There is definitely a few Potential Stars in the 2010 Draft. How many do you think can or will be? and who?

IMO

John Wall- we already know the potential in the world is there.

Derrick Favors- super athletic big man who is a combo forward as of now, if he can expand his range and perimeter skills can be a terriffic pro at SF, He is a bit undersized at the PF in the NBA , but his athleticism would make up for it he would have to work on his footwork and post skills as well as get stronger if he plans to be a PF at the next next level.

Paul George- some people think he is all hype and that may be true, but from what Ive seen from him is is very quick and super explosive and he has a pretty jumper and some smoothe handle, he has all the tools just needs to have the right mentality

Donatas Motiejunas- this guy is just too versatile not to be a potential star. he can do everything from handle like a wing player to post up like a big man with a array of moves down-low. he has NBA 3-pt range and very ice mechanics, I think if he keeps on expanding his game he can be a matchup nightmare at any level , he could possibly play positions 3-5 in the NBA.

Agree? Disagree? Do you see any others?

[Michael.S.Participant]

Wow I forgot Ed Davis my bad.

[QHaynes20]

all the guys you named and…

John Henson- I see KG with more handles

[Henry25Participant]

Definetley agree with Wall and Favors. I havent seen much of Donatas Motiejunas, but I’ve heard he is pretty legit. And I think Paul George is a stud who has a lot of potential, but i would like to see develop a bit more. And as for Davis, I understand why people like him so much, but I’m just not that impressed. He is a big, long and athletic player, but I havent seen a lot of skill. If he plays really well this year then i’ll jump on the bandwagon haha, but anything less than ACC Player of the year consideration I’ll be diasspointed.

ps. I think Henson who is gonna be a fresham at UNC has more potenial than Davis

[JNixonParticipant]

John Wall and Derrick Favors are players Im very confident in saying will be all-star/superstar players in the NBA in the 2010 class.

[GoodbyeChandlerParticipant]

sylven landesberg

[Bryant24Participant]

yeah John wall is the sure fire superstar out of that draft but that draft has alot of all stars

[Tha King2121Participant]

your the only one who is high on John Henson.

does anyone else think hes that great

[HaleParticipant]

I think he could be really good but not KG like.

[Michael.S.Participant]

No he is actually a pretty good prospect.next years draft is stacked at PF though and he is only a fresh. so I dont know if hell enter. if he does he might slip unless anyone takes a shot at drafting him for his potential.

[Bryant24Participant]

How bout willie warren what yall think about him

[catoosanumber22]

WILLIE WARREN

[QHaynes20]

Im telling you now man. He needs to grow into his body and once he does, I can see him as a superstar in the NBA

[JNixonParticipant]

He has alot of talent, he very skilled but until he polishes his skills a little more and gets stronger and more physical he is a 2011 draft prospect. He is a good prospect though, very talented.

[HaleParticipant]

To be honest I liked Willie Warren when I first saw him in the McDonalds All American game, not because he dropped 20 but because he looked cool…so my opinion on him doesn’t matter ahha.

[Michael.S.Participant]

Warren?He needs to find a position first.

[QHaynes20]

Since he played SG in HS b4 his growth spurt. I think he can be a Combo Forward at the next level

[JNixonParticipant]

^^^ Thats very true as well. I do think he’s a wing player though

[rickybobbyParticipant]

Both John Henson and Ed Davis are going to be lottery picks in the draft if they both decide to come out. Henson is a player that can play the post or out on the wing because of his skills and his great athletic ability. Davis to me can become a very good post player. For some reason he makes me think of Tim Duncan. Hes not as skilled as Duncan but if he continue to work on he can become. With constant work on his post game Davis can become a more athletic Duncan.

[Bryant24Participant]

Yea i dont know if he is a point guard or shooting guard he remind me of a poor mans dwayne wade who shoots more they said the same thing about dwade in college they said he was a undersized two guard

[Michael.S.Participant]

Wing player? he can be but he needs to work on his perimeter skills and ball handling , his jumper looks pretty good, but he should work on that too

[DeAndreParticipant]

What about
Devin Ebanks

[QHaynes20]

wing player…are you talking about Warren or Henson?

Ebanks can be good in the NBA

[Michael.S.Participant]

Henson Q

[JNixonParticipant]

He actually is a good ball handler, and he has a sound 1st step. He isnt a long range shooter, but he has a good (but raw) mid-range game. He going to be good, I like him alot more than Ed Davis.

[QHaynes20]

Henson cant play the 1 or the 2…he’s 6-10.

[Michael.S.Participant]

he does Iggy, but the 3 postion in the NBA is no Joke , Lebron, Durant, Melo, Granger ect. . Those guys perimeter skills as on now are far ahead of Hensons thet’s why he needs to continue to develop in all the aspects of being a wing player

[Michael.S.Participant]

Henson cant play the 1 or the 2…he’s 6-10.

Me? hahaha I know that man

[Bryant24Participant]

Yea John henson is nice but roy williams goin to the same thing with him that he did with ed davis come off the bench for deon thompson who better than and ed davis but who will get more minutes Henson or tyler zeller

[QHaynes20]

He’s taller then most of those guys

[Michael.S.Participant]

But that don’t matter if he plays the 3 in the NBA , unless he can shoot over people . he should be able to in the NBA, but his jumper needs work, that’s why I said he needs to keep working on his perimeter skills

[JNixonParticipant]

Yea thats why I said he would be best served coming into the L in 2011, so he can get stronger and develop his skill set a little more.

[QHaynes20]

His jumper doesnt need work, it looks good to me.

I would not be shocked if a Team looks at Henson with the 1st pick. His upside is downright nasty. I feel, he has the highest potential and He should be a 1 and done guy because I see him starting for UNC this year

[Michael.S.Participant]

Yes!That would be the best thing to do.

[JNixonParticipant]

His 3 point jumper is not on an NBA level, lets be serious. He has NBA-level mid range tools, but his 3 point game isnt on an NBA level.

[Michael.S.Participant]

His jumper doesnt need work, it looks good to me.

His jumper definitely needs work 100%, his form is not that great, very streaky, needs to extend his range alot.
!st pick in 2011 maybe MAYBE

[QHaynes20]

I see him coming out in 2010 and he will be a high pick. If he breaks out this year, I would not be shocked if he gets consideration with the 1st pick

[Bryant24Participant]

Qhaynes20 whose better John Henson or Derrick favors

[Michael.S.Participant]

1 thing , lets hold off with the jumper for 1 sec.
he needs to develop his whole game outside on the perimeter. His jumper is decent at best in the NBA and not close to the avg. SF’s jumper in the NBA. He needs to work on creating his shot off on the perimeter, ball handling, extending his range, everything

[Bryant24Participant]

Henson numbr one pick in 2011 draft not 2010 with john wall derrick favors and i can name more but thats your opinion

[JNixonParticipant]

There’s always a chance, and its not about where he would go to me, its about how good he would be by leaving for 2010 or 2011. If he left in 2010, it would delay his development and make him a Brandan Wright type player. But if he left in 2011 he would be a much better player and prospect.

[QHaynes20]

He can be a SF and a PF. I think he can work on O while be a PF and extend his range. Plus your forgetting he played SG in HS a couple years ago

[cashmherecfParticipant]

Evan Turner from OSU – the guy is a sleeper.
plus he went to school for three years and he has a good iq for the game to lead a team at the 2 guard spot

[McWinningParticipant]

my picks are Turner, and Aminu i think they both will be really good pros.

[lalailaParticipant]

wooow finally someone remember him, I think he is most underrated prospect in this forum, he is #3 in DX and #6 in espn, if he can get 20ppg and let’s say 4apg this season with his strong body, athleticism and crazy handles he can go very high…

talking about stars, some people predict that this class could become special…i think:
Superstars- John Wall & Derrick Favors
All-Stars- Motiejunas, Monroe, Davis(maybe), Warren(maybe)
Strange Superstars potential: Henry and Sidney..Xavier was #1 player in HS before McDonald’s, and everyone knows that Sidney have at least top5 talent, but they not even in the lottery

[thaprodigyParticipant]

I think Avery Bradley could become a star he can put up points in bunches
