Brandan Wright and Joakim Noah
Now I present prospects three and four in my ongoing series. First I presented Greg Oden, the consensus number one pick of the draft, and Kevin Durant. With the Sixers still owning the second worse record in the league, only behind the Memphis Grizzlies, chances are good they will own a top pick in the draft. Here I look into Brandan Wright and Joakim Noah.
Brandan Wright is a 6’10 power forward for the North Carolina Tar Heels. Wright was a McDonald’s All-American in high school and is part of the highly rated freshman class at UNC. He is not as highly touted as either Greg Oden or Kevin Durant but would provide a great potential for the Sixers to build around. Currently he is averaging 15.4 points per game and 6.5 rebounds per game. He has drawn comparisons to Kevin Garnett. He runs the floor well and also uses his large wingspan to grab rebounds and block shots. Wright is very athletic with both incredible talent and potential.
Joakim Noah is a junior at defending National Champion Florida Gators. He passed up a chance to come out last year when his stock was very high and could to the same again this year. Noah is a very good defensive force but has a limited offensive game. He has a lot of untapped potential but did not develop as much as anticipated coming into this year. Noah is a very aggressive player that gives 110% all the time and played very well in last year’s tournament. Along with teammate, Al Horford, Noah dominates the paint with his 6’11 frame. I am not as high on him as I am on the first three prospects I presented but has adequate potential.
The Sixers will have a chance to reshape their future this June in the draft and by landing any of these players they will be in terrific shape. By the way don't forget the the Flyers play tonight and are on a three game win streak. Also the Sixers defeated AI and the Denver Nuggets.
