20 points 12 rebounds 2 blocks one of the best big fowards in draft Ahmad nivins

[btownkid]

he is a good player that should get drafted and has a chance to be good he isnt actually one of the top few but deserves to be given a chance

[Scott42444Participant]

Eastern Illinois had 2 guys in 2001 who were Top 5 in the NCAA in scoring. Kyle Hill (23.8) and Henry Domercant (22.8). By your logic, Eastern should have won the NCAA tournament. There is a reason why college statistics don’t get used all the time when judging a player’s chances in the NBA. There are a thousand guys in the past decade who look great on paper but don’t pan out in the pros.

Reggie Williams from VMI led the nation in scoring two years in a row, 2006-2007 (28.1) and 2007-2008 (27.8), this site (NBADraft.net) had him with the 3rd best basketball IQ out of all the players in the draft, they listed him as the fifth-best passer, and he’s a 6’5” shooting guard/small forward type. If you look at him on paper, you cannot figure out how a guy who is one of only 9 guys who led the nation in scoring multiple times and has the size and basketball smarts to succeed isn’t a high draft pick. But, the fact of the matter is, the NBA is ridiculously hard. The people on the court have athleticism that is off the charts. There are intangibles that certain players have and others don’t. You know what, hell, I can’t really think of why Reggie Williams isn’t on an NBA roster. Maybe he is and I didn’t hear about it, but if that were the case I don’t think that he did that well since it probably would have caught my eye. But, there are other guys like Adam Morrison that you could use as an example too.

Hell, that’s it, I am about to start a new topic about Adam Morrison. He hasn’t done a thing in the NBA even though his stats and physical attributes would lead someone to believe that he could dominate in the NBA. I am guessing that he couldn’t overcome his athletic deficiencies, but to be honest I haven’t seen many Charlotte Bobcats games and he hasn’t played for the Lakers.

stop doing this ok, every 2 of 3 days you pick a random 2n round pick and hype him up

He is a fringe 2nd rounder now stop it

Name a quality big man he played?

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=26901

I mean if you put Blake Griffin against teams, each would avg 35ppg and 20rpg easy

[gatorheelsParticipant]

haha yeah btownkid you do pick some random dude that is unlikely to be drafted and hype them up. I think it is pretty funny. Actually I think Nivins has a descent chance to be drafted but I still predict he won’t be.

[Knicksboy34Participant]

I understand that but come on,

1st -Lester Husdon
2nd-John Bryant
3rd- Luke Nevill and now Ahmad Nivins?

Come on now. Everyone who enters the draft deserves a chance but in a conference with minimum NBA stars, he wont get a fair chance

[gatorheelsParticipant]

Nivins has a better chance of being drafted than your boy John Bryant haha.

[btownkid]

ther arent a lot of big guys in this draft and for a second round team who needs a big guy hes a steal

[Knicksboy34Participant]

LOL….yea he does.

[gatorheelsParticipant]

Lester Hudson is real good though. I think he will get drafted.

[Meditated StatesParticipant]

I looked at their schedule though and don’t see any games where he could show and prove verse top level talent. He will get the invite to some camps with those numbers for sure.

[btownkid]

I definitly think that nivins is a lot better than bryant. Bryant weighs to much and may fall to late round 2 because of it

[gatorheelsParticipant]

Dude John Bryant will not get drafted. The fact that he weighs to much means that he will be lucky to find a spot on an team over in Europe. Not to mention he is slow & clumsy and won’t be a factor. John Bryant wouldn’t even be the first pick at my local YMCA.

[btownkid]

hes still got talent and someone will take a chance on him

[gatorheelsParticipant]

If he does get drafted I will give you mad props for being right.

[Knicksboy34Participant]

John Bryant wouldn’t even be the first pick at my local YMCA.

LOL. 2nd pick?

[gatorheelsParticipant]

Maybe 2nd Round….of the YMCA draft hahahahhahahhahah

[btownkid]

man your local ymca must be awesome if he would fall to 2

[Knicksboy34Participant]

Maybe 2nd Round….of the YMCA draft- LOL

man your local ymca must be awesome if he would fall to 2-LOLOLOLOLOL ( I have to give you props for that one)

[Knicksboy34Participant]

Dude john bryant is so big he did not know he got stabbed.

[btownkid]

dont make fat jokes

[btownkid]

thats crazy he is fat

[Knicksboy34Participant]

im not, you said he his too big, im just saying that you were right’ he is kinda big at 275

[gatorheelsParticipant]

He used to weight 360 wow he lost some weight thats good. I can’t believe he got stabbed 3 times and didn’t even know it thats crazy.

[mb6297]

Its fine, stop hating on this guys picks. If they don’t go in the 2nd round…

They will all get drafted by the D-league.

[NYKnicksuperFanParticipant]

are you these guys agent cuz no casual fan would agree with you
maybe you think NBA GM’s are actually lookin at this and draft your clients

[btownkid]

these are good young players who have talent and anyone that doesnt see that is an idiot

[Knicksboy34Participant]

yes…college talented…not NBA talented.

[btownkid]

what makes him not nba talented

[j1232eParticipant]

Only because this draft is very lite with big bodies, he might get more of a look late 2nd. Big center a becoming very rare in the nba.

[Knicksboy34Participant]

thank you, more PF are playing C because the NBA is becoming faster.

[auberParticipant]

I’m not going to get into this John Bryant thing, but all’s I have to say is he’s a bitch.

If I were to make an NBA comparison to any NBA player I wouldn’t even bother to give him rich man or poor man status. He’s a Homeless Chris Kaman.

[Knicksboy34Participant]

Auber you gota read the article about he got stabbed.

[auberParticipant]

That’s priceless. Were going to make him an internet legend!

[btownkid]

[btownkid]

[boomboomboomParticipant]

[btownkid]

evrerythang

[j1232eParticipant]

[Stanford hoopsParticipant]
