Dozier and Taggart

Both are long athletic PF's but can they make an impact in the NBA? They are very slim and not very strong for NBA big men. Outside games not really there to play the 3. Where will they go or where could they be successful?

Taggart won't get drafted.

Taggart won't get drafted. Just nothing to special about his game. Dozier has some perimeter skills, he could play the 3. Dozier can shoot the ball fairly well for being so tall. If he gains some weight he will be solid at the 4 position. I think Dozier will get drafted mid 2nd round. I'm not sure if Dozier can guard quicker small forwards like LeBron, Melo, etc.... The fact that he doesn't have a position kind of hurts his stock. Like I said he is a little skinny to play the 4 and a little slow to play the 3. But if he continues to improve he could be a solid player coming off the bench.

Dozier on the Bulls?

If the Bulls get a second round pick, I could see them going after Dozier. He played with Rose in college and could be a nice replacement for Tyrus Thomas, if he gets traded in a deal for Chris Bosh, Dirk Nowtizki, or Amar'e Stoudmire.

Taggart just signed an agent, thats dumb, one more year to gain weight and show off some goods sides to his game, he will not get drafted this year...\

If he isnt getting draft in

If he isnt getting draft in this weak draft then he probably wasnt getting drafted next year either. Taggart is 24 and he just got his degree. He really had no reason to come back.

Iceman is right he

Iceman is right he transferred to Memphis. I think he will be a solid player overseas. Dozier could be a solid NBA player though, if he gains weight and adds a little more shooting he could start one day.

Somewhere between Ty Thomas and Hakim Warrick

That's what I see in his game.

Yeah I see him as kind of a Hakeem Warrick but he's not quite the athlete Warrick or Thomas are.
