...Many players share a dream, of getting in the NBA
...Only a few get chosen. Here are the stories of some.
This year, there are many players with great talent. We will be focusing only on a few. They are as follows:
Scouting Report [From College]
Next up: Scouting Report Pre-Draft
Back in highschool, he loved dunking, and he loved blocking. He brings big toughness and dunking skill to this draft class. Hoping to get drafted to the Raptors (being the only Canadian team), but would also love just to play.
Aaron Craft, the Point Guard from Ohio State.
This 6'2 point guard loves the game of basketball. Being a point guard, he doesn't really feel the need to dunk much. Instead, he focuses on awareness, defense and stealing. Averaging 5.3 steals in college, look for Craft to jump right up and become that master thief that every team dreams of.
Jermaine Watson, the Power Forward from Baylor.
This Power Forward from Baylor has caught eyes of many scouts. He came into this draft unknowingly identical to Noah Jackson. This will be a rivalry in itself. The 6'11 PF is known majorly for his mid-range shot. Its rare to find a big man who scores with such a high percentage from mid-range, while being able to dunk and play low post D with ease. Don't expect to receive passes from him.
Eury Reyes, the Point Guard from UNC.
This 6'4 point guard is nicknamed "Monster" for his crazy dunks. Look for him to start off as a backup, but jump to starter position quick. Only bad thing about Reyes is his lack of strength.

Marcellus "Special Agent" Langley, the Shooting Guard from UVA.
Upon arrival at the college, I asked around to see Marcellus Langley, but could not find him. After many hours, I found out people refer to him as Special Agent. This 6'7 SG has amazing potential and 3 point shot. When he makes them, he makes them nicely. Only problem with him is that he has horrible consistency. Don't expect him to make tons of shots in a row, but only those that count.
Tshinanu Tshinanu, the Center from Canada.
Tshinanu, or TSH2 as he's refer'd to at his home in Canada, is a big 7'1 center coming with his A-Game. Being one of the biggest players in the draft, TSH2 loves rebounding and showing off the dunks. Don't expect him to dribble, or shoot the 3's though. The Orlando Magic have already been rumored to be having talks about him after losing Dwight Howard last year.
Adam Carter, the Shooting Guard from Vermont
This 6'3 guard is well known for his stealing and 3 point shot. Averaging 79% from behind the arc, many players in this draft feel threatened by him. Only thing is, if you want him to score, you need to literary pass him the pass. He is horrible at bringing up the pass, and dunking. The Celtics have had their eye on this guy.
Adrian Hines, the Small Forward from Texas.
This Texan is known for his skill in mid-range shooting AND rebounding. When it comes to Traffic, this guy gets all the green lights. Apparently he doesn't believe in traffic, and has formed an ability to shoot through it. Only this this 6'8 SG lacks in his 3 point shot, along with stealing.
Brandon Dean, the Point Guard from Canada.
Another Canadian, Brandon Dean is known around the town for his skills in passing and shooting (mainly 3-point and mid-range). This 6'4 guy was on Toronto's radar for a while, but when asked, Toronto said "Well, we would like to comment, but mums the word." When it comes to On Ball, look else where. Dean lacks this big time, and it shows in his game. Expect him to play a lot more in the shooting guard position (his secondary) then pointguard, unless drafted to a needy team.
Jake White, the Point Guard from NIU
Jake White had a dream to play for Huston. In this dream he had, he never made it past 6th man, and eventually got (and was the 1st to do so) traded. Since waking up, he has been practicing 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. By doing so, he has improved his passing, mid and close range shots. When asked about what he will do about the 3's, he simply smiled and said "just you wait and see". He then took a shot as the camera panned out, and missed completely, while still smiling. "I never said it was going to go in. In fact, that is my weakness (3-point and long-range shots).
...to be continued if more people join this class.
