NBA draft preview

Don’t rule out Brandon Knight being the number one overall pick in the draft. While most experts pick Kyrie Irving or Derrick Williams to be selected first, some say Cleveland would benefit most by the services of Knight.

Enes Kanter has been somewhat of a disappointment to alot of GM’s due to his lack of effort on defense and at times on offense. His on ball defense is what GM’s are concerned about, but his off ball blocking ability makes up for alot of that. There is no doubt that Kanter has a good shot at being the first player chosen in the draft, but that is less likely that Knight being chosen first.

Deandre Liggins has been working out for lots of teams recently. Some experts say that Liggins may have one of the most “NBA ready” body’s in all of this class. That does not mean he is one of the best players, but it’t because of his size, legnth and quickness, which are key factors to being a great defensive player in the NBA.

Josh Harrellson has also been working out for alot of teams, but he has fallen on most of the Mock draft’s recently. Some say it is due to his lack of athleticism and quickness, while his ability to shoot at 6’10” is keeping NBA teams eye’s open.

We at NOB wish the best of luck to all four players in this year’s NBA draft.
