I hate sleeping, yet I can often get bored during the long nights. When video games can’t feed my need I often study players by going over film, reading scouting reports, and looking at team results. Since making a mock draft this early in the season is pointless, I will go over a variety of prospects for your infotainment, and this time its point guards.

John Wall (Freshman, University of Kentucky): Most everybody has gone nuts over this guy, so I might be completely wrong when I say he won't pan out as well as the team that drafts him likes. Of course we all know he should not be a top pick, but that the hype needs to be watched.

The Good: Not many PG's can finish anywhere near him, and his size allows him to get above the rim. He can create his own shot at will and shows a genuine drive to get teammates involved. He wants to be good at D, even if he is awkward at it due to his attempt to always get the steal or cut off the passing lanes, which often lets shooting PG’s launch jumpers. He is very coachable and has a killer motor and work ethic.

The Bad: Turnover prone is an understatement. Dude gets four a game, leading all players from the big six (ACC, Big East, Big 10, Big 12, Pac-10, SEC). He can be over-reliant on his athleticism which can lead to him trying to do everything on the court. His jumper is spotty, he plays down to the competition, and he has below average court vision.

Verdict: There is little doubt he will be the number one draft pick as of right now, but the hype may be beyond reachable

After the jump: a Spartan will get there Sooner if you click the link...

Willie Warren (Sophomore, University of Oklahoma): Well yeah he is a combo guard who is shot happy, but the dude might be the most gifted scorer for this year's crop of PG's. He could become like Rip or Eddie House.

The Good: He is shooting above 50% on two's, and his three point percentage is skewed by his early season failure (6-27). He thrives in the biggest moments and plays with a chip on his shoulder. He can use either hand to control the ball and finish in a variety of ways. He gets to the line several times a game (6.4, to put in perspective this season Roy is getting to the line 6.7 times).

The Bad: While he has potential to be a good defender that is all he has on that end right now. Without a natural position he could have hard time getting a solid role in the NBA. He is not a good rebounder, and only passes as a last resort. He can often mold offenses to his needs not the other way around. More than anything, the biggest sign of growth he can show is he can begin to trust his teammates more often, which will space out the offense and help everyone
 

Verdict: He looks like he could have a similar career to Eric Gordon so far as being a change of pace guard who can score, but is a liability in most everything else. To be more than that he will need to put in a lot of work, most importantly on his off the ball movement and his commitment to helping teammates, but with time that shall come.

Kalin Lucas (Junior, Michigan State): Herrrrrre we go... Kalin Lucas might have been cursed because he won the Big 10 player of the year award. Since the 1999-00 season there has only been one all-star from the players who won it (Devin Harris made the team in 2008-09). He is also hard to project because the way his team plays is a style that makes talent hard to discern because it does not allow for individual dominance. But damn I will try.

The Good: Dude is a born winner and always plays hard. Has good court vision and loves to get everyone involved. The Junior also has great off the ball movement for a PG and can adapt to most styles, and is a very accomplished shooter with range. He hates turnovers and will get off good passes. Also, the kid has been one of the most efficient floor leaders in the past 3 years.

The Bad: He tries on D, but he simply doesn’t have the size or mass to contain most guards and would be served best with a shot blocker he could funnel his man to. His acceleration leaves a lot to be desired, as does his lateral movement. If you need him to score you need to keep him in transition since he is not good at making his own shot. He is also a poor rebounder even for a PG. with a paltry 2 per game this year.

Verdict: He may never be more than a solid backup, but he could develop into a great glue guy who can step up when needed
