Ed Weiland on the Draft's Shooting Guards
He has Brooks #1, Thompson #2, and Burks #3. He says Brooks checks out great in almost everything he looks for, and the only reason he can't predict all star games is because he didn't emerge until late in his career. But he notes that might be an opportunity thing, as Brooks has looked like a prospect on a per minute basis for a while now.
Interesting in that I believe Hollinger didn't like Brooks so much. Nerd fight!

Brooks is my overhyped bust of the draft pick
His highlights remind me of Flynn, No ball movement at all.
I typically agree with, and always respect Weiland's opinion...
but we have really different takes here. I really see nothing good in Brooks. Given that Weiland ussually knocks guys hard for age, I am surprised he made it up the the #1 spot. I also don’t see how his logic follows for placing Burks as the 3rd best. It seems like even by his own standards, Burks is better than Brooks and definitely better than Thompson.
