Knicks, Nets Fans Should Turn Attention Toward Draft

Beasley is a great talent, it remains to be seen how well he will do night in and night out against guys just as talented in the league, as far as his potential it will come down to his attitude and mental approach to the game

Rose i feel will struggle the most, he will be a liability in a half court setting, just depends on what system he gets into. It will be 2-3 years before he developes a respectable jumper where defenses can play him honest, think Tony Parker when he first came into the league but more athletic.

Gordon, great scorer knack for drawing fouls, he actually reminds me of a adrian dantley, or mitch richmond, his foot spead is questionable to me, and his ability to get off a shot will be exposed as well, Doesnt go to his left as strong as he should. He will be listed at 6-2 at draft time, which means he will have to really develop his ball handling skills.

Mayo, Tremendous talent. Great size, a legit 6-4, 6-5. High Basketball IQ, Turnovers is not a pre-cursor to him being a great passer. Great Outside shot and release, Physically stronger than most shooting guards. Great attitude(despite what media outlets say) He is not as humble as a Gordon or Rose, but has the same confidence and swagger of a kobe bryant, plays with extreme confidence and poise. Killer instinct. In his match ups against Rose, outscored him 16-9, with 3 assist and two turnovers to Rose's 5assist and 5 turnovers. Against Bayless, in two outings outscored him 43-18, with 11 assists to Bayless 5, and 3 turnovers to Bayless 9..which means he shows up for big games. He can get into a shooters mentality at times, but that represents his aggressive attack and should not be viewed as me-first, unless you know this player personally.

thanks
