Vladimir Radmanovic
NBA Comparison: Peja Stojakovic
Kedrick Brown
NBA Comparison: Jerome Kersey Strengths: At 9 rebounds and 3 assists per game, his stats indicate he is more of a banger than a ball handler. It’s possible this was what his team needed but 6-7 PF’s are common in juco ball. Has some versitility.
Joe Johnson
NBA Comparison: Penny Hardaway Strengths: Only a given few have the ball skills that Johnson possesses at 6-9. Penny Hardaway (6-7), Lamar Odom, and Magic Johnson come to mind. Has very good vision and passing skills. Great intangibles. Has that certain feel for the game that the great ones have, knows where to be, what to do. Great shot, handle, passing, vision, confidence. Weaknesses: Must get stronger, learn the game. Entering just his sophomore season, Johnson still has alot of basketball to learn. Must stay aggressive.
Rodney White
NBA Comparison: Glenn Robinson Strengths: Versatile forward with both a post and perimeter game….. Has very good potential…… A 6-10 player with the ability to put the ball on the floor, create off the dribble, and knock down jumpshots with range.
Sagana Diop
NBA Comparison: Bob Lanier Strengths: Sagana Diop is a very athletic big man. he’s close to 300 pounds and runs the floor like a small forward. he’s very fast. coming from senegal, africa, he’s only been playing competitive basketball for a few years so he figures to get a lot better. right now his best asset is his defense. he can hold opposing centers virtually scoreless with his smothering style of defense. he is a very good shot blocker, and can also help out and block other opposing players shots. Weaknesses: he is not super polished offensively.
Eddie Griffin
NBA Comparison: Tim Duncan Strengths: One of the top overall talents in college basketball already… Has all the makings of a future NBA superstar.. Only 18, and has a ton of physical developing to do, a scary thought… Can stroke shots all the way out to college 3… Similar to A-Rahim with his smoothness, and offensive skills, but has even more athleticism.. Very strong post and intermediate game… Has excellent rebounding and defensive skills.. Very calm court demenor, (similar to Tim Duncan) doesn’t get rattled easily..
Shane Battier
NBA Comparison: Bobby Jones
Jason Richardson
NBA Comparison: Vince Carter
Pau Gasol
NBA Comparison: Toni Kukoc
Tyson Chandler
NBA Comparison: Rasheed Wallace Strengths: 7 footers with his athleticism come around every 10-20 years. Has good desire, and intelligence. Good shot blocker. Has good passing ability. Can shoot the ball well, and runs the floor like a deer. Has a chance to be a special special player in a few years.
Kwame Brown
NBA Comparison: Kevin Garnett Strengths: Like Garnett, KB has freakish athleticism. Already bulkier than Garnett and could turn into more of a Webber type post player. Very graceful running the floor. Tremendous leaping aility. Passes and handles extraordinarily well for a 6-11 player. May still be growing. Touch on shots is excellent, and should only improve. Post game is solid. Very good shot blocker.
Eddy Curry
NBA Comparison: Shaquille O’Neal Strengths: Has more strength and polish than Shaq at the same age. The only thing that can stop Eddy Curry from becoming the next dominant force in the NBA is Eddy Curry. Has off the charts strength. athleticism is very good for a player his size. Has learned to score despite constant double and triple teams. Has a nifty turn around, can even knock down the occaisional 18 footer. Unlike Shaq and Wilt, does not have the achilles freethrow curse.
