Rubio
I agree that Rubio is an erractic shooter, but has good overall feel for his position at such tender age, free throw shooting is up, so he has great posibilities in improving mindrange shooting.
i think Rubio's assist will be high in nba due to his passing ability, its the closest guy to Steve Nash in the last drafts.
I think Hamed could be a good reserve center and Gasol has good potential to be a true center unlike his brother...

Patrick Mills
Any team that gets this guy is seriously lucky and has a good future ahead of them. He is a true point guard because he showed signs of being able to pass. Size doesn't matter anymore in the nba. He can drive like Rondo.

Hamed & Gasol
With Hamed, the Iranian center has drawn alot of interest at the Utah held summer league, where he seemed to outplay both Kosta Koufos and Fesenko from the Jazz. Leading the Olympics in rebounds and blocks, a lot of NBA teams are probably going to make a run on Hamed now that he is cleared to play in the NBA.
Gasol is much of a better defender than his own brother Pau, so he should do fine in the NBA.

Patrick Mills
I think Patrick Mills could turn out to be a Solid NBA Prospect once he decides to turn pro, I love his blinding quickness. He was getting by most of the NBA guys in the Olympic games I saw!

Draft:
Ricky Rubio PG (Spain) -- Great defender, amazing composure, team player, feel for the game... Can he shoot?
Patty Mills PG (Australia) -- Blinding speed (Paul couldn't stay in front of him), great shooter... Size concerns (5-11?), positions concerns, is he a true point guard?
Joe Ingles SF (Australia) -- Solid size/length/athleticism. Plays hard, good skills... Strength aggressiveness?
Tim Ohlbrecht PF (Germany) -- Good size/athlete... Appeared overwhelmed. Intensity, heart?
Chen Jianghua (China) -- Played about 1 minute against team USA. Talented athlete, great speed. Can he play controlled effective basketball at the PG position?
NBA:
Rudy Fernandez (Spain) -- Joining Portland. Excellent athlete, solid shooter, passing ability... Will he be quick to adjust to NBA? Is strength an issue?
Marc Gasol (Spain) -- Joining Memphis. Great size 7-foot, toughness, good skill level. A number of NBA guys complimented him after the first match up. pick 47 obviously too low after receiving a top 10 pick salary... Can he improve body, quickness to be a true impact player?
Hamed Haddadi (Iran) -- Great size 7'2. Solid touch. Decent skill level. Interesting prospect... Lacks great speed. Will foreign relations derail NBA chances? NBA waiting for government approval before allowing teams to sign him.
