There is no way that Daequan is not a top 10 player in the country.
If I was ranking the top ten it would look like this:
1. Oden - obvious
2. Kevin Durant - another obvious one.
3. Thadeous Young - He is a stud. I thought about putting him above Durant. If we would of landed this kid, I don't think we ever would of lost a game.
He tore it up in both all-stars games he was in. He has a Jumper and can take you off the dribble.
4. Spencer Hawes - He is a very solid 7 footer, has a ton of room to grow on the offensive end, and if not for Greg Oden, this kid would be getting a lot more pub.
5. Brandon Wright - long tall lefty, with great bball body, has the potential to be great, but this ranking is based on potential, b/c he still has refining to do on his game.
6. Paul Harris - It was a shame that he wasnt in the McD's game. I watch him in the Jordan roundball game and he was awesome. Think Ron Artest on the defensive end and he has nice offensive skills.
7. Cook - He has showed in two all-stars games that he has the ability to score. He hasnt played at a high level during his high school games, but he hasnt really needed to. He has that lightswitch mentality, and I think it will stay on once he gets to college.
8. Chase Budinger - he realy impressed me in the McD's game and he is a very athletic 6'7''. Great volleyball player too.
9. Brook Lopez - one of the Lopez twins. They are both good, but Brook is the better of the two.
10. Tyson Lawson( I was have to tempted to leave him out, he is fast as lighting, but seems to shoot and force things too much and be out of control.) I think Conley is the much better fit for a high powered team like us or NC.
