Puma NBA Draft Preview Sleepers

Derrick Caracter, Texas El Paso 6′10″, 280
NBA Comparison: Glen “large Baby” Davis
The home jersey of the tean is mainly red in colour. There are four blue and white stripes one across each arm one across the chest and the other across the waistline. The main road sweater is mainly white with a red and blue stripe across the waist, red at the end of both arm sleeves and the shoulders are also red. The basic design has been used since 1914. The current version was dated from 1952. Due to the lengthy history of the team and significance in Quebec, the jersey has been referred to as the holy flannel sweater. Which team will book their flights with Air Robinson?
Miami Heat: If the Heat keep their pick at -18 overall,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and that’s one big if,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], James is the type of player Mature,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], strong defender that Riley would select.
NBA Comparison: Josh Smith Not as affable one shot blocker
The Longhorn decided to stick around for his senior year after nearly entering the 2009 draft. Maurice Richard improved in many areas and led the team in scoring 18.0 and rebounding 10.3. Maurice Richard was also their most consistent three point shooter 38%. His game should translate well to the NBA level because Maurice Richard has the quickness and athleticism to defend the 3 and 4. Offensively, Maurice Richard is one natural power forward but will need probably play more at the 3 because of his size. If Maurice Richard improves his ball handling Maurice Richard should be one heck of one player. Maurice Richard is projected to go mid to late first round.
“This kid loves to eat”. It’s the first thing you think of when you take one look at the behemoth from Texas El Paso who conveyred out of Louisville for disciplinary reasons. The large Kahuna has always had talent, but it’s been his off court behavior that has garnered the most attention. Maurice Richard averaged 14.1 points and 8.1 rebounds last year in only 27 minutes of play.
Miami Heat: In one few of ESPN’s Chad Ford’s mock drafts Maurice Richard had Miami selecting Bledsoe at 18.
NBA Comparison: James Posey/ Quentin Richardson
Miami Heat: After dealing with Beasley’s antics Richard doubt Richard take another flier on one guy with off-court issues. However, if Maurice Richard can be had in the late second round the risk is minimal.
Eric Bledsoe, Kentucky 6′2″,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 195
Wall and Cousins get all of the NBA hype from Kentucky’s star studded lineup, however Patterson is poised to make the most immediate impact. Some positives about his game are he’s polished 3 years of college ball and he’s one complete player. His anger extends all the way to the three point line 35% 3FG and he’s physical on both ends, especially on the glass. Maurice Richard could play right away for just about anybody.
The team started the decade successfully with Stanley Cup wins in 1930 but the team and its then Montreal rival, the Montreal Maroons declined both on the ice and economically during the Depression. Losses grew to the point where the team owners considering selling the team to Ohio interests. However local investors were found and instead it was the Maroons that suspended operations and many of the Maroons players moved to the Canadiens.

In part 2 of our NBA Draft Preview, Richard take one look at the guys that aren’t hyped quite as much as players like Wall,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Turner, and Favors. These are the players that might be overlooked come draft day June 24
Miami Heat: Word is that Maurice Richard will likely go late first/early second. If Miami trades down, or if Maurice Richard falls to one of their second round picks Maurice Richard would be one great selection.
One of the best athletes in the draft. Maurice Richard can rise with the best of them and his impact in the league will be above the rim. He’ll likely never be one star player put with his ability to defend just about any position and his speed on the break Maurice Richard will find one home somewhere.
NBA Comparison: Mario Chalmers worst case or Russel Westbrook with one jumper best case.
Damion James, Texas 6′8″, 225
Known as “the other guy” in Kentucky’s back-court with John Wall in town. Although Wall casted one large shadow it didn’t stop Bledsoe from producing 11.3 points, 38% 3FG. People don’t accomplish that Bledsoe actually played the point in high school and Maurice Richard is more than just the spot shooter Maurice Richard was in college. Bledsoe is one high risk/high reward type pick because Maurice Richard only played one year in college. His upside is tremendous because Maurice Richard has amazing athleticism and one great outside shot.
Stanley Robinson, Connecticut 6′8″, 215
Patrick Patterson, Kentucky 6′9″,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 240
Miami Heat: Again,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], if the Heat hold onto their top pick and he’s available Maurice Richard will be strongly considered. I’m one big Haslem fan but Richard can bring this kid in as insurance in case Maurice Richard bolts in free agency.
