2010 Season Top Five NBA Rookies Predictions

     Coming in at number five i would have to believe James Harden who was drafted 3rd overall by the Oklahoma city Thunder. He is one of the best all around players in the draft. He is 6 foot 5, 220 pound guard who can play defence, run the floor and can shoot the ball at an above average rate. He is a good player but i don’t think he will be great because he wont be able to take over a game and score at will. In my opinion, James Harder will be the number 5 rookie this season.

      Next, at number four i think you would need to have Tyreke Evans. The 6 foot 6, 220 pound point guard will be a force to stop at the point. With his height, speed, and with a 7 foot 2 wing span he will be stealing the ball with easy from the NBA’s finest point guards. He can shoot the ball, get past his defender and drive the lane, and he can rebound the ball very well. He has some flaws, he is a very spotty three point shooter, as shooting at the colleague 3 point line he only averaged 0.274 pct. He is also a very inconsistent shooter which the Sacramento Kings will need if they ever want to become a successful team again.

      At third, it was a tough choice, but i decided on picking Stephen Curry. This 6 foot 3, 185 pound point guard can shoot the ball in the hoop like shooting fish in an barrel. He do not miss! Last year averaging 28.6 points in collage basketball its hard not to put this kid on this list. He has the speed to get past the toughest defenders, or he can just pull up and drain a jump shot. He will become something year to come but for now i put his third because you can never tell how shooters out of collage will turn out, like J.J Reddick. Who was one of the best collage basketball players of all time, but when drafted to the NBA he was not able to keep his shot going in. Keep a look out for Curry in the near future as i think he will provide big things for the Golden state Warriors.

       Then, at second I think it would have to be Johnny Flynn. The 6 foot, 185 point point guard was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves. He will be a huge asset to this team. They now have a solid starting lineup as they now have Al Jefferson, Kevin Love, and Johnny Flynn as their big 3. Johnny is the best point guard to come out of this years draft. He is able to shoot the ball and drive the ball to the net very well. He can score which he dishes out the ball averaging 17.5 ppg which averaging around 7 assists per game. He will become a huge player in the NBA for years to come. His main flaw is his size, if he tries to take the ball to the net too often he will end up with many turnover because he will get blocked by the big name blockers. Other then that he is a great player and that is why i think he is the number 2 player in this years draft.

       Finally we have the number 1 player in this years draft. He will be the rookie of the year and he will take the Clippers to the NBA playoffs this season. This guy is none other, than Blake Griffin. The monster dominates the post with the best of them, he can rebound, defend, score with a amazing percent from the field, shooting a staggering 0.659 % from the floor which scoring over 22 points last season. If you look at him you would say he was built for basketball, he is 6 foot 10, 251 point forward who can push around the like of Dwight Howard. For a forward he has terrific ball handling skills like a point guard would need.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI_Mp2ez1xQ&feature=fvw). His only flaw i can think of would be his shooting range, if he can start draining those 15-20 foot jump shots regularly then he would be unstopable and would dominate his forward position. Overall, Blake Griffin is the most outstanding rookie out of this draft and will produce man amazing things for his LA Clippers team for many upcoming seasons.
