NBA Comparison: Pete Maravich
Strengths: Arguably the best European guard prospect since Drazen Petrovic, if not better ... Has a natural feel for the game that very few posses, especially at such a young age ... Used to dominate at Spanish and even European U16 level ... Incredibly dominant scorer ... Has that ability, much like Ginobili, to find a way to the basket regardless what the defense does ... Shows tremendous creativity in a multitude of ways, especially passing and scoring ... Virtually unstoppable in one-on-one situations ... Ambidextrous, can dribble and drive with either hand. But has some problems finishing with the left hand ... Maintains great balance in the air, which is less typical for European guards ... He can penetrate, receive the foul and still finish ... A strong rebounder ... Grabs rebounds under his own basket and goes coast to coast, much like Jason Kidd ... Has nice court vision, very good at finding a teammate on the fast break ... A "scorer-passer": draws two or three defenders and dishes it out to the open man, but can also find people under the basket ... Takes good care of the ball, doesn't turn the ball over as much as you would expect from a player his age, especially considering his creativity ... Extremely mature for his age, and clutch. He lives for pressure situations ... Has quick hands, always going for the steal ... Impressive man-to-man defender ... Has soild leaping ability ... Great physical characteristics, long arms and big hands ... He might grow another inch or two ... Great size for a point guard at 6-4, anyway.

Weaknesses: Streaky shooter, lacks a consistent shot from the three point line ... Hit only .200 of his three pointers at the U16 Euros 2006 ... Free throw shooting is solid at 71.8, but should improve ... Too "Kobe-esque" at times, tries to go 1 on 4, which works most of the times on Cadet level but certainly not on ACB or NBA level ... Not a real "floor general" yet, somewhat static in organizing plays in half court. His strength is in the fast break … Unless he grows another few inches, he’ll need to focus on better developing his point guard skills … Sometimes gambles too much for steals on defense ... Needs to get stronger; since he is only 175 pounds ... Could use another 15-20 pounds of muscle ... Still completely unproven on the senior level ...

Notes: Made his pro debut on October 15, 2005, becoming the youngest ever to play in Spain's ACB at merely 14 years of age ... Won the MVP Award at the 2006 U16 European Championships after arguably the most dominant performance in tournament history, leading the competition in points, rebounds, assists and steals. Scored 51 points, grabbed 24 rebounds and dished out 12 assists in the 110-106 finale victory over Russia ... First player to score 50+ points in FIBA Europe Youth competition since Luol Deng scored 50 for England in a 90-97 Qualifying Round loss versus Turkey on August 1, 2001 ... Signed through the 2011 season with DKV Joventut Badalona ... Made his Euroleague debut on October 24, 2006, versus Panathinaikos Athens.

The player hailed by many to be king of the class of 2008 was incredibly disappointing in his matchup with fellow top five member Greg Monroe, scoring only 11 points. It was clear that we were looking at a shooting guard playing the point guard position, as Evans looked to score first and second, then pass third. He showed some very poor shot selection early in the game, but it did improve slightly as the game went on. His selfishness and lack of any type of real feel for the game is pretty concerning when you consider how many Team Final possessions ended with only Evans touching the ball.

It was clear that Tyreke did have some skills, as he showed off a nice outside jumper and was very crafty once he got inside of the paint. It was just unfortunate that a player who is as talented of a scorer as he is is relegated to playing the point guard position when he would be much better suited off of the ball. The Philadelphia sophomore may have won the game against Greg Monroe, but he definitely lost the battle as to who was the number one player in the class of 2008 in our eyes.

Special scorer on the wing. Must watch to see if he develops into a point guard down the road. Goes on big runs from down. Excellent finisher because he understands how to use his body.

Biography:

Scouting Athletic, hard working, "special talent" are some of the early accolades he's earned from local observers. Multiple positions, perimeter ability and scoring in bunches are what he's already displayed. Smooth, with a tremendous feel and passing ability.

Soph: Named to AP All-State Class A first team. Averaged 25.4 ppg, 8.8 rpg, 5.3 apg, 3.8 spg, (80.6% FT, 48% 3pt)

FR Already off to a great start. Routinely goes for 20+ and has delivered on his considerable reputation. Scout.com views him as the top freshman in the country.

nbadraft is a bunch of idiots. They have D.J. Augustin in the 2nd round, Eric Maynor as the 3rd to last pick, and no Scottie Reynolds in either the 08 or 09 mocks. They have no idea what they're talking about...

Jesus......DOB 1990...damn im gettin old :lol:

DJ Augustin will have a very hard time making it to the NBA, in my opinion. Maynor will need another stellar tournament to make it to the first round.

Parks’ son dreams of playing for RP 5
By Joaquin Henson

Wednesday, May 16, 2007

Seven-time PBA Best Import awardee Bobby Parks’ Fil-Am son Ray is growing up to be just like his celebrated father and dreams of someday playing for the Philippine national team.

Ray, 14, stands 6-3, weighs 178 pounds and averages 25 points, seven rebounds and five assists for the Ridgeway Middle School varsity in Memphis. He was the youngest player invited to play in the recent three-day, 17-and-under Las Vegas Easter Classic and stood out in the tournament.

Ray is one of Parks’ four children. The eldest is Quincy, 25, and lives in Bolivar, Tennessee. Parks, 45, had a brief relationship with a black American woman when he played at Memphis State and sired Quincy. Then, Parks had two children, Ray and 11-year-old Celine Ira, with Marifer Celine (Shane) Barbosa, a Filipina now living in Los Angeles.

Today, Parks lives in Memphis with Filipina wife, Jasmine, and Ray. Jasmine’s daughter from a previous relationship stays with them. Parks’ son with Jasmine, Montell, 6, lives in Manila. Jasmine is an activity therapist while Parks owns a transportation business and conducts basketball camps in Memphis.

Ray, whose godfathers are PBA Hall of Famer Norman Black and former Ateneo cager Bobby Rius, said he learned to play when he was five in his father’s hoop school in Manila. Ray lived in Para

He's 5-10 and hasn't really shown anything outside his penetration skills that warrants a first round pick.

yeah me too...he's younger than I am and I'm still in High School.

[Lebron23]

Where's Brandon Jenning in all this? and Kyle Singler as number 3?!?! he's an ugly guy who can only shoot open jumpers.

Rick Rubio could be projected higher than 4th. Possibly even number 1, i mean this kid dropped 50 points once in an international under 21s game...

most the other guys i have no clue about so i wont comment

Last Updated: 9/18/2006




Greg Monroe is one of the hottest names on the summer circuit, and had a chance to prove himself against incumbent class of 2008 top dog Tyreke Evans and a loaded Team Final squad.. It may be hasty to come to any definitive conclusions about such a young prospect, but Greg Monroe was clearly the best prospect on the floor this afternoon.

At 6'10, Monroe is a freak athlete, gliding up and down the floor and getting off his feet incredibly quick. He looks great with the ball in his hands in the open floor, and his first step was good enough to get past whatever Team Final big man was attempting to guard him. His handle needs work, particularly with his much weaker right hand (his off hand), but one gets the feeling that it is only a matter of time before he is operating comfortably on the perimeter. But Monroe is far from your typical perimeter-oriented big man that shies away from contact in the paint. He can certainly bring more consistent effort on the block, but displays great footwork and the ability to create his own shot in a multitude of ways. He appears to be equally comfortable with his back to or facing the basket. Monroe is a phenomenal shot blocker, showing great timing, long arms, and incredibly quick leaping ability. In this game, Team Final apparently didn’t prepare for his ability to alter shots, and continued to drive blindly into his reach. Monroe ended the game with at least 7 blocks, and altered countless others.

While the early review on Monroe is largely positive, it should be mentioned that his development curve is just beginning. Like many young bigs, Monroe still tends to focus on his immediate space when it comes to defense and loose balls, and clearly gets down the floor much more quickly on the offensive end than on defense. His hands are remarkable once he is executing a scoring move, but look a bit weaker when he is corralling a pass or going after a loose ball. Due to this and his insistence on operating on the perimeter, Monroe committed at least eight turnovers in this game. Body strength is an issue as well, though he is further along than plenty of big men at this stage. His footwork and understanding of how to get his shot off near the basket is outstanding, but he missed a lot of very makeable shots today. Experience and polish will clearly help with this.

After viewing several of the top prospects in the class of 2008 over the past several days, I was starting to wonder where the “wow” factor was in this rising junior class. However, Greg Monroe clearly fits the bill. He is still very raw, but the athleticism and feel are undeniable. Comparisons are difficult at the moment, as Monroe has the tools to develop into whatever type of player he wants to be. Monroe’s recruitment is still in it’s infancy, but he appears to be enjoying all the new-found attention. Plenty of heavy hitters (Rick Pitino and Louisville, John Brady and LSU, Mississippi State, Connecticut, North Carolina to name a few) were in attendance this afternoon, and Monroe is clearly going to be a priority for any high major that thinks they have a chance. Judging by today’s performance, it won’t be long before the name Greg Monroe is a staple in NBA Draft circles.

I think in any NBA Draft big men always came on top so I think Greg Monroe will be selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft.

It is some Exhibition Games featuring Team USA going up againts the best HS player from other countries.

* Team USA is divided into 3 other different teams.

Ricky Rubio I think will be getting enough experience playing in Europe and might enter the NBA Draft in 2010.

I cannot wait for Greg Monroe schooling all the veteran big men in the NBA in 2009 and beyond.

[chains5000]

Ricky Rubio I think will be getting enough experience playing in Europe and might enter the NBA Draft in 2010.
His buyout will be a key factor too. Thin about his teammate Rudy Fernandez,he probably won't play next year in the league because of this.

[AtTheDriveIn]

Anyway, on topic. It's way to early to even be setting up these kind of mocks. Rubio is 6'5 by the way, so your source is outdate, and he's almost a sure fire top 2 pick. You don't get touted as 'the best thing since Petrovic' and not go top 2. Also, he leads his league in SPG and only averages (last I heard) 17 minutes per game. Guy is going to be a lot better, and will go higher then the 4th pick.

I've never even heard of Greg Monroe. He'll probably drop to late first round by next year I'm guessing.

[BradMiller52]

Hey Lebron23, you've finally found another play whose dick you can ride. Good for you.

Hey Ms. Atthedrivein Ricky Rubio is not 6'5 not 6'4 he is 6'3 because i have seen a picture of him standing with his teammate Rudy Fernandez who is only 6'4 3/4 ( NBA Pre Draft Measurement) their is no way he is taller than 6'3 maybe 6'3 1/4 in a good day.

Dominating Big men always rank higher in the NBA Draft beside Monroe is already 6'10 their is so many Europeans that are younger than Rubio and better than him if he was a star quality player if must at least play for 29 minutes in the Euro League.

You will just kiss the @ss of Greg Monroe when he gets the no.1 over all pick in 2009. Rubio might not even make it in the NBA maybe in 2010-2011 because he also has a buy out contract to his club like Fernandez.

Ricky plays behind veteran PGs, plus his coach and the club are trying to "protect" him. They don't want to ruin him. After all, he's still very young.
If he wasn't a star quality player, he wouldn't lead the euroleague in steals in so few minutes, don't you think?
Can you name "many Europeans that are younger than Rubio and better than him"?

Let's not turn this into a 'you're a liar' thing. Just talk basketball.

Anyway, from reports off ESPN and a couple other sites, it's said that he's 6'5 so i choose to believe that. Rudy Fernandez is 6'6 according to himself, so i choose to believe that too. So the logical thing would be that Rubio is shorter then Fernandez.

Rubio is one year of out high school man, he's young as ****. There aren't many players with the crazy skills this guy has. I mean he dominates, absolutley dominates on the National level. That's unheard of. He has a triple double game in the U17 championship or whatever, and now he's leading the Spanish League (tougher competition then the NCAA) in stealing whilst not even playing half the game. I've never even heard of this Monroe guy until now, and I doubt anyone who doesn't live in his area hasn't either. The NBADraft.net guys say some pretty lame things and predict players a little high. Hell, they had Chris Taft at number 2/3 a couple of years ago and where is he now?

It doesn't matter when Rubio comes into the league, the point is, he's IMO a better prospect then what Monroe apparently is according to your sources. So, no I wont be kissing anyones ass at the NBA Draft 2009.

In response to Chains500 we all know Ricky Rubio is a great player but some little caucasian like Atthedrivein tried to overrated him. The Competition is good in Europe but definitely most NBA Scouts would select a 6'10 no.1 Juniors HS player in the 2009 NBA Draft. You cannot teach height and skills he is already owning some of the better prospect from the other country.

I do not care about your comment Atthedrivein you will always be a little piece of corn fart in my eyes.

If Rubio has no jumpshot, then he does pretty well to get the whole. Probably the best player in ages considering he's a pretty crazy scorer.

Whose trying to overrate who? Ask anybody. No one has heard of Monroe and the first thing you said about him was 'he's the next millionaire' in the NBA, which obviously, if you know about salary cap and contracts, isn't true.

Some teams in Europe (Real Madrid for instances) could challenge a couple NBA teams by the way. Could the same be said about any HS teams?

Talk basketball and stop insulting me when I've done **** you. Stop crying because I'm right and you're not.

2 cms are nothing... not all sites report if players wear shoes when measured, so it's normal to find differences between them

Under NBA rules, they (Madrid) can't.
Their big men are too slow. Felipe Reyes wouldn't be half as good.

When i said the next Millionaire i am talking about the lottery pick in their draft class because they will earn some huge contract, endorsements and some national attention. That is why when your an NBA Player like them you have one of the biggest earnings compare to other people who work 5 days a week.

Okay, that's fair enough. Explain to me this though --

Why would a team take a guy from high school whose put up some pretty common stats and who probably will lose draft stock in a couple seasons over a guy whose virutally the same age and is playing in a much tougher league and is a leading defensive player?

This situation can be compared to the 2007 NBA Draft like Kevin Durant has some Amazing Collegiate Stats compare to Greg Oden but GM's and NBA Scouts select Greg Oden as the no.1 overall pick because he is a big men and talented big men are very rare in a draft class compare to the number of great PG's and SG in an NBA Draft. Unless Ricky Rubio average at least 22.3 PPG and crown as a defensive player of the league like Allen Iverson who is a scorer in College and a 2 time Big East Defensive Player of the year I might conclude that Rubio will be the 2nd PG to be selected as the no.1 overall pick in the NBA Draft.

But we also have the history of drafting talented PG in the Euro League and in the USA the likes of Beno Udrih, Carlos Arroyo, Bobby Hurley and Roro Ukic who is one of the best player in their country who failed in their full expectation and hype. So by picking a PG in the draft you are seriously guarantee that he will be the Franchise of your team. But in a very logical sense i guest Greg Monroe will be the unanimous choice for the no.1 overall pick because like Beasley and Oden he got the skills, size and the talent that can lead him to become an NBA ALL Star in the near future.

Rubio is good but he might still be a top 5 player in his draft class.

Numerous scouts have Monroe ranked #1 in the country, and it is easy to see why. The 6’10 forward with a 7’0 wing-span has Kevin Garnett-like upside. He is a great athlete and is very mobile for his size. Only a junior, Monroe already has a polished offensive game and has the moves to dominate down low. He has impressed scouts with his ability to step away from the basket and hit the jumper. He can also handle the ball well for his size and is a good passer. On the defensive size of the ball, he is an intimidating shot blocker and has all the tools to dominate the glass. His biggest weakness at this point is that he plays in spurts. While he has the potential to dominate games, at this point he only dominates part of the game. When Monroe picks up his intensity, he could be the most dominate big man since Greg Oden.

Newsfeed:

12/22/2006 (City of Palms- Ft. Myers, FL)- Monroe was the 7th ranked player in our City of Palms performance rankings: "he is a superstar when he asserts himself."

12/19/2006 (City of Palms- Ft. Myers, FL)- Along with Arizona-bound Jarryd Bayless, Monroe was the day's top performer: "Even with Charlotte doing a superb job of defending the big guy, he still got his. Monroe finished with 21 points (10-15fg), 9 rebounds and 4 blocks. He scored in every way possible including big-time post moves, dribble drives that ended in dunks, and coast-to-coast finishes in transition. One of the very elite players in the 2008 class."

7/15/2006- "Greg Monroe was the HoopsReport.com MVP of the 16u division at Nike Peach Jam after leading the division in scoring at 21ppg..."

7/13/2006 (Nike Peach Jam)- "The New Orleans Panthers' Greg Monroe had a big game against the New York Guachos as he scored half of his team's 62 points (31)..."

7/10/2006 (Nike All-American Camp- Indianapolis, IN)- Monroe was the 15th ranked player and 2nd ranked underclassman in the Nike Camp Fab 50: "If it wasn't for Cordell Passley's outstanding performance this week, Greg would have been our top rated underclassman, and he was still the top college prospect of all the players. He has good hands and is a polished scorer. He takes up a lot of space in the lane with his wide shoulders and looks like a guy that will add to his 226lb. frame by college. Greg was a force on the boards on both ends of the court and was good for a lot of offensive putbacks. He seems most comfortable away from the basket, but will be a force when he starts demanding the ball down low. Top 5 player in the class of 2008."

This situation can be compared to the 2007 NBA Draft like Kevin Durant has some Amazing Collegiate Stats compare to Greg Oden but GM's and NBA Scouts select Greg Oden as the no.1 overall pick because he is a big men and talented big men are very rare in a draft class compare to the number of great PG's and SG in an NBA Draft. Unless Ricky Rubio average at least 22.3 PPG and crown as a defensive player of the league like Allen Iverson who is a scorer in College and a 2 time Big East Defensive Player of the year I might conclude that Rubio will be the 2nd PG to be selected as the no.1 overall pick in the NBA Draft.

But we also have the Beno Udrih, Carlos Arroyo and Roro Ukic of the NBA Draft and Bobby Hurley who failed in their full expectation and hype. So by picking a PG in the draft you are guarantee that he will be the Franchise of your team. But in a very logical sense i guest Greg Monroe will be the unanimous choice for the no.1 overall pick because like Beasley and Oden he got the skills, size and the talent that can lead him to become an NBA ALL Star in the near future.

Where'd you steal this from. Nah kidding man, good argument as long as its yours.

Anyway, Monroe, firstly has gotten no exposure. He's an unkwown player. Rubio has been heavily touted since he was extremely young. Rubio has played at the International Level, won every statistical category in the same tournament, and put up 50+ points in the European Final. That's some crazy facts if you ask me.

Now, he's playing 17-20 minutes a game in a Division 1 basketball team in probably the second toughest league in the world (debateable, but if it's not second then there's no chance it drops further then third.) and Monroe plays in High School, and doesn't seem all that different from every other high school big man whose touted as 'the next big whatever'.

I do have a couple of questions though because I'm kind of interested in this player --

A) Is Monroes height accurate? Or does he do what every other play does and inflate his height numbers.

B) What's his team record?

C) What's his stats?

D) Any acomplishments so far?

Yeah, I'd be interested to know as well. Monroe does sound kinda interesting.

Oden played hurt so his stats weren't better than Durant's but they were still great.
Ricky will never average 22.3 PPG in the ACB, here's why:
NBA game = 48 minutes
ACB game = 40 minutes
(22.3 / 40)*48 = 26.76 ppg
Yeah, right... a child playing against men will average that...
BTW, Navarro was ACB top scorer with 17.3 ppg

[wang4three]

Have any of you really seen these guys play? I mean seriously.

[chains5000]

Ricky yes, the others no

As long as we're talking about later draft players. Everyone needs to look out for Jereme Richmond. Guy is like Durant but better.

Have any of you really seen these guys play? I mean seriously.

My dad is into European Basketball, and it ocasionally comes on ESPN here in Australia. Most games are Unicaja, Real Madrid, Panathiniakos, and Tel-Aviv of course.

So yes, I've seen Rubio plenty of times, but as I said before, I haven't even heard of Monroe until now, and I was honest when I said he doesn't seem like that great a player according to these sources.

[wang4three]

Greg Monroe is pretty well known in the college recruiting game. I follow it pretty closely, if you read scout or rivals more you'd hear his name plenty.

A. He was listed at 6'10 since he was in his sophomore year in HS. He is playing basically the PF position in his team since he was a freshmen. Possibly the most talented player in the class, Monroe rebounds, finishes and blocks shots like an elite big man, but handles, passes and shoots the ball like a top-flight wing. The lefty, often compared to Lamar Odom, has done nothing to hurt his lofty status.

http://kansas.scout.com/2/656034.html



B. HS-Basketball 06-07. Record 27- 8 (.794) District 12 - 0 (1.000}



C.

Greg, all 6’10 220 pounds of him, averaged 27 points, 11 rebounds and seven blocks during his sophomore season at Harvey, Louisiana’s Helen Cox High School.

The Cougars finished the season with a 32-6 campaign and a quarterfinal appearance in the state’s 4A playoffs.

Greg made the NY Gauchos, SYF Players and California Hoops pay during the Panthers three-game run at Peach Jam, which was held in North Augusta, South Carolina. Although New Orleans fell short with a 1-2 record for the tournament, Greg posted double-doubles in two of the three games and just missed another with nine rebounds in the third.

For the tourney Monroe averaged 21 points, 13 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.7 blocks. He supplied a monster individual performance of 31 points, 15 rebounds versus the NY Gauchos, a team that featured fellow 2008 high-major prospect Jordan Theodore. Greg also rolled up 18 points, 16 boards, four assists and three blocks against the California Hoops squad.

Not one to let lofty expectations and presumptive rankings go to his head, Greg stays grounded and humble and states the main reason for all of his success.

“I owe a lot to my mom (Norma), my pastor and all the basketball coaches that help to improve my game everyday”, exclaimed Greg, who also boasts a 4.3 GPA in the classroom.

Monroe was that type of player a few weeks ago in Colorado Springs, Colo., where he dominated play at USA Basketball's Youth Development Festival. Playing five games in three days along with 29 of the top juniors and seniors in the country, Monroe led all players at the event in rebounds (12.6 per game) and blocks (3.6) and was fourth in scoring (24.0). He also dished out 2.8 assists per game and made 60 percent of his shots. If there were any questions as to whether Monroe is the best high school player in America, he answered them emphatically at the festival.

[wang4three]

Have you actually seen Kevin Durant play?:eek:
Ofcourse it was a hyperbole. I'm big on Jereme though, he's gonna be a stud. What he can do as a freshman in high school is beyond amazing.

Player Name: Brandon Jennings
Height: 6-1
Position: PG
DOB: 1990
City: Mouth of Wilson State: VA
High School: Oak Hill Academy
Summer Team: SoCal All-Stars
Draft: Early Candidate in the 2009 NBA Draft

Schools: Committed to Arizona

Bio and Scouting Report

Jennings is a very special player that has the potential to be one of the best point guards ever, and he captured the nation’s attention as a freshman when he led Compton (CA) Dominguez to the CIF Southern Section Division IIAA title.

He has since helped his stock even more. His extreme quickness and slick handle combine to make him possibly the hardest point guard in the country for defenders to stay in front of. He is an unselfish player and gifted passer that drops dimes that no one in the gym sees coming. He is one of the most entertaining players anywhere, because not only is he a slick ball handler and passer, but he has world class hops and the ability to beat his man off the dribble, get into the lane, rise above the opposing forward (and center) and throw down a nasty one-handed-flush that he had cocked back to the moon. You wouldn’t expect to see something like that from a kid as skinny as him, but Jennings plays without fear, and with a lot of swagger.

He is a southpaw with a good outside shot, but played with a pass-first mentality this summer while leading his SoCal All-Stars to a 46-0 record and a championship at every tournament they played in, including Reebok Big Time in Las Vegas. The SoCal All-Stars’ amazing run had many people saying that they were the best summer team ever.

In early September, Jennings played in the Boost Mobile Elite 24 game at the famed Rucker Park (NY). In a game in which he was one of the youngest players, playing with 24 of the top players in the country, Jennings didn’t disappoint… instead, he shined scoring 12 points and dropping an amazing 15 assists.

Brandon transferred from one hoops powerhouse to another this season when he left Dominguez to enroll at Mouth of Wilson (VA) Oak Hill. With the addition of Jennings, this Oak Hill team has a chance to be one of the best teams in high school basketball history. If that happens, he will have one hell of a resume:

SoCal All-Stars are best summer team in country, and possibly best ever… Oak Hill finishes as top high school team in country, and possibly best ever… and Brandon is the top point guard in the country that runs the show for both teams… and that would all be before his senior season. Talk about “sky is the limit”.

Newsfeed

1/1/2007 (Les Schwab Invitational- Hillsboro, OR)- Jennings was the MVP of the top notch event, and led Oak Hill to a victory over Kyle Singler's South Medford team in the championship game: "Brandon Jennings finshed with 24 points and 12 assists, exactly what you want out of a point guard. Jennings is a very gifted player who see's the play before it happens and can create nothing into something. He hit a 30 foot shot at the buzzer to end the second quarter. Will be a big time college player."

12/4/2006- Jennings led Oak Hill Academy to a 65-57 victory over national powerhouse Norcross (GA) High: "Brandon Jennings finished with 9 points and (unofficially) 13 assists. Jennings had poor shot selection in this game, but to his credit should have finished with another 5 assists and he was a terror on defense."


12/2/06- From the Oak Hill Academy (VA) vs. Jackson Provine (MS) game recap:
"Brandon Jenning’s 3rd quarter performance was nothing short of amazing. He took complete control of the game at both ends of the floor. Jennings had numerous steals, amazing passes, and dunks. The crowd was already going crazy when Jennings threw a bounce pass between his legs to Howard “Trey” Thompkins for a fast-break finish. When the smoke cleared, Oak Hill had scored 52 points in just 13 minutes to give them an 87-57 insurmountable lead."....

"Top point guard and player in the junior class nationally. World-class court vision, outstanding ball handling, good shot, and great quickness and explosiveness. After this game we think he may be the best point guard defender in the class. Could be one of the best point guards in history when it’s all said and done. Finished with 21 points, 8 assists (surely he had more?), 5 rebounds, and 5+ steals."

Jennings is frequently compared to his idol, Monta Ellis. Some see him as a left-handed Allen Iverson. While others see a black Steve Nash. He is considered to be the top rated point guard and top ten overall in the 2008 high school class.

Just stay on the topic man I want you to contribute nicely on my Thread and stop the insults. I barely know you just post some relevant comments regarding the 2009 NBA Draft Class and if you have time put some Cool Video Highlights.

[lurch67]

its too bad you ignore all who have tried to explain a point or show any originality and have INFORMED opinions. You must be so happy in your own little world. To bad your arrogance will lead to ignorace and darken the light in your mind that shines on knowledge.

BUMP :rockon:

[WhiteMosɘs]

Anyway, on topic. It's way to early to even be setting up these kind of mocks. Rubio is 6'5 by the way, so your source is outdate, and he's almost a sure fire top 2 pick. You don't get touted as 'the best thing since Petrovic' and not go top 2. Also, he leads his league in SPG and only averages (last I heard) 17 minutes per game. Guy is going to be a lot better, and will go higher then the 4th pick.

I've never even heard of Greg Monroe. He'll probably drop to late first round by next year I'm guessing.

just cuz u haven't heard of him doesn't mean he'll drop:wtf:

[AtTheDriveIn]

just cuz u haven't heard of him doesn't mean he'll drop:wtf:

Didn't say he would definitely. All I was trying to point out was that they're not some sort of spectacular stats. Chances are he likely will drop, though. Am I wrong?

when is the next center with greg oden's hype coming to the league????

[berraco]

Well, dudes, I don't see Rubio to be the top pick in 2009, and I even doubt he will be present in the 2009 Draft. As some of you have said, big men are usually selected first, even if the stats of other players are better, because they could dominate if their evolution. Sometimes it doesn't work, but GMs still prefer this situation. Best example is Darko Milicic, pick #2 over people like Anthony or Wade!!!
However, Rubio could be a very good NBA player, he has a lot of deffensive skills, and can score and assist, so I would bet a very high position when he will appear in the draft. I have seen him a lot playing in ACB and EuroLeague and he is fantastic.
There is another spanish player in the Nbadraft list, estimated pick #9, he is Victor Claver from Pamesa Valencia, a SF 6.9 feet, 18 year-old. He has been the greatest surprise during the ACB playoffs, his team played versus R.Madrid in the first round and he was able to score 18 in the second match. I don't really expect him to be a top ten pick but he has skills and can improve a lot in the next two seasons, so a top 15-20 seems reasonable, better if he increase his strength (he is very thin).

Some plays by Claver:

3. Al-Farouq Aminu 6-9 210 SF WF HSSr.

Birthday:9/21/1990
NBA Postion:SF/PF
Class:HS Senior
Ht:6-9
Wt:210
College Team:Wake Forest
Hometown:Norcross, GA
High School:Norcross


Al-Farouq Aminu is regarded by many (ourselves included) to be the top small forward prospect the class of 2008 has to offer. He has the ball handling of a guard with the body of a power forward. Aminu’s shooting range extends beyond the three point line, while he has even shown an emerging pullup jumper from midrange. The 6-foot-9 forward is an adept passer for either forward position, as his natural feel for the game generally allows him to see things on the floor before they happen.

“Farouq” possesses great size for a small forward prospect, with an outstanding wingspan to add. He is able to alter shots on the defensive end via his length and excellent timing, while showing the ability to stay out of foul trouble. His man to man defense on the perimeter could be improved upon, but we are looking at a player only 16 years of age, so there is plenty of time for development.

The most glaring weakness in Aminu’s game is his lack of post move. When receiving the ball down on the blocks, there are times when the Georgia big man looks a bit lost. He often reverts to a turnaround jumper out of the post, not fully utilizing the height advantage that he has over smaller defenders.

Wake Forest are one the four finalists for Aminu with all put Georgia Tech recruiting him as a combo forward. With improved strength and low post moves, there is no question why Aminu couldn’t wind up being a Marvin Williams type combo forward in a few years. He already owns superior perimeter skills in comparison to the current Atlanta Hawk forward in his high school days, and could eventually become a full-time small forward if he decides that is what fits his skill set best. Either way, we are looking at an incredibly skilled forward who is going to come in and make an impact upon whatever college he attends from the day he steps foot on campus.-
