Matt Garth - 2010 Point Guard prospect

February 18th, 2009

Matt Garth - is a 6'1 175 lbs. PG that could be making a jump from a Juco Pg to the NBA draft in 2010. Not to many can say they have done that. Not to many players are like Garth. In Matt's junior year in high school he started getting noticed. He played at Mount Zion with Brandon Rush and Shawn Taggert putting up only 9 points, but dishing out 7 assists and known as one of the top PG's in his class.

Patrick Patterson - "The next Horace Grant"

January 26th, 2009

Patrick Patterson of Kentucky is real high on my list of NBA prospects compared to most experts. The reason is because I see the next Horace Grant. The 6'9 235 lbs. PF has a 7'2 wing span and has a nice touch around the rim (Or just dunks the ball when he's close to the hoop), He is shooting 72.2 % from the field this season. Patrick is scoring 19.3 PPG, 9.4 RPG, 2.1 BPG, and 2.6 APG and this isn't to far off from his freshmen season as his numbers were close 16.4 ppg and 7.7 RPG while shooting 58%.

Jeff Teague - The Hottest stock in basketball

January 22nd, 2009

Jeff Teague of Wake Forest has the hottest stock going for next years draft. Three weeks ago Teague was getting mentioned as a top 10 point guard and perhaps by some as a top 30 2009 NBA Draft prospect. After his 34 point, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists game against North Carolina, he is now being considered as a top 10 pick and even a top 5 pick by some. The 6'2 180 lbs. Point Guard has been doing his thing now for the past 2 season for Wake Forest. This season however, his numbers have even gone up to an amazing 21.5 ppg, 3.9 apg, and 4.1 rpg while shooting 53% from 3 point land.
