April 16, 200818 yr Danilo Gallinari (Italy) - 6'9", 210 lbs, SF Nicolas Batum (France) - 6'8", 214 lbs, SF/SG Alexis Ajinca (France) - 7'1", 210 lbs, PF/C Serge Ibaka (Congo) - 6'10", 220 lbs, PF Ante Tomic (Croatia) - 7'1", 230 lbs, PF/C Gallinari is the top rated guy (if he enters the draft)...he's 19 years old. To make a short summary, he's versatile, intense and highly intelligent...good shooter, passer, uses his body well, draws fouls...weaknesses are nothing you wouldn't expect for a 19 year old. Batum is also 19...a freakish athlete, unselfish and smart...questions about his consistency, intensity...isn't aggressive enough offensively, doesn't step up and take charge for his team like he should...lots of potential though. Ibaka is only 18 and a freakish athlete as well with a big upside...a lot of raw potential as you might expect. Most of the projections have Gallinari and Batum as the highest rated guys and the most likely to be lottery picks. GT probably knows more about it...maybe he can chime in...there are some other guys. I doubt anyone other than Gallinari would be picked ahead of Mayo...and my personal opinion is no international guys will be picked ahead of OJ. GT? Gee, thanks for letting HT answer. Batum is the only guy with a chance at the lottery the way I see things.
April 16, 200818 yr Batum is the only guy with a chance at the lottery the way I see things. Agreed...
April 16, 200818 yr Gee, thanks for letting HT answer. Batum is the only guy with a chance at the lottery the way I see things. Sorry, I didn't know HT wanted to answer, nor did I know you wanted to hear his answer that bad...I'll clear it with you next time. And, in any case, he isn't going ahead of OJ Mayo and even if he does, Mayo isn't dropping out of the lottery...

He seemed to have the inside track on the Europeans in the lottery so I wanted to hear what he had to say.
