That was a very entertaining game, I love how Florida beat the press so easily. They put up an exibition. Noah should be the #1 overall pick! what a monster. Theres no way hes going back to florida next year, despite what he has said before. you just dont give up 10s of millions of guarenteed money.
No way Noah goes #1! Not when you got guys like LeMarcus Aldridge, Tryus Thomas and Adam Morrison. Have Noah play the 2 in the Pros and get his ish swatted by Garnett a few times. That'll show him whats up. The diff. with Noah unlike a lot of other college kids makin the jump is I dont think he really has the pressure with $$$. With this Dad making a lot in tennis I am pretty sure they live comfortably so I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back.
With that said he's a great college player. He'd def. have to add some lbs. before hittin the NBA.

UF has hit 3s against all their opponents, been able to get around almost any defense thrown at them, and I am very confident will do the same against UCLA.

That other kid looks promising though...the one with the headband.
Problem with Noah is his narrow shoulders!! He has no lower body strength and can't gain weight cause of it. Watch. Won't be able to gain more than 15-20 lbs. max on that frame and with no outside shot (Have you ever seen him take more than a 6-7 footer?) say bye bye to any sort of NBA game. Unfortunately with this size he'll prob. have to play the 3 or 2 in the Pros and he doesn't fit in either of those positions because he has no jump shot and he's not big enough! He's the classic example of a Jared Jeffries that plays for the Wizards. Decent ball handler but no shot and not big enough but was good in college and got his team to the Championship game his sophomore year (Only to get trounced by the Terps). Sound familiar huh?
Conversely, Brewer has a better show in the Pros. Only because he creates mismatches with his size. If he can develop his outside shot even more (He already has a good one to begin with) he can play the SG spot and create havoc cause he's so tall and seems to be quick on defense. The NBA is all about size and where you fit in. If you don't have a defined position you're kind of F'ed. I do a lot of research into sports anyways. The Wiz need to hire me as a draft expert!!
