Rookies to watch
After my blog post here about the NBA draft lets talk about on who among them
will follow the footsteps of the young rising stars like Deron Williams and Brandon Roy. After reviewing the future rookie video clips, I will give a review on who among them will make an impact to the NBA. Greg Oden no question will lead all the rookie this year. But who will shine after him? I think Kevin Durant, Joakim Noa and Yi Jianlian. Also I would like to mention few draftees like Al Horford of Florida, Brandon Wright of North carolina and Aaron Brooks of Oregon. Lets give a brief observation on the probable shining stars in the NBA. Kevin Durant is a prolific scorer that can shoot at any given night. If Seattle will pick him he’s a great addition to this ballclub. He will surely will fit to the system of Seattle because in the past few years Seattle have been known to be a run and gun team. Yi Jianlian is another versatile scorer. He can shoot running mid range jumper and with his speed and outside shooting I think he can open up the defense of the opponent every night. And what about Joakim Noa who led Florida to 2 NCAA title? Joakim Noa will certainly make an impact in the NBA because he can play defense and a power inside.
In this draft, there are lot of international players want to try their luck in the NBA. One of the players that I’m looking at was the 7 foot 1 giant from Slovenia. I think he will follow the footstep of international player like Adreas Biedrins. Also one thing that caught my eyes was the brother of Pau Gasol, Marc Gasol, although he don’t play like Pau Gasol but I think he has potential on being close to what his brother has achieved in the NBA.
