Hawes and Brockman

TheHoo · December 29th, 2006, 01:16 PM

Spencer Hawes is probably a top-5 pick, but what about Brockman?
Lottery?
Regardless, watch out for the Huskies come tourny time, with two big men like them, if they want to they can pound out teams to death. Unfortunately, they don't, and thus don't fully utilize them (check out the LSU game for how to max out their production).

Niether are projected to go that high, if you go off of nbadraft.net, nbadraftexpress.com, hoopshype.com

You watch any Huskies games? The two I've seen have both said Hawes, if he decides to skip to the NBA, is a top-5, top-10 pick. Frankly, if he keeps up anywhere near the numbers he's been putting up, he deserve to be right up there.

Ive watched them, but I doubt as much as you.

I just dont see how he cracks the top 5 of this years draft assuming everyone comes out

Oden, Durant, Brandan Wright, Thabeet, Julian Wright, Horford, Cook ( OSU ), Marcus Williams

I think Hawes would be a top 10 pick if he keeps this pace up. IF he comes out this is going to be a VERY GOOD Big man draft, 1 of the best in many years for PF / C.

A seven footer who handled Big Baby while putting up 17 and 11 every night in the PAC-10 on a top 20 team won't couldn't crack the top 5 in the draft?

No, not if everyone else comes out.

He is a top 10 pick but just look @ the list...All but Horford and maybe Marcus Williams ( even though I think he will go extremely high ) will be picked ahead of Hawes, IMO

Also, I wouldnt quote a game against Big Baby in which Big Baby was in an extreme mismatch considering he is only 6'9 and probably closer to 6'8. Baby is a great college player but probably wont be more than a Mike Sweetney on the NBA level.

I also forgot about Billy Walker, who if he comes out is a lock top 5 pick

I needed a vaction, and then work changed substantially. I'm over 50 hour weeks, plus two hours a day of commuting time. A few weeks ago I launched my own blog about Seattle Sounders FC and Life in Puget Sound. I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
