Point Guards

1. OJ Mayo
   Well, yes, I do think he's a point guard. The great thing about Mayo is that you don't have to point out other guy's flaws to make a legitimate case for him being the best guard in the draft, which you do have to do when speaking of Rose. Mayo had an NBA jumper when he was a high school junior and it's only gotten better. His athleticism has somehow managed to be underrated over the past year, as many seemed stunned by his pre-draft workouts, which revealed he had a 42-inch vertical. Yeah, no shit. I mean, have you seen him jump? Have you seen him shoot and pass and drive over the past year? Hell, did you notice those scrubs he played with at USC? What is wrong with people?
   
2. Derrick Rose
   Honestly, I have no idea how good he'll be. I just know it's somewhere between "not" and "better than Mayo." He's the most explosive guard since Chris Paul, and I think that's a great starting point for discussing his potential. He’ll probably be more durable than Paul, but will he ever have a jump shot as dependable as CP's? And I'm tired of hearing about his leadership. He was the fastest of a young pack of greyhounds. So, yeah, in that way, he was the leader. But, I'd like to see him lead a mad ass 30 year-old PF when he's out there missing 18 footers and running one-man breaks. I do love his defense though.
   
3. Jerryd Bayless
   Not a point guard. Doesn't matter though, 'cause he good. I’ve been a Bayless fan for about four years now. He's a cutthroat lil' dude and plays with a chip on his shoulder. That first dunk in traffic is gonna wake a lot of sleeping people. By the way, why is he getting judged like a white man on athleticism? Is he so light that people don't notice how quick he is and how high he jumps? He's not Jerryd Hornacek, you fucks!
   
4. Russel Westbrook
   I like this guy. He got lost in the shuffle at UCLA, as the media was too busy licking Kevin Love's crotch to notice anyone else on the team. Westbrook is the best defender of this bunch and probably has the best temperament for managing the rigors of the NBA. He's got the demeanor of Sidney Moncrief.
   
5. Mario Chalmers
   My man. While he may not be an all-star type, I think he can be a starter on a title team. I just watched the Blazers get the 27th pick and Super Nintendo Chalmers was the first thing that crossed my mind.

Shooting Guards

1. Eric Gordon
   If he were two inches taller, he'd be the best player in the draft. I just like how this dude plays. He crashed at the end of the year, worn out from carrying the team and Kelvin Sampson's cheating ass ways on his shoulders, but that don't mean anything. It doesn't make his jumper any worst and his upper body isn't any weaker. He’s gonna bull his way to that cup and hit his free throws for the next decade, and make about $150 million doing it.
   
2. Brandon Rush
   Smooth and a half. Moesha Daddy gonna glide his way to a few all-star appearances, with his silky J and texturized new millenium Civil Rights bush. If he goes to a contender Thursday night (SPURS!!!!) He's gonna make his mark next Spring.
   
3. Malik Hairston
   Is it a stretch? Fuck no. I think this dude just needs a kick in the ass. He has a lot of skills and I hate that he wastes them. Maybe getting dominated a few times in summer league will make him understand he has to play hard all the time to be a success at the highest level. He averaged 16ppg in a power conference, playing like shit.
   
4. Chris Douglas-Roberts
   Who knows? This guys baffles me. I see the good stuff that people like about him, but I don't really see the bad, and that bothers me, because obviously he's not that good. I know he choked in the title game and that calls his emotional toughness into question, but that was isolated, so you really can't make a big thing out of it. I get the feeling a lot of teams are gonna be mad they passed on him.
   
5. JR Giddens
   He shoulda stayed. He could've used the competition offered in practice and, more importantly, in the conference. But, he fucked that up. Hopefully, all that potential he showed his first couple of seasons will reemerge in the league. He's more athletic than anyone in this group. If he can keep his head straight, he can stick.

Small Forwards

1. Donte Greene
   There is no way I'm putting a workout wonder (Alexander) and a damn Euro (that damn Euro) in front of a 6-9 jumping jack from Baltimore who has a better jump shot than both of them. That's just fucking dumb. I think he's gonna be a top three player from this class.
   
2. Nicolas Batum
   He's legit. I wish Austin Daye had left this year, so ESPN analysts could confuse the two all night. I like his smarts and his athleticism. He's gotten a lot stronger over the past year, which was very much needed, because he was frail as hell. I don't know how good his offense will be, but I picture him as a lockdown one-on-one defender, who can put up AK-47 type block numbers.
   
3. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute
   A bamma. He’s gonna make people so sick with his hustle. I can seriously picture him getting caught on a switch against somebody like Marbury and locking him up so bad that Steph throws the ball at him. He can't shoot for shit, but no one cares because he never turns it off. Plus, he can get to the bucket off the bounce, so it's not like he's helpless on the offensive end.
   
4. Pat Ewing Jr.
   NOPE!!!! I'm calling it. He gonna be good. GOOD!
   
5. Joe Alexander
   Great rebounder. Tough. Nice jumper. Good post moves. Solid ball handler. But, ultimately, he's a white guy. Not buying it.

Power Forwards

1. Michael Beasley
   I know what you're thinking. Why is Da Urrea putting so much talent in the league lately? Well, I'll tell you. It's the Go-Go, bitches. *Roto-Tom solo* Beasley and Durant were raised on Sardines and Pork & Beans and they bout to drop the bomb on the league. Y'all mad, cause we back. I hope Illinois, Florida and New York enjoyed their run. 
   
2. Kevin Love
   I actually like this guy. He's a grown ass man on the court. He's getting that dub-dub from day one. He might steal the ROY. If he can extend his range out to the three in the next couple of years, he's gonna make niggas so mad. He's got a bit a white guy mean-streak, if you haven't noticed. He *likes* beating black dudes, because he knows they think they're better. I like that. Bird had that. Some may think Stockton had it, but it was his lack of it that doomed him. You can't be white and good in the NBA without making it a racial thing. You just can't. You think Richard Parsons got to where he is not wanting to show he’s better than them white guys? That's what I thought. It's just human nature. Kick they ass, Kev Dogg. Not for nothing, but it does help that Kev Dogg looks like the leader of an Aryan prison gang.
   
3. Darrell Arthur
   So what he measured small. So fucking what. I know what I saw. He's good. He's gonna get you boards and block shots and hit 15 footers. He is legit. Once he gets stronger, he'll be one of the best young players at the position. 
   
4. JJ Hickson
   This country ass bamma. I just ride for him. He's so damn dumb and explosive, I just know once he figures out ONE thing that works for him, he's gonna be an all-star. He's a monster on those blocks and he's not a pussy. That combination usually leads to good things. 
   
5. Anthony Randolph 
   No. I do not like him.  He's just one of those guys that's gonna call it a day when he sees that first check. Then, he’s gonna work hard in his contract year and do it all over again. And that'll be his career.

Centers

1. Brook Lopez
   I likes. Plays hard. Smart. Nice touch. Great rebounder and shot-blocker. I have no idea how good he will be, but I know he won't be a bust. 
   
2. Robin Lopez 
   Ditto minus a couple of boards, blocks and points. 
   
3. Roy Hibbert 
   Maybe he screwed up coming back. Maybe he didn't improve one bit. But, he didn't regress and that's all that matters. I hope he doesn't go to a team out west, because his skills will be wasted and my feet will hurt watching him try to run for 30 minutes a night. His height and strength will make him a legit double-double thread on the right squad.
   
4. Kosta Kofus
   He's clumsy, but I kinda like him. He seems dedicated enough to make himself into a pretty good player. He's methodical and that usually helps centers. Once he gets a bit more polish, I can see him being an all-star level player. 
   
5. DeAndre Jordan
   I like his game, don't like his heart. Maybe he'll prove me wrong.
