From Deseret News archives:
Hit or miss? This year's draft lacks sure-fire superstar
6. Minnesota Timberwolves Brandon Roy (Washington)
The scouting report: He's 6-6 and listed by most sources as a shooting guard, but could also play the point in the NBA. Averaged 20.2 points as a senior for the Huskies. He has an excellent first step and a good mid-range jumper, but his outside shot is suspect and he's had knee problems.
7. Boston Celtics Randy Foye (Villanova)
The scouting report: A 6-4 combo guard who expects to play more point in the NBA. He has excellent strength, ball-handling skills and showed leadership ability in college. Plays strong defense and averaged 20.5 points as a senior. Needs to work on passing to become pure point guard.
8. Houston Rockets J.J. Redick (Duke)
The scouting report: The all-time scoring leader in ACC history is a 6-4 pure shooter who averaged 26.8 points as a senior. A back injury and recent DWI arrest are concerns, but he's not expected to fall out of the lottery because of them. His defensive ability is questionable.
9. Golden State Warriors Sheldon Williams (Duke)
The scouting report: He's 6-9 and strong, but too small to be a center in the NBA. Was an outstanding college player on both ends of the court, averaging 18.8 points, 10.7 rebounds and 3.8 blocked shots per game as a senior. More athletic than he's sometimes given credit for.
10. Seattle SuperSonics Patrick O'Bryant (Bradley)
The scouting report: A 7-foot center who played well in the NCAA Tournament, O'Bryant is still considered a project. Averaged 13.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.8 rebounds last season as a sophomore. He has good mobility and what scouts term "a huge upside."
