Harangody projected #59 pick in 2010?

he's a tweener....... think he'll have problems in the nba.... unless he learns to shoot 23 footers and do crossovers.... and that's not gonna happen.

think he'll play with his back to the basket against yao?

I guess he will be a defensive liability definitely but he is a hard player to guard if he is not the go to guy. He is at least as good as Corliss Williamson but has more of an outside shot.

He has much more off the dribble game and outside shooting than last year, could possibly get better as much as he has improved since freshmen year.

He is a defensive liability and is very unathletic. He gets abused by average players, they just dunk over him.

With that being said he is mobile for a big man even though he can't jump. He's like Dirk without the ability to shoot the 3.

Just like Hansbrough who can't jump either. Hansbrough won't get those lean in foul calls in the NBA where he leans into the defender who is doing nothing but standing there with his arms up. Hansbrough will not be even a decent NBA player.

I think "the big nasty" as a whole is better than Harangody. That being said, Harangody perhaps is a more pure shooter. It will be fun to see what he does at the next level. I think perhaps Wally S (I can never spell his name) is a better comparison.
