The NBA draft was very deep in terms of talent, but outside
of the lottery picks all I see is solid contributors.
With that said, here is my All-2010 NBA Draft Team
PG - John Wall 6'4'' Washington Wizards
Who else did you think
you were getting here? John Wall has the most upside of any player in this
draft and will be a great pro.
He is very long and has
the ability to use that length on defense. Wall comes in as the face of the
franchise and will take on the challenge of being the leader of an NBA team.
Down the road, John Wall
will prove to be the best player in this year’s draft.
SG - Evan Turner 6'7''
Philadelphia 76ers
Turner was the best
player in this draft. He is 6'7'' and because of his skill-set, he can
play three positions on the court.
He has elite
ball-handling skills and drives into the paint at will. Not to mention, his
ability to finish around the basket or pull up for the mid-range jumper.
Turner is just an
all-around talent that you want to have. He attacks the glass on both ends of
the floor. He is a solid defender, and he makes his teammates better.
If this isn't the guy
you want on your team, I don't think you're a real basketball fan.
SF - Wesley Johnson
6'8'' Minnesota Timberwolves
I don't know how he is
going to be set up with the T'Wolves, considering they acquired more two more
small forwards in the draft. Despite that, Johnson is a great player.
Johnson is 6'8'' but has
the ability to guard out of position because of his lateral quickness and
length.
With that comes a very
offensive player as well. Under Boehim's system we weren't able to
see a full arsenal of Johnson's moves but once he gets to showcase his skills
we'll all know just how good he is.
Dick Vitale has pegged
him as the Rookie of the Year--although, I don't think he will be that good.
PF - DeMarcus Cousins
6'11'' Sacramento Kings
Cousins' is the total
package. Because of his so called "attitude-problems" teams passed on
him and the Kings cashed in.
Cousins at 6'11'' is
an extraordinary athlete. He can play at different speeds, beat
defenders off the dribble, shoot the three; it's just a lot of things he does
that you don't expect from a player 6-foot-11.
To add to that, he is a
monster in the paint and likes to use his strength to overpower players. Not to
mention, he does have the ability to play defense and if he
is committed he will be a monster.
You think John Wall is
good, wait to you see Cousins at his full potential.
C - Cole Aldrich 6'10''
Oklahoma City Thunder
Aldrich is the most
complete center that was drafted.
He brings defensive intensity
to the post that lacks it. He brings amazing size, and the ability to alter and
block shots. Not to mention, he will be a nice addition to the pick-and-roll
game.
He is very long and can
score outside the paint if needed. At Kansas, you didn't witness much of this
because he wasn't as aggressive as he should have been.
But once he gets to the
pros you'll witness his jump shot--it's ugly, but goes in--and his ability to
score with an array of post moves in the paint.
