2009 NBA Mock Draft: ATS Consultants

Comment: Strong point guard from Connecticut who had an outstanding senior season. Some red flags on a knee injury two years ago and character issues.

47) Minnesota PF Leo Lyons, Missouri 6' 9", 235 lbs.
Comment: Big man who can run the floor. Nearly 6' 10", but just average wing span.

48) Phoenix SF Dante Cunningham, Villanova 6' 8", 230 lbs.
Comment: Another hard working, undersized power forward. He’ll have to play small forward in the pros, though he did improve his accuracy from beyond 15 feet this year at Villanova.

49) Atlanta PG Rodrigue Beaubois, France, 6' 2", 180 lbs.
Comment: It appears Acie Law may be a bust or needs a different organization. Thin point guard with very long arms, making up for his lack of size. Very good shooter.

50) Utah SF Tyler Smith, Tennessee 6' 7", 210 lbs.
Comment: Great athlete who can really defend. Also has a very quick first step and can get to the basket as a slasher. Big question on ball handling ability.

51) San Antonio SF Damion James, Texas 6' 7", 225 lbs.                                         Comment: James may still go back to college and he needs to. Does have a strong body with excellent leaping ability. Has to improve his shooting ability.

52) Indiana SG Jodie Meeks, Kentucky, 6' 4", 205 lbs.
Comment: What a year for Meeks at Kentucky. He went from 8.8 points per game to 24.2 ppg. Lack of height hurts his stock.

53) San Antonio SG Wesley Matthews, Marquette, 6' 5", 215 lbs.
Comment: Powerful shooting guard who is decent athletically. Needs to improve his handle like most players who play small forward in college.

54) Charlotte SF/PG DeMarre Carroll, Missouri, 6' 8", 225 lbs.
Comment: Former power forward who made transition to the wing. Runs the floor very well and can finish. Not an elite athlete for a wing.

55) Portland PF Alade Aminu, Georgia Tech, 6' 10", 235 lbs.
Comment: Has a 7' 3" wingspan and tremendous potential. Should have stayed another year in college. He came off the bench in the team’s final 12 games, which says a lot about how far he is from being a productive player.

56) Portland PF Jon Brockman, Washington, 6' 7", 255 lbs.
Comment: A semi-local banger, who will rebound like gangbusters when given a chance. Lacks a dependable offensive move and lack of height will make him a role player at best.

57) Phoenix PG Jack McClinton, Miami (Fla.), 6' 1", 185 lbs.
Comment: Another small shooting guard, who will have to adjust to the point in the NBA. Can really shoot it and loves taking the clutch shot.

58) Boston PG Tyreese Rice, Boston College, 6' 0", 190 lbs.
Comment: A local player who is very explosive. Can flat out score, but can he play point at the next level?

59) L.A. Lakers SF Emir Preldzic, Fenerbahce Ulker 6' 9", 220 lbs.

Comment: A very skilled Slovenian, who can handle the ball like a point forward. Similar to Hedo Turkoglu.

60) Miami C Garret Siler, August State 6' 11", 305 lbs.
Comment: Got size anyone? Worth it to take a flier on big man who has only play organized hoops for five years.
