Every draft their is some second round steal, a Redd, Boozer, Arenas, Ellis, Milsap, and there are 10 to 15 teams' fans complaining that their GM was too stupid to grab the guy instead of some stiff they did pick. A lot of times that player begins to emerge in summer league. Who is that steal? Call it now.

I really think Taurean Green is going to be one of those guys. Maybe not on the level of a Boozer or Manu, but maybe a Monta Ellis/Paul Millsap guy.
First, he's going to be learning with a bunch of young guards or a young team that can grow together and most of the weaknesses I've read about him are things that can be corrected with proper instruction.
I was really hoping the Spurs were going to find a reason to draft him.
carl landry
glen davis
marcus williams
jared jordan
herbert hill
McRoberts will be a bust.
Giorgos Printezis - Book it
Seriously, I think Derrick Byars will emerge as this years "steal" (just like Gilbert Arenas). He will have the opportunity to score in Philly and with that he'll get alot of attention. His defensive skills are seriously lacking, but his scoring will get him noticed (just like Arenas)
Giorgios Printezis
One to a customer.
With that I'm going with Rayshawn Terry and Jared Jordan but if I have to choose Jordan.
Edit to go with Terry since if Clips sign Francis I don't think Jordan can get the playing time.

glen davis is going to be the next eddy curry/
in 2-3 years .
Is that supposed to be a good thing? Curry is the classic underachiever (with a medical condition).
Derrick Byars
I'm calling Jared Jordan. I wished like that the spurs would grab him at 58...he was already gone, and i doubt they would have grabbed him.
Curry plays with his back to the basket, Davis likes to face up and drive and shoot jump shots so bad comparison. Davis will end up like oliver miller, fat and out of shape.
I'm going with the Homer pick. Marcus.
Davis is way more athletic than Curry or Miller. He likes to shoot and also take his man off the dribble too much to get sedentary.
Of course, I'm also making a huge assumption that Doc Rivers actually uses him correctly.
Did you watch any of Vandy's games last year? He was consistantly called upon to cover the opposing teams best scorer. He is a good offensive player but it will be his defense that gets him more acclaim. He is smart, a good leader, and can both shoot the 3 and take it to the rack. I was pissed when we didn't take him.
He is also my pick as the guy everyone will be kicking themsleves over not taking.
Typically those players are all pretty good college players who have questions as to their height/athleticism/etc. I could be a homer and say Alando Tucker, but I'll go with Fazekas for now.
I admit that only saw him play only a couple of times. I don't have a great handle on his defense except what I saw in those 2 games. It might've been just off games that I saw from the defensive perspective. What I did see was an explosive scorer (with an unconventional shooting style ala Stephen Jackson) with a quick first step that can get by a lot of people. With that said, I still pick him as my steal of the second round.
Byars.... lmao @ yall still bein stuck on him..... but yea man, it's his defense that got him drafted, not his O
Marcus is the steal.... I like the potential for Terry and Green too
I think it might be Tucker. My brain's telling me that he won't be able to take his game to the NBA, but the kid's tough and a winner and if he can adjust his game to the NBA and grow then he has a chance to have a much better career than many of the 1st rounders.
Dominic McGuire. Book it.
D.J. Strawberry (in the Suns' system)
G. Davis. I was really hoping the Spurs would nab him. He's an aweful lot of talent.
Gabe Pruitt
Derrick Byars gona be good as well
It's difficult to say who is, but easy enough to say who ISN'T.
Big Baby will be a foul a minute guy who won't be able to bull his way thru NBA officiating. He's a big boy who plays like a WAY TOO BIG boy...slow feet and no real polished game.
Jamario Davidson in the warriors offense should be fun to watch!!
