James Harden – 2009 NBA Draft

# Birthday: 8/26/89
# NBA Position: Shooting Guard
# Class: Sophomore
# Ht: 6-5
# Wt: 222
# Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
# High School: Artesia
NBA Comparison: Manu Ginobili/Brandon Roy
Strengths: Very smooth and crafty wing player Used his sophomore season to add new dimensions to his game, and he proved to be a steady and consistent scoring threat One of the most mature and NBA ready players of his class He has great feel and understanding of the game, knows when he has to be a facilitator and when he has to take over the scoring load As much as he brings in terms of scoring, his vision and playmaking ability may be his most impressive attributes He makes great reads and is extremely unselfish Has a developed body that is prepared to handle the rigors he will face in the league In ISO situations he has a variety of deceptive and shifty moves that allow him to get by defenders Out of the triple threat he is difficult to defend because his jab step is long and he sells his shot fake extremely well Off the bounce he incorporates a nice crossover as well as in&out and behind the back dribbles to get into the lane His jumper has shown great improvements, he has added range as well as consistency from the outside His strength is a great asset because he is not afraid to use his body, either on drives or when playing with his back to the basket Has good balance and body control when finishing around the basket He has become a difficult matchup, because he looks to take advantage of mismatches, and enjoys playing with his back to the basket Has a great feel for the ball, on the glass and in the passing lanes
Weaknesses: Ended the season with two very poor performances in the NCAA Tournament, which has unfairly taken some luster off of a great season (he faced zone defenses on both occasions and it forced him to play out of his comfort zone) Does not posses the great size that many have at his position His leaping ability and quickness are only marginal, which forces him into tough and contested drives and makes it hard for him to get by people Even though he has worked on his drives going right, he is still not nearly as comfortable and effective as he needs to be Defenders have a much easier time cutting of his driving lanes when he does go right His midrange game will need to become more polished, his ability to make shots off the dribble before the helpside D rotates will be key He has become turnover prone at 3.4 per game, but this is mostly a result of being asked to do too much

NBA Draft ‘06 — Jazz Pick Ronnie Brewer / Dee Brown
This was created by another Jazz fan who posted this in a message board, contact me, and I will give you credit. It is especially good because of the passive aggressive fight between Dan Patrick and the Commish David Stern

57. Phoenix Suns – Emir Preldzic 6-8 220 SG/SF Slovenia Intl.

# Birthday: 6/9/87

# Class: International
# Ht: 6-8
# Wt: 220
# Team: Fenerbahce Ulker
# Hometown: Ljubljana, Slovenia
Stevan Petrovic – 1/25/2008
Strengths: Preldzic possesses good shooting touch and a nice feel for the game … Very long and fundamentally skilled young player … He can hit 3 point shots as well as mid-range jumpers with accuracy (good spot-up shooter) … His shooting touch and mechanics are fluid. Emir can handle the ball in the open court and be a point forward when needed or push the ball in the fast-break; He can also drive the ball well and has sufficient ball handling skills … He reads the defense and defenders well and recognizes when to drive to the basket and when to pull up for the jump-shot … He shows good body control while driving to the basket … Showing some slashing ability. A team player who sees the court well and knows how to make the right pass … His length and quick reflexes helps him to be active on the boards (anticipates where the ball is going to land well). Moves well laterally and has quick feet.
Weaknesses: A tweener. His lack of a true position hurts his chances … Very skinny player for his size … Lack of both upper and lower body strength really hurts him offensively and defensively too … Mediocre athletic ability at his best … Doesnt like contact or to bang under the basket for position, which also hurts his ability to post up. His frame is average and may be a guy that loses mobility with added weight … Has to become a more consistent shooter Offensively he must work on his inside game and find his go-to move.
Notes: Born in Bosnia but grew up in Slovenia and a Slovenian citizen. Had his coming out party at the 2006 U20 Euro Championships leading Slovenia to 3rd place (Bronze) finish averaging 20.3 ppg (2nd overall).
