I watch mostly Pac10 basketball, and I’ve had a pretty good feel for judging potential over the last 15 years. Here is my order of the top 5:

1)DeRozan-major potential and plays well around the basket both finishing and rebounding.
2)Hill-offensive is ahead of defense and has a great face up game for a big.
3)Harden-Crafty and an underrated shooter, but limited athletically
4)Holiday-all the tools are there, no obvious weakness, just needs to put it togather.
5)Budinger-Terriffic athlete and shooter who should be a safe pick and solid contributor, but limited potential.

Holiday-no obvious weakness?? He cant score and has barely played any point guard at UCLA. Pretty bad prospects for a guy who people think should play the point in the nba. He should just go back to college

I would love Toronto to draft DeMar if he drops to them, otherwise, we’ll settle for Gerald Henderson.

and for phoenix, getting a franchaise point guard in Flynn is more important than replacing Hill at SF. Johnny Flynn has the ability to excel in the NBA and Phoenix should not pass on that chance.

llperez…does that mean no griffin??

jaredpaul- I was just refering to the pac-10 guys. Yes Griffin is clearly #1.

About Holiday- yes he needs to be given time running the point and become more consistent with his jumpshot which is why he is mostly potential right now. However, when he has handled the ball he did quite well. He can go by people, play under control, has good athleicism and finishing skills, solid D, and his shot has good form. All the tools are there with no reason to believe he can’t be a great all around player. But like I said, he needs to show that he can put it all together. More time in college would be great, especially with Collison and Shipp leaving wich would give him free reign over the team.

However, I don’t think coming back to school would neccesarily improve his pg skills like everyone suggests. Even when Collison did’nt play last year, Jerime Andersen ran the point with Holiday at the 2. I believe that is what they would do again next year keeping Holiday at the 2.
