAA Tournament and must capitalize on that by
dominating next season.
3. Chris Duhon, PG, 6-1, Jr., Duke. He always plays well in tournaments but
tended to defer to Jay Williams. Now, Duhon must make Duke his team.
4. Kendrick Perkins, C, 6-10, Ozen (Texas) H.S. Scouts wonder about his
toughness -- before they remember he is just 18. His size and potential make
him a sure top-five pick next year.
5. T.J. Ford, PG, 5-11, So., Texas. He is a dazzling point guard prospect
who combines athletic ability, ballhandling and floor sense. His lack of
size is his only drawback.
6. James White, SG, 6-6, So., Florida. The potential, the dunks and the
athletic ability are unquestioned. Most impressive, though, is that he has
worked to make himself a good defender.
7. Boris Diaw, G/F, 6-8, Pau Orthez (France). He entered and withdrew from
the last two drafts, but, at 21, he likely will stick around in 2003. He is
a terrific athlete and ballhandler but must develop shots outside of the
dunk.
8. Carmelo Anthony, SF, 6-7, Fr., Syracuse. He has a polished game for an
18-year-old and would have been a low first-round pick this year. He plays
well with his back to the basket.
9. Sani Becirovic, PG/SG, 6-5, Kinder Bologna, Italy (Slovenia). He is a
natural shooting guard but is developing point guard skills, which would
make him valuable at his size. He's a good passer and defender.
10. David Harrison, C, 7-0, So., Colorado. He rebounds, blocks shots and
defends the post well. Harrision must work on his scoring, but the defense
and size are there.
11. Kirk Hinrich, PG, 6-3, Sr., Kansas. He might wind up as the best of the
point guard crop. He's an excellent shooter from long range and a perfect
floor general. He was more aggressive as last season progressed and must
continue that next season.
12. Zaur Pachulia, C, 6-11, Ulker Spor Kulubu Istanbul, Turkey (Republic of
Georgia). He'll be 19 next season and still is growing. He has a good mix of
size and skill, and can develop into a low-post force with good coaching.
13. Chris Marcus, C, 7-1, Sr., Western Kentucky. He is having foot surgery
this summer, which forced him to withdraw from the 2002 draft. To get back
to lottery status, he must prove the foot is not an issue.
Ten to watch: Mario Austin, Mississippi State; Carlos Delfino, Argentina;
Reece Gaines, Louisville; Jarvis Hayes, Georgia; Emeka Okafor, Connecticut;
Zoran Planinic, Croatia; Darius Rice, Miami (Fla.); Luke Ridnour, Oregon;
Dwyane Wade, Marquette; David West, Xavier.
Tskitishvili? Già acqua passata... [vabbè dai concedetemelo :-) ] l'anno
prossimo sarà la volta di un'altro Georgiano, Zaur Pachulia (dichiaratosi
per quest'anno ma poi si è tirato indietro).
Ahi, mi immagino già gli europei del 2005 quando verremo massacrati dalla
Georgia...
Roberto.

Certo, conosco quel sito da anni e se per quello c'è pure il mock draft del
2004! :-P
Vuoi mettere però un articolo sul sito di TheSportingNews? Non mi pare che
come rivista sia l'ultima arrivata...
Roberto.


Hai ragione, mi inginocchio sulla tastiera
