ESPN analyst ranks Gibson fourth
Following up on Tuesday's post about the possibility of Daniel Gibson turning pro, ESPN's Chris Forde ranked the top ten point guards of this year's potential NBA draft class. Forde ranked Gibson fourth, behind Wake Forest's Chris Paul, Illinois' Deron Williams, and North Carolina's Raymond Felton.
Forde also reports that Gibson's condition for leaving after this year is a guaranteed spot in the lottery, but that scouts only have Gibson in the 15-20 range right now. Forde also echoed my own view that Gibson is still too turnover prone and needs another year to improve his game. Forde speculates that another year in college would probably bump Gibson up to a lottery pick next year.
