What can't he do? They keep saying that he is not a superstar, but he strikes me as a guy that plays his role. In college when he was called on to score he did it. Rebound he did it. Knock down from deep he did it. Defend 4 positions he did it. Teams like orlando, Boston, Spurs need to be working hard to get a guy like Rush or CDR. I like Courtney Lee as well. Can't wait for the summer league to see what guys going to step up... Barring injury isn’t Kareem Rush the most complete player in the draft not named Beasley?

They say character issues but that's weak. JR Rider got a dozen chances, Ricky Davis is still in the league, JR Smith(what is it with these JR's?) Rasheed, Artest i mean come on. If he can play and contribute to a winner then it won't matter. He's a top 20 talent in this draft. CDR - Obviously Othello Hunter - Big guy from OSU. At least as good as Fransico Elson. Robin lopez - Aren't both Collins bros still in the league? He can't be that much worse then his brother. woulda said ty lawson but... Shoulda stayed til senior season: Anthony Randolph. had good numbers on a horrible team...weak Koustas or whatever. Why was he so hyped anyway. Has any white guys with his skill set every been that successful in the league? Unless he's a deadeye like Matt Bulliard he's the next Lafrentz, without the pedigree. Rose - Blasphemy Kobeef is about right now let me make my points

JR Giddens – hooper. They say character issues but that’s weak. JR Rider got a dozen chances, Ricky Davis is still in the league, JR Smith(what is it with these JR’s?) Rasheed, Artest i mean come on.

CDR – Obviously

Othello Hunter – Big guy from OSU. At least as good as Fransico Elson.

Robin lopez – Aren’t both Collins bros still in the league? He can’t be that much worse then his brother.

I'm also liking Pat Calathais to stick in the league and contribute. Also every year we have undersized PFs in the 2nd round who contribute from day 1. This year that should be DJ White and Joey Dorsey. Bill Walker and Jason Thompson are my steals. I’m also liking Pat Calathais to stick in the league and contribute.

He has an NBA ready game, plays defense, boxes out and is a great rebounder. I think my second round gem is DeVon Hardin (Cal).
