this looks pretty valid to me, the onlt thing is I think I would add Koponen to the list of good role players for the PGs, he might me pretty solid if plays to his potential. .

I’m gald you don’t have Law at #3, I would go even futher by putting him at #4, and I actually feel is the overrated one. I know many people will disagree with me, but you watch and see, 5 years from now. He is ok, but won’t be as good as he was in college. .

I think if Brandan Wright reaches his potential, he could be a future all- star. But that is a BIG IF, though. .

You put these players in all the right spots pretty much. I can see these scenarios happening. .

I think Rudy Fernandez is the most underrated player in the draft. He will be the next Manu Ginobili!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .

Alando Tucker, Morris Almond, Jason Smith and Taurean Green I agree are all underrated. I also agree that Rodney Stuckey, Daequan Cook, Al Thornton, and Joakim Noah are overrated. .
