2008 NBA Draft Profiles - PG
Five Stars 
OJ Mayo - PG - USC: Solid defender. Can hit tricky shots with defense on him. Productive scorer – averaging over 20 ppg as a freshman in the Pac-10 is very good. Vast body control. Good ball handler and a great passer. Able to play either guard positions. Muscular physique. Good range on jumper. Firm free throw shooter.
Derrick Rose - PG - Memphis: Can thrash any defender off the dribble and knife into the heart of the defense to generate for teammates or score on his own. Off-the-charts competitor – NBA energy. Is lightning speedy on the court. Volatile leaper who can attack the rim. Incredible one-on-one moves – killer crossover, shake-and-bake moves. Vast ball handler.
Four Stars
Jerryd Bayless - PG - Arizona: His offensive skills are NBA set, but in order to actually shine, he will have to develop into a more of a point guard or risk slasher. Draft stock has detonated as the term has gone on and he continues to heap the points on the board.
Three Stars
DJ Augustin - PG - Texas: Lightning speedy. Can get into the lane with no difficulty. Good leaper. There is no disbelief he has the velocity, skill-set and intellect to play at the next level, but to become a star he will have to be find a way to slay the NBA’s giants.
Russell Westbrook - PG - UCLA: His skill to play both guard positions makes him even more precious, though, due to his dimension he will have to become more of a clean point guard. Multitalented – able to play both point and shooting guard positions. Wonderful athlete. Can jump out of the gym. Great defender – had 63 steals his sophomore year.
Two Stars
Mario Chalmers - PG - Kansas: Takes really good care of the ball. Super Mario, as he’s now identified, looks prepared to leave college on a high note. Outstanding defender. Averaged at least 2.5 steals per game all three years in college. However, bearing in mind he is only expected as an average first round pick this year, he is better matched to return to Kansas and work on his point guard skills.
Goran Dragic - PG/SG - Union Olimpija: Dragic could be a high-quality second round pick for a team eager to keep him in Europe for another year to get stronger and work on his point guard skills. Good mass for a point guard. Remarkably precise shooter – over 60% from the field.
One Star
Kyle Weaver - G - Washington State: While he doesn’t scheme to be a NBA star, Weaver could turn out to be a very firm pro at both ends of the floor. Adaptable – can play moreover backcourt positions. Good defender. Rapid. Very superior beating man off the dribble – nice crossover.
Jamont Gordon - PG - Mississippi State: He should head back to Mississippi State for his senior year and try to get better his stock. Tremendously multipurpose – can play point guard, shooting guard or small forward. Very fit. Nice lefty shooting stroke. Very physically powerful build. Makes no logic for Gordon to stay in this year’s draft if he is not going to be a first round pick.
Sean Singletary - PG - Virginia:In spite of having an incredible junior season, Singletary could use another year in college to effort on his game.
Unbelievable rebounder for his height. Deep range on his jump shot. Great free throw shooter.
