Thaddeus is a freak athlete with loads of potential. He could (and I think he will) end up being the second best scorer out of this draft behind Durant 4-6 years down the road, IMO. Still only 19 years old, too. I think he could play PF at times, but not a whole lot, if at all. He measured in at 6'7 1/2 at the combine, with shoes, so he's barely taller than RJ. He only weighs 210. So basically, if we do draft him, RJ would probably end up playing some PF if we went with a smaller lineup of Kidd/Carter/Young/RJ/Krstic or something. He's far better suited to be a SF, IMO, just because he's so athletic and quick. Much better suited to be a wing player, and I think he plays that way too. He'll end up being more of a 2/3 throughout his career. Defensively, I don't know much about him, and I never really paid much attention to his defense when I saw GT games, but I know he's quite long, and with his speed, he could probably defend quite well on the perimeter. In the post though, I can't imagine he'd do too well defensively at all, considering his weight. Smart kid, too. Has a good head on his shoulders.</p>

That's my take on Thaddeus.</p>

He's my number one draft choice right now, because of his potential and age. </p>
