From Deseret News archives:
Hit or miss? This year's draft lacks sure-fire superstar
The scouting report: At 6-3, has good size for a point guard and is solid offensively. His defense is considered suspect, however.
The scouting report: A 6-9 power forward who is athletic and has a decent mid-range shot. But at 23, he's not as young as some of the other potential picks.
21. Phoenix Suns (from L.A. Lakers ) Shawne Williams (Memphis)
The scouting report: A 6-9 forward shot 43 percent from 3-point range in his only college season. A good rebounder and shot blocker.
22. New Jersey Nets (from L.A. Clippers) Shannon Brown (Michigan State)
The scouting report: A 6-4 shooting guard with good strength for his position. Averaged 17.2 points last season.
23. New Jersey Nets Mardy Collins (Temple)
24. Memphis Grizzlies Maurice Ager (Michigan State)
The scouting report: A Jazz favorite, this 6-5 shooting guard has nice range on his jumper, even if he is inconsistent and streaky.
25. Cleveland Cavaliers Jordan Farmar (UCLA)
The scouting report: A pure point guard who is a fine passer. Not a great outside shooter, but averaged 13.2 points last season as a sophomore.
26. Los Angeles Lakers (from Miami) Kyle Lowry (Villanova)
27. Phoenix Suns Olexsiy Pecherov (Ukraine)
The scouting report: A 7-footer who will likely be a center in the NBA, but has a nice outside shooting touch. Needs to get stronger.
28. Dallas Mavericks Marcus Vincius (Brazil)
