Talentwise, Rubio has the potential to be up there, but I would say his defense and handles is up there to Jordans if not better. I don't think Rubio will be the scorer he was though. Rubio can't rebound either. But Rubio is still sick, he's one of the best players to enter a UOSL draft. Him or Riek should go 1. It really depends if you need a guard or a big man, I'd put my money on Rubio though. I mean I wouldn't be surprised if ended up like B B+ B+ A+ |

He looks very ideal aside from the rebounds. I know he won't be MJ, just wanted to see your answer, which was good. I couldn't imagine taking my 4th SG in as many years but how do you pass this up?

Honestly, taking Riek before him wouldn't be totally crazy. I mean Rubio is all around sexy, where Riek struggles on the offensive end, but a B rebounder and a B defender as a rookie is extremely rare in UOSL drafts. And it seems like big men are harder to come by in UOSL, especially in the Atlantic division  |

Ricky Rubio's name will probably be the first name to be called out during the draft. He's got all the right tools. Rubio is a great ball handler who sees the court well and doesn't turn the ball over much. He has good quickness, and can score pretty much from anywhere. He's not a deadly scorer, but he'll put up enough to keep opposing defenses honest. The one thing that is most impressive, is his lock down defense. Rarely do we get a player from overseas who is a polished defender. But Rubio is a one of a kind. The only concern I'd have when picking him is, he's pretty weak for someone of his height and position. And he can't really rebound. Other than that, he is a great player, and should be an allstar countless times in the future.
Dexter Strickland is one of the more UOSL ready players in this draft. He is a little older and more experienced from starting 3 years at Florida. Right now, he is the scariest player to play against because he has no weakness, and he is loaded accross the board. He takes pride in playing good defense, and shutting players down, but he also isn't afraid to show off his offensive game. Strickland is deceptivly quick and has great handles. I could see him playing a little PG in the future. He is a bit undersized for SG, but he plays hard, and he isn't a tweener. If he can add on a few pounds he should be fine. Strickland should be a top 5 pick.
Dion Waiters. Here is a guy who shows that a 6-2 player can play SG. Dion is a tuff, big SG. He likes to pentrate inside to keep defenders on him at all time. If you play deep on him, he'll just step back and hit the jumper. He will create a lot of problems for opposing defenses. However, other offenses will create problems for Waiters. Waiters really needs to improve on his defense if he wants to become something in UOSL. Right now he is still very raw and probably should have gone to school another year. He has also been highly hyped but fails to deliver. Waiters should be drafted in the lottery.
Nate Miles. Miles is probably one of the more overrated players in the draft. Everyone can tell you he'll never be great in UOSL, because his defense is shit. However, I still think he could be a good player, and be a starter one day. He has a fantastic offensive game. He can shoot lights out, but his focus on offense has left his defense behind. I think Miles could put up 25 a game at his peak, and to me, even with shitty defense, I'd take that risk with a mid first.
D.J. Richardson has had a tough career at Indiana. He's been plagued with many injuries and has had a hard time finding his place on the team. So he's decided to skip his senior year to enter the draft. DJ is a very talented player. He has really good handles/passing and plays decent defense. His scoring is probably not mendable at this time, and so that will scare off a lot of GMs. He still can be servicable, but taking DJ will be a risk.
Jason Clark. What sucks for him, is he's a great defender, but because of guys like Rubio and Dexter in his class, he often gets overlooked. Clark won't ever mount up to more than a solid backup or a solid defender. Physically, he looks good, but his game just isn't there. He's been trying hard to get his offense going, but nothing seems to click. He should just focus on his defense so he can at least be put in to shut down guys.

ducky have you ever thought about moving the draft forum to the middle and the transactions stuff to the bottom? it might increase draft interest because a lot of the time i think people just don't scroll down.
also these notes would make great articles, just like how BBS does it i guess but even more in-depth. i don't know if you're trying to stay unique but these are just suggestions.
