Early Look: 2009 NBA Draft


Since I have not scouted any of the foreign players I will just ignore them and go from college players. This will eventually be altered when the teams get their respected picks but here is an early look:

1. Blake Griffin  -  aggressive on both sides of the ball, every possession; out of control at times 
2. Demar DeRozan  -  could significantly contribute in the NBA without college experience; most hyped player out of CA since Paul Pierce
3. Hasheem Thabeet  -  good speed for size; elite defensive ability/instincts; still raw, vast potential 
4. James Harden -  very balanced offensively; superior vision; understands team concept; a bit undersized for his position at 6-4
5. BJ Mullens -  NBA body; numerous low post moves with ability to step out to 17 feet; ability depends on development... that isn't Thad Matta's strong suit


There is the top 5; picks 6-10 should be up later this week.
