NBA Drafts ahead of the NBA All-Star weekend (Part 2)
2nd Picks: Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol & New Orleans Hornets guard Chris Paul
Pau Gasol is one of the rare international players who have won championships at such an early age. Still young and talent Pau Gasol has a lot to offer to the NBA world.
Though some people might raise their eyebrows when it is said that Pau Gasol is one of the most dominating players in the NBA currently but it is true. Pau Gasol has developed into a very big and skillful weapon for the Los Angeles Lakers.
He would be heading into team Kobe Bryant which you would have already guessed after reading his name in the list. With the strength he offers and the confidence of being a champion, Pau Gasol is one of the reckoning forces in the NBA.
Pau Gasol is one of the rare large framed men in the game today had can run, rebound, shoot and pass. The diversity in his game coupled with the experience of already playing with Kobe would result in an excellent combination ahead of one of the most awaited
events of the NBA calendar.
Chris Paul, guard of the New Orleans Hornets would be the next player in team Durant. Though he is in tough competition for being the best guard in the league with Derrick Rose but this season he has a slight drop in his averages which put him below the
Bulls guard.
Undoubtedly, Chris Paul is one of the most hard working men on court and with the skill and knowledge of game that he possess makes him a very good option for the position of guard. Chris Paul’s performance again Oklahoma City Thunder was absolutely gem
of a performance which saw the Hornets winning it in the end. Chris Paul versus Derrick Rose would be very interesting to watch in the game with Chris leading the list of steals with 2.62 steals per game.
3rd Picks: Miami Heat’s duo LeBron James and Dwyane Wade
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade after finally playing alongside each other in the Miami Heat won’t be on the same side as the square off in the All-Star game.
LeBron James, one of the most dominating and productive guards in the NBA history would be playing for Team Kobe Bryant. Though in recent times we have seen Kobe versus LeBron which have been absolutely fascinating but to even think about both these players
playing together makes the event even more interesting.
LeBron James would prefer to play alongside Wade but as he said early in the season that the main aim is to play basketball whether it be alongside anybody and any team so that might just be put into practice this upcoming All-Star weekend.
Kevin Durant would get the other guard of the Miami Heat, Dwyane Wade. Playing alongside Chris Paul with Kevin Durant up front might close door for Dwyane Wade to go on the offence like he does in Miami Heat but it would be very interesting as to how they
combine.
Dwyane Wade is one of the best guards in the league currently but recently facing a lot of injury problems he might not be able to come up with the level of performance that he is expected but if he does then team Kobe would have a lot of problems for sure
once he gets going.
