First Look at the 2010 NBA Draft

It looks to my eyes like next season's crop of NBA Rookies will be historically bad.

Other than future All Stars John Wall and Derrick Favors there may not be another bigtime player available. According to DraftExpress.com Evan Turner of Ohio State is the third best available talent. I think Turner is a fine player with size, athletic ability, and skill but I don't think he reminds anyone, at this stage, of Brandon Roy. And power forward Ed Davis, their fourth ranked player, is too timid around the hoop for my taste. He may one day be a starter at the next level, but certainly not worthy of a early lottery selection. And the list of guys expected to go early in the draft continues from there, with players I see at possible busts like Cole Aldrich (a ballstopper), Wesley Johnson (too thin and no dribble moves), Willie Warren (having an up and down year when he is The Man for OU), Stanley Robinson (can't dribble) and Xavier Henry (standstill shooter without great quickness).

This year, with Tyreke Evans and Brandon Jennings leading the way, there are plenty of first year contributors in The League. Next year, not so much. At least in my view.
