Top 60 Players Of The 2010 NBA Draft

[Scat]

This is an interesting article that groups the players into various tiers based on what kind of an impact they'll have on the teams that draft them.

Tier 1 (only one player made this tier)
-An absolute All-Star with Hall of Fame potential

John Wall

Tier 2
-Ten-year starters with occasional All-Star potential

Cousins
Favors
Turner

Tier 3
- Probable starters, but likely the fourth or fifth best player on their team

Johnson
Aminu
Davis
Babbit
Patterson

Tier 4
- Borderline starters, but almost certainly rotation contributors

Monroe
George
Aldrich
Henry
Orton
Jones
Udoh
White
James

Tier 5
- The booms and the busts; enough ability to be 10-year starters but just as likely glued to the bench

Hayward
Bradley
Bledsoe
Whiteside
Warren

Tier 6
- One or two may sneak in as starters, but most will be reliable members of the rotation

Anderson
Ebanks
Lawal...

There is commentary on each player arguing the writers case. You can argue about whether the list is accurate but regarding the description of each tier there is no reason the Jazz should end up with anybody that would qualify for Tier 4 or worse.

Tier 3 on the Jazz:
Probable starter. Will be the 2nd best player on the team.

One of these guys sounds perfect for our #55 pick. Then we bring in Elijah Millsap as an undrafted FA to backup the wings.

47. Brian Zoubek, C, Duke
Zoubek sets a very mean screen and utilizes his size to supreme effectiveness. He is active and plays very physically. Zoubek is not without some agility, though he is certainly a lumberer.

49. Ryan Richards, PF, Gran Canaria
Richards is completely unproven, but he has good skill for a player his size.

56. Dexter Pittman, C, Texas
Pittman has excellent low post moves, but his inability to elevate or get length inhibits what he is capable of finishing. He is a good kid and at least will take up space on both ends of the floor.

KOC's remaining tasks:
1. Draft #9, #55 and sign little Paul.
2. Lose Boozer and Korver
3. Re-sign Fes and Matthews.
4. Take July 15 - Sept 30th off.
