NBA draft insider: Small forward
June 26, 2006
BY JOHN JACKSON STAFF REPORTER
Some general managers subscribe to the theory that 6-8 is the perfect size for a player in the NBA, and those GMs probably are salivating as this year's draft approaches.
The 2006 draft class is light on accomplished big men, but it is very deep when it comes to talented small forwards. Adam Morrison of Gonzaga and Rudy Gay of Connecticut could be among the top three picks, and good players at the position figure to be available throughout the first round.
