[Bill Dozer]

46% from the college 3 and 2 NCAA titles. What next?

[mavs1978]

no

[jjgold]

Hard to say who is going to be good or who is not going to be good other than one or two players each year.

[Junkyard Dog]

He might go in the 2nd round or as a FA, but even if he does stick around a couple yrs wont be more than end of the bench 3 pt specialist. I.e. Reddick..

[Bill Dozer]

Also 6'2". went 1st rd.

[jstblaze]

if he can find a pot like Kerr did, then he is golden, because this kid is even mor emoney than reddick.

th eonly problem is humphries looks absolutely incapable of driving.

Right, that's why he reminds me of a Paxson and not Kerr. Kerr would go in and take the little jumper. Humprey has that low arch Paxson shot and is kind of a stiff.

[Razz]

The difference in Redick and Humphrey is that Humphrey plays above average defense. I'm not sure he will make it in the NBA, though, because he has to play PG at that size in the NBA, and he just doesn't have the ball handling skills. He'll be a non-drafted free agent that probably sticks on his grit and shooting ability.

[pags11]

yeah, he will be around the league for a while...

[rm18]

Kerr and Paxson were both great college point guards, I don't think he can play

[goldengoat]

he will be drafted

guaranteed

[Bill Dozer]

Rashad Anderson and Trajan Langdon, two other shooters that couldn't make it but they got shots. Kerr was a decent PG in college, MVP of his league I believe.

[pags11]

bill,

anderson was (is) a pretty good shooter and langdon was very average...Humphreys is top notch...

[dodif]

uh hmmmm

gerry mcnamara

where's he

[imgv94]

Lakers should get em.

[GoBlue]

I try not to call out names on boards but you are AN IDIOT........ Trajon Langdon was one of the best shooters the collesge game has seen,,,, That comment about him is just plain crazy

[imgv94]

I think pags has been drinking..

[hitbitritz]

Humphrey has NO shot of getting drafted. While he did shoot lights out in college, he is no where to be seen on any nba draft teams radar. The thing to keep in mind here is that he benefited from 3 lottery picks and 1 possible 1st rounder, in Noah, Horford, Brewer and Green. He never had anyone on him. It was like shooting practice.

To his credit, he was fully capable of dropping bombs from the NBA range. Aside from this, he has no offensive game and is a defensive liability.

He'll most likely end up in the NBDL or overseas, with a shot of making a team in a year or so.

I'm sure everyone knows Matt Carroll. I have the pleasure to know him personally, and he was a STAR at ND, and was MUCH better than Humphrey. He f***d around with a bunch of nba teams and was in the NBDL until finding a home in Charlotte...

You won't be seeing Humphrey drop bombs anytime soon.

ALSO - I think Noah will be a bust.

[imgv94]

I think Noah will be a bust as well.

[goldengoat]

depends where noah gets drafted as to whether he is a bust or not

he is not a top 10 player IMO

[slacker00]

They'll all be busts except Brewer. A 6'9" PG with the reach of a 7'+, all he needs is to continue his physical development & keep his mind together. Depending on how bad he wants it, I could see him being the next great one.

[imgv94]

collegebaskets has convinced me..

PG? No way, he can't pass, has a terrible assist to turnover ratio, and his nickname is "The Drunken Dribbler". NBA guards would steal the ball from him way too often. He has to play the 3, maaaaybe the 2 - but shooting guards are supposed to be above average shooters, which he is not - if the situation is right.

[pags11]

goblue,

first of all my handle is pags11...who's the idiot again?...let me guess you are still bitter about Duke having a shitty-ass season capped off by them losing to VCU even though they had the refs yet again?...funny, I don't see Langdon's name in any record books for 3 point percentage...he was a better baseball player anyway...

[slacker00]

Razz, I didn't mean PG, I know I typed it. I meant shooting guard. I think I've got Magic Johnson on the mind or something, the 6'9" PG that just couldn't be stopped on his way to 5 titles.

I know Brewer is very raw, but I see some unique potential in that guy that doesn't come around very often.

I just want to repeat that Noah, Horford, Humphrey, etc. don't have any type of unique potential that guarantees them a roster spot in the NBA. They'll all maybe get a good look because of their college credentials, but I just can't see them cracking a starting lineup without a lot of hard work and luck. Maybe if Humphrey gets into a situation like Paxon had, he could have a few good years, but that's a big "if". Noah has bust written all over his face, he should've stayed in college and at least had some more success before reality comes crashing down on the poor kid. Of any of this group, I kinda like Richard as being a role-player in the NBA, he is able to accept a lesser role, and the guy is beefy, but he's a longshot as well. Green is an absolute "NO". I can't see Green making it past an NBA training camp. Maybe he can make it in the CBA.

i agree with slacker to some extent. just watching that championship game, it looked like brewer was singlehandledly carrying florida while the rest of his team woke up. he reminds me of josh howard with a better looking jumpshot, just not as polished in other facets of the game as howard was at wake. i could see brewer going later in the first round to a good team like howard went to dallas.

[hitbitritz]

brewer is projected as a top 10 pick in every mock draft ive seen. ive seen him as high as #4

[hitbitritz]

slacker - i think you are underestimating florida's players.

noah - i agree, he won't be that good. probably a decent defensive role player, unless he works on his footwork and develops a game.

green - he'll be on a roster for sure.

horford - this guy is great. didn't you watch him??? he's a physical beast.

brewer - i don't consider him raw. he was the best perimiter defender in college last year, and has a sick jump shot and great dribbling and passing skills.

[sungus77]

wow. i guess i severely underestimated how other teams were thinking of him. i hadnt looked at any of those mock drafts. i had just heard he wasn't as higly regarded as those two florida big men. sounds like the secrets out on brewer, if there ever was one.
