6'11 freshman from LSU. 18 yeards old. Chad Ford has us taking him with the 10th pick as of now. He compares him to Chris Bosh, DX compares him to rudy gay. Worst case brandan right or tim thomas.
Strengths: • Size • Wingspan • Quickness • Explosiveness • Fluidity • Left-handed • 4/3 mismatch threat (in style right now) • Ability to run the floor • Ball-handling skills • Ability to create shots w/either hand • Mid-range jumper • Shot-blocking • Defensive potential/Quick enough to hedge screens on p’n’r • Only 18 years old • Huge upside Weaknesse • Lacks strength • Skinny frame • Lives off instincts/Lacks fundamentals • Forces issue/ Doesn’t know limitations • Turnover prone • Cannot hold spot on the block • Fades away/Struggles finishing through contact • Poor 3-point shooter • Shot selection • All-around defense • Can he guard NBA PFs? • Pushed around in post • Inconsistent motor • Lacks awareness • Always on losing teams • Intangibles? Ive looked for vids but i havent found any. If you got any post him please... Anyway thoughts on this kid? -------------------- C'est la vie

He reminds me more of Prince with the long wingspan. Wouldn't be a bad pick-up if they see something in him during workouts.

He could move up. People are comparing him to Bosh. Of course, taking an athletic big man from LSU bears some risk. Ask the GM's who took Stromile Swift and Tyrus Thomas.

I don't like him. Very weak, takes to many stupid shots. Everyone talks about his mid-range game but it really isn't all that great, he's streaky.

There is a video of him here: http://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/vie...mp;pr_key=42273
I think he might turn out to be the next Prince, but with better shot and worse defense. -------------------- |

he'll be a bust at 10, but he'll probably go higher than that. SMH.

QUOTE 6′11″ LSU Freshman Forward is Consensus Pick in Latest Mocks LSU’s Anthony Randolph has emerged as the top choice for the Nets should they retain the #10 pick in June’s draft … at least in mock drafts. Of 22 mock drafts updated in the last 10 days, Randolph is the Nets’ choice in seven of them, followed by DeAndre Jordan of Texas A&M with four and three other big men with three, Marreese Speights of Florida, Roy Hibbert of Georgetown and Robin Lopez of Stanford.  NetsDaily Mock Roundup #1 - Net Income - NetsDaily BlogCoooool. I know nothing about Randolph, barely anything about Jordan, and nothing about Speights. But no thanks to Robin, and I could see Hibbert dropping...so no thanks there, either. -------------------- Every time you touch yourself, Sean Williams dunks on someone. And Johnny Flynn yacks someone.

Hibbert stayed in school. Who would you rather take? Deandre Jordan or Anthony Randolph?

Robin and Boone seem redundant to me.
