Highly skilled big man from Wizards reminiscient of KG and Odom. If he entered in this draft after college where would he go in this draft??

Top 5 pick. He would be a matchup nightmare in college and a great defender.

He would have never spent 4 years in college. Assuming he did, he'd be a top 5 pick.

Amir Johnson?

If he was a 4yr college guy, wouldn't you think he would be competing with Beasley/Rose for #1?

Unless he ended up just being a disappointment in college, getting a mid-first shot on potential, or floated to the second round. Who knows.

He would be the number 1 overall pick, at worst number 3

You think Blatche's going to have a better career than Beasley?

^Probably not, but he's capable of playing three positions and a little defense, whereas Beasley is strictly a F and hasn't shown much aside from offense.

He probably would've been shot in the arm in college. The kid likes/liked to party. Go to the wrong school and that could be a bad combo. Not sure if he turned himself around, but he's only 22. But judging on how he came into the league and add the fact he grew two inches with Washington and I'd say Top 5 pick. And Blatche could never play the 3. Maybe as a rookie, but not now. His handle coming into the L was sick, but now it sucks since the Washington coaches have focused on turning him into a better low-post threat.

Thats the scary part.
Kinda makes you 2nd guess Beasley a little doesn't it?

Its hard to say. He defitely has skills that are rare for his size, but I don't know how much he would be trusted by GM's given the stories that have already come out about him and the way he floats in and out of games.
