The NBA Draft is not an exact science and sometimes teams find a hidden gem at the end of the first round. Here I examine picks 26 through 30 in the 2006 draft and how each player has come along in their NBA career Jordans For Women thus far.
26.Los Angeles Lakers selected Jordan Farmar: Farmar has played well since entering the league. He shown the ability to be an asset in the triangle offense and really had a fire lit under him when the Lakers drafted another point guard in Javaris Crittenton (who was eventually traded). There have been rumblings that owner Jordan 1 Jerry Buss doesn think Farmar projects as a long-term starter at the position though.
27.Portland Trail Blazers selected Sergio Rodriguez: I gaffwefda thought this was a steal Jordan 9 at the time of the draft, but Rodriguez hasn done much besides show flashes. Nate McMillan probably isn the best kind of coach for the fancy Rodriguez, but you think McMillan would be playing him more than the 8.8 minutes per game he received last season if he even remotely deserved it. His ball-handling and passing skills have a flare that could sell NBA tickets, but, at the same time, this isn the And 1 Mix tape Tour.
28.Dallas Maverick selected Maurice Ager: Ager has had trouble finding his way onto the floor since he was drafted. He was a pretty consistent shooter on the collegiate level at Michigan State but has failed to carry that trait into the league. Ager shot 32 percent from the field and 16 percent from deep last season. That not going to cut it for any guard in the NBA, especially a two guard. Ager was traded to New Jersey in the Jason Kidd deal last season and probably has one more chance to make something of himself before he headed overseas.
29.New York Knicks selected Mardy Collins: To this point, Collins is best known for his role in the brawl at Madison Square Garden between the Knicks and Nuggets. Despite terrific Jordan Heels size for the point guard position and an all-around game that should suit the NBA, Collins has failed to do much worthy of recognition in the league. He did perform very well in this year summer league, so don write him off just yet. However, if he doesn perform better during the regular season, hel probably be cut.
30.Portland Trail Blazers selected Joel Freeland: This and the aforementioned Rodriguez pick were rare mistakes for the Blazers. With Freeland, the club took a shot on a guy who had only been playing organized basketball for a few years, which never seems to work out. He was a hot name in the days leading up to the draft, but was still a Jordan 4 bit of a surprise in the first round. Freeland has not logged a minute ion the NBA to this point and it uncertain if he ever will.
