EvenMoney’s 2011 NBA Draft Big Board

We put together the 60 players we feel will be drafted. The players are listed with a Draft Range – high to low – as to where we feel they will be picked and/or their true value based on our model and its 4 metrics.

Our Big Board does not account for players who did not play at a NCAA college this past season, but our Mock Draft will! This means up to 10 players might get knocked off the Big Board by International Players.

The 3 players our model couldn't measure but who are being talked up as lottery selections or (at least) first rounders!  Bust or Studs?  (In RED)

EvenMoney’s NBA Draft 2011 – Top 5 Shooting Guards, #5

 #5 – E'Twaun Moore (or)  Ben Hansbrough

E'Twaun Moore and Ben Hansbrough are two players who will give a team similar production and results but in different ways. It really is a matter of preference and need. Both have versatile offensive games, with three-point range and accuracy.

E’Twaun has the more athletic game, can score in more ways (volume) and a better rebounder. Ben is more efficient, gets to the line more and better play-maker. A team can’t go wrong with either guy.

Still not convinced? Ponder the stats below and press play!
