2008 NBA Draft: Fantasy Perspective

The 2008 NBA Draft looks to be a fairly deep draft. As the college season gets further underway, the picture is starting to clear up and the studs are starting to separate themselves.

Here are some players whose stocks are currently on the rise.

Michael Beasley, Kansas State
Beasley came into the season as a top ten pick. Now he’s well on his way to locking up the number one overall pick. At Kansas State, Beasley has been putting up monster numbers. Currently, Beasley is averaging 26.3 points, 14.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks.

Eric Gordon, Indiana
Gordon exploded onto the college scene at Indiana and is now looking like a lottery pick. He’s a 6-foot-5 shooting guard with good range and very good athleticism. If he can prove that size won’t be an issue for him, he could move into the top three.

DeAndre Jordan, Texas A&M
This 7-footer has shown his obvious talents. However, he isn’t playing a lot of minutes and some scouts are starting to question parts of his game. That said, he’s big and raw, which means an NBA team will pick him high in the draft.

D.J. Augustin, Texas
Augustin was overlooked last year as he played next to Kevin Durant. Now that he has the whole team to himself, he’s showing how good he really is. Augustin is one of the best point guards in the draft and is looking more and more like a lottery pick.
