After watching one of the most exciting NBA postseasons in recent memory, the upcoming draft, which is supposedly one of the weakest the league has seen in a long time, might not seem like much more than another chance to for David Khan to embarrass himself on national television.
But even if this year's crop of prospective NBA players isn't as strong as usual, there are still plenty of guys available that can have productive careers in the NBA. Following this line of thinking, I have already dubbed the 2011 NBA Draft class as "
the year of the role player" and those teams and executives that don't realize the value which will sit before them in just a few days could be making a grave mistake.
After all the poking, prodding, speculating, interviewing, and individual workouts have come to an end, the only thing that's left to do is draft the players. With this time rapidly approaching, I've decided to classify some of the available players as a way of showing what kind of value and potential they can have on an NBA roster. Obviously, many of these players aren't entirely one dimensional but let's take a look at where they fit in this year's class.
