2008 NBA Draft Profiles - SF

Four Stars

Nicolas Batum - SF - Le Mans: Whoever drafts him will have to be enduring, but as his game and body matures Batum could be an outstanding NBA pro. Enormous wingspan – over 7 feet. Huge height/length for a small forward. Batum’s mixture of span and power has NBA scouts drooling.

Three Stars

Joe Alexander - SF/PF - West Virgini: First-class rebounder for a wing player. Joe Alexander had a flight junior season at West Virginia and is ready to make some big-time NBA presence. Firm worker. His game amplified each year in college.

Two Stars

Donte Greene - SF - Syracuse: There aren’t too many guys with Donte’ Greene’s size, power and shelling range, so NBA teams will be intrigued by him. Big dimension for the little forward position. Vast shooting touch. Can hit shots above defenders.

One Star

Malik Hairston - SF - Oregon: Even though having a real solid collegiate vocation, Hairston never lived up to the huge propaganda adjoining him coming out of high school. Strong natural built. Good quality wingspan. High three-point shooter, shot approximately 43% from deep his junior and senior years. He will have to reverse that and concentrate to be really victorious in the NBA.
