Wow. Everything Brandan Wright wants to be.


That's the first thing I thought, as well.

In this video Randolph seems like Chris Bosh at times.

And don't forget Randolph is only 18 years old. Give him 2 or 3 years and he could be dominate.

That was my first time seeing any footage of Speights and I liked what I saw. Very fiery player. Quick leaper. Agile. They showed him stepping out and hitting a jumper. He looks like he has enough strength and length as well. Extremely productive player at Florida. He learned what it took to win playing behind in that Gator mini dynasty. He'd definitely be in my revised top 20.

Alexander was always a guy who intrigued me, but I had to be reticent because of his height/weight combination. If he's 6'9"/230 at the predraft camp, I'd have to reconsider and put him in my top 15 or so. I love his tenacity, athleticism, and overall skill-set for a potential power forward. It's just a matter of him having the adequate size.

Obviously...:)
I wanted to say that some moves are similar to Bosh's, but it's all in proportion.

You've been on point lately.

Chris Bosh: 56 % fg/48 % 3

Anthony Randolph: 46 %fg/11 % 3

Bosh is obviously a better shooter and an aspect of his game is post play. Not even one of Randolph's highlights exhibited post play. I can see some similarities, i.e.: height, frame, athleticism; but ultimately Randolph is lacking in a couple very key areas. He's a 6'11" small forward.

Nathan Jawai clips - I guy I hope falls to us in the second round or we consider if we get a late first via trade etc.

NBL All Star Game Highlights

Season Highlights

Good post player, plays with a lot of power while having a nice touch. Grabs boards, block shots, plays as a bruiser. Could play 4/5 in the NBA. Would be a great fit as a back-up on the Bucks, if not a starter down the road after he continues to develop.

Chad Ford briefly mentioned him yesterday as well: LINK (Fair way down the page)

That might bring him up to 120 pounds.

I must say, I would not complain whether we drafted one of Gordon, Westbrook, or Randolph.

I'm still for Westbrook but I also really like Joe Alexander. The kid gets off his feet very quick and has really good timing, handles the ball well; appears to be quite fearless going to the tin. I really like this kid........

I don't think he will ever be thick enough to be a very good post defender, but Tay Prince can guard guys down low so you never know. Offensively I really like the fact that he has a mid range game. With how skinny he is I wonder if his rebounding will translate to the NBA.


That's only cuz Tay Prince is straight outta Compton

After watching the video I posted, I am very high on Joe Alexander. The kid has athleticism for days, and is fearless in the paint.
