Second round picks that I think will make a career in the NBA.
Jeremy Pargo-Gonzaga
Had a terrible season because he was forced to play out of his game a bit and you could tell he didnt feel comfortable doing it. He needs to work on his shot but I see him as a Will Bynum type player Micah Downs-Gonzaga Will probably have to play his way up through the D-league. Good athlete and skill set and height for position. Will need to improve defense to get a contract in the NBA, but he is almost there. Tyler Hansborough-NC IMO, will be a first round pick, but anyways- To say he's not an NBA player is ridiculous. Will he be a consistent starter? Hell no. he goes hard every play and has some skills to boot. Add your players |

AJ Price is the next Eddie House.

I think Sherron Collins and Tyrese Rice will have great careers. |
Re: Second round picks that I think will make a career in the NBA.
I don't think Sherron will be in the draft this year, and not only that I think he'll be a first rounder after his senior year.
As for the topic, the following players I like: Dante Cunningham Tyler Hansbrough (I'm sure he'll go first round) Greivis Vasquez Jeff Adrien Stanley Robinson Jerel McNeal |
Re: Second round picks that I think will make a career in the NBA.
There are a lot of smaller guards that had great college careers projected to go in the 2nd round. I really like all of these players and think they have a fair shot at earning a roster spot on an NBA bench:
A.J. Price He has gone through a lot in his life, and he always seems to find away to rise to the occassion and get things done. He can really score and this year he showed he could run a team. There is definitely a place for him in the League. Dionte Christmas I didn't see much of him in college, but on paper his numbers were very good. His skills set can use some work, but from a scoring aspect he has what it takes. Marcus Thornton He is not great in any particular facet of the game, but is a capable scorer, passer, and defender. A contender could definitely develop him slowly and turn him into a solid contributor. Toney Douglas His size may be a factor and he lacks natural PG skills, but he can flat out score. He can drive the lane and finish at the rim, pull up and stick the mid-range j, and spread the defense with his perimeter shooting. Jermaine Taylor I never saw him play in college, but he is a freak of an athlete. He has the physical tools to play in the league, it is just a matter of developing his individual skills. Sherron Collins I really like his game, but it will be interesting to see how his height affects him. He reminds me of a Nate Robinson type scorer but with more refined PG skills. Stefon Jackson Although he played in a rather weak conference, he is a pure scorer. He has decent size at 6'5", but it is difficult to project his impact based on numbers alone. It will be interesting to see how he fares in individual workouts. Jerel McNeal I'm surprised he's projected to go in the late 2nd round. As a four-year player at Marquette he proved he can do it all on both ends of the court. He is only 6'3", but his abilities should be enough to overshadow this. Tyrese Rice Although undersized, he is a big time competitor. He give 100% all the time, and his performace shows it. He can score in many ways, and there are several teams that could use him as an energizer off the bench. Wesley Matthews He's not great in any one aspect of the game, but with four years of experience he has an excellent feel for the game. He is also willing to play defense, and in the NBA that desire can earn you a role. |

I absolutely love what he can bring to a team, but hopefully he will stay at Maryland another year, develop his skills even more, and improve his draft stock in the process. The only question mark for him is regarding his maturity. He plays with passion, but can often times turn into a headcase. |

Forgot about him. He will for sure be a long time NBA'er |

Robinson's athleticism is out of this world. He definitly won't be out of place in the NBA, where athleticism reigns supreme. He does lack a bit of size though, but should be fine as a backup SF. |

Adrien can hit that elbow jumper pretty consistently, when he uses it, but he rarely uses it. What he's doing at the college level now, that being playing down low, won't work in the NBA, he's only 6'6. He's going to have to develop a decent mid range game, which he's already got the tools to do, to have some success at the next level. I don't see what's so hard to understand about that. |

Anyways, Stanley Robinson should be a late first rounder, that guy is a freak. I like Jeff Pendergraph as well. If Patrick Mills or Grievis Vasquez enter this year, I can see them succeeding. I'd like to see what Shawn Taggart can do in the NBA as well, Calipari leaving might motivate him to test the waters this year. Like Pendergraph, will never be a major contributor but will provide athleticism and hustle. |
