From Deseret News archives:
Hit or miss? This year's draft lacks sure-fire superstar
12. New Orleans Hornets Cedrick Simmons (North Carolina State)
The scouting report: The 6-9 power forward was a defensive and rebounding specialist for the Wolfpack. His stats weren't eye-popping as a sophomore last season (11.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.5 blocks) but part of that is due to N.C. State's slow-down offensive style.
13. Philadelphia 76ers Marcus Williams (Connecticut)
The scouting report: At 6-3, he has good size for a point guard. He is an outstanding distributor who averaged 8.6 assists per game last season. Has been compared to the Jazz's Deron Williams due to his ability to run a team and make teammates better.
14. Utah Jazz Mouhamed Saer Sene (Senegal)
15. New Orleans Hornets (from Milwaukee) Rodney Carney (Memphis)
The scouting report: At 6-7, he could be either a small forward or a shooting guard in the NBA. Averaged 17.2 points per game as a senior, but was an inconsistent, streaky shooter. Outstanding athletic ability.
The scouting report: A super quick 6-1 point guard who averaged 6.1 assists per game as a sophomore. His outside shooting is a question mark.
17. Indiana Pacers Hilton Armstrong (Connecticut)
The scouting report: A 6-11 power forward whose stock rose during his senior year. A shot-blocker who has some inside moves and the ability to hit a mid-range jumper.
18. Washington Wizards Thabo Sefolosha (Switzerland)
The scouting report: This European 6-6 shooting guard's stock has been steadily rising with his recent workouts. Has a strong overall game.
