The 2008 NBA Draft Lottery was held Tuesday night, May 20th.  The Bulls were the big winner, moving up to the 1st despite owning less than 2% of the ping pong balls.

This is the third of five Siegel's Take articles analyzing the 2008 NBA Draft prospects. Today's focus is the always deep group of small forwards.

As I say every year, its important to note that I'm not as kind as most Draft analysts out there. The reality of the NBA Draft is that only a few guys will be stars, a handful more will be starters, a dozen guys will be career reserves, and the rest will all fizzle into nothingness within a couple of seasons.

On with the fun. Players are ranked by their NBA potential:

Yes (Keep it as is)

No (The worst teams should be Guaranteed the best picks)

No (There's still too much incentive for teams to lose)

No (It's rigged)

JJ Hickson

 

Richard Hendrix

 

Marreese Speights

 

A (He's my go to source on the NBA Draft)

B (Not bad, plus he does get inside information)

C (He just repeats the same stuff as everyone else)

D (With access to so much info, how does he know so little?)

F (He makes Digger Phelps look like a genius)

This is the second of five Siegel's Take articles analyzing the 2008 NBA Draft prospects. Today's focus is the somewhat weak crop of shooting guards.
