I totally love Tony Wroten’s game. I was quite clear before last year’s draft that if Marshon Brooks wasn’t taken in the lottery, there were going to be a bunch of teams wondering where their scouting departments went wrong. I feel the same way about Tony Wroten. He has a world of talent which will transition easily into the NBA game. He may not be the world’s greatest shooter; he may turn the ball over too much right now. But as a freshman, his body, his athleticsm, and his desire to pass the ball is just too much to pass on if you have a pick somewhere in the lottery. Imagine him in Utah, a team that is quietly becoming more athletic than they have been in years. I love the idea of him throwing lobs to Favors, going pick and roll with Jefferson and Millsap, and finding Hayword in the corner or Burks on the wing. I’ve heard the Tyreke Evans comparions, and I honestly feel like Wroten’s ceiling is higher than Evans. I expect Wroten to be an all star in this league one day. To me, he’s one of those guys who is going to be a better pro than collegiate player. As a raptors fan, I’d drool to have him here, even if #5 is too high. In hindsite, if Marshon Brooks finishing the season at 15ppg+ as a rookie, shouldn’t he have been considered as a top 5 pick too???

I’d love to hear your thoughts on Tony Wroten’s game

 Another Wroten thread………………..

But as I’ve stated before, I see Tyreke all over again.

 I’d take him over any other pg in this draft.

Wroten reminds me of the late Hall of Famer Dennis Johnson,DJ was about 6’4 and went in the 2nd round..Scouts also had concerns about rather he could be a pg at the next level and about his outside shot….But he had great court vision,was highly competitive,had a great feel for the game and got the ball to the right people at the right time…..Bird said DJ was the best player he ever played with..Wroten is no where near the defender Dennis Johnson was,but he has the physical skills to become a good defender…

His dunk over Chol on saturday took me out of my seat, and I’m a Arizona fan.

 He’s the best PG prospect in this class, should be in the running for Pac 10 player of the year as an 18 year old freshman.  And his body and game are similiar to Tyreke Evans only Wroten is a much better passer.  In fact Wroten is a very gifted natural play maker and passer.  He’s playing out of position at Washington and people aren’t getting to see his best side which is running a team and setting up teammates because he’s asked to carry a big scoring load on that team.

 Whats the reason of his high TO? he gets pocked? travels too much? i think he is too flashy and more flash over substance in the passing area. (nobody can deny he has vision though) in my humble opinion he need to return and polish his game.

 The guy is so overrated. He’s Terrence Williams part deux. He’s a losing basketball player and terrible desicion maker.

Terrence Williams? No, way more Tyreke Evans that Terrence Williams. If he enters, he is a definite lottery lock. I cant see him slipping past New Orleans with the second draft pick that they have.

 Yeah he is nothing like Terrence Williams is Wroten stays til his senior year he would be the clear best guard in the nation.  They don’t have anything in common.

And Evans is and has always been a better pure scorer while Wroten can score but he’s also an amazing passer.

For everybody doubting his passing ability go look at his stats when he’s played PG on team with talent his scoring took a back seat to setting teammates up.  He had a 16 and 11 in the Jordan Brand Classic, and for the American Worlds team he averaged 8 and 4 off the bench.

He get’s a ton of turnover yes this we know but that doesn’t mean he don’t have great passing ability.  Remenber he’s only 18 and he is currently playing out of position.  When Wroten get’s the ball he tries too hard to either score or be the person passing for the scorer.  If he ran pooint full time he wouldn’t have these tendencies.  And most of turnovers are just simply risky passes or his teammates arent ready.  Yes I’m blaiming his teammates for atleast 2 turnovers a game the same way John Wall’s teammates are responsible for his lower APG but high TPG.  

And I didn’t even know you mentioned Marshon Brooks I think we were meant to be together….pause….but seriously I felt the same way.  Not only that Marshon stunned everybody at the combine by putting up ridiculous athletic testing scores and measuring a 7’1 wingspan.  I have no idea how he dropped so low.  I really thought he should of been in play as high as 9 to the Bobcats.
