An interesting list has come out this morning, on the eve of the NBA Draft, over at FoxSports.com.  Apparently, Adi Joseph of NBADraft.net ranks the top ten PGs in this year's draft, and guess which over-hyped PG finished behind a polished, 4-year senior floor general?

That's right: Joseph channels BN and puts DC two spots ahead of Jrue.  Says the man from NBADraft.net on his #10 ranked PG:

If Stephen Curry has gained the most hype since the end of the NCAA season, Holiday is following close behind. Perhaps the biggest underachiever on an underachieving UCLA team, Holiday received some praise for his selflessness but more criticism for his lack of confidence on offense and an inconsistency that plagued him all year, culminating in an 0-for-8 performance against USC in the Pac-10 tournament. He scored 20 points just once, against Florida International, (averaging 5.6 ppg over the final 12 games) and was relegated to shooting guard because of Darren Collison's veteran presence. Not exactly lottery pick-type numbers.

It's nice to see someone in the MSM isn't drinking the Jrue Kool-Aid that a lot of these NBA GM types seem to be chugging like a drunken frat boy with a keg. But, then again, a lot of these guys talking up Jrue as a for-sure lottery pick don't exactly have great records of success in the NBA (I'm talking to you, Mike Dunleavy of the pathetic Clippers, Chris Wallace of the Memphis Grizzlies (thanks for giving us Pau for nothing by the way), and Sam Presti in Oklahoma City).

Joseph put DC ahead of Jrue at #8:

In Jonny Flynn and Ty Lawson, you have two point guards with good skills and incredible speed who have suffered because of their height. Collison has all that, but he's also 30 pounds lighter and significantly weaker than his speedy contemporaries. The collegiate star, who was a major force in three Final Four runs for the Bruins, would have been best off leaving after his sophomore year (a surefire top-20 pick). But time has exposed Collison's greatest weakness, which is, of course, weakness. Collison is a winner, though. And he should make a great reserve for years to come.

While it's not exactly a glowing recommendation, it's a fair assessment of the holes in DC's game.  He's a small guy.  No one is saying he isn't.  But he does recognize that DC is a winner, that he's a true Ben Ball Warior and is a guy who never quits.  Wherever DC lands, some team is going to have a very pleasant surprise on their hands.

It's going to be interesting to see where he ends up. I wouldn't mind DC landing with Golden State.  His speed would be great in Nellie's all-out run-and-gun pace, it's be nice to get the ball out of Ellis' hand (and let him play the off guard, where he excelled when B.Diddy ran the show), and DC would bring some defensive help that Golden State really needs.  Good luck to him tonight: no matter where he plays, he'll always be a true Ben Ball Warrior that I'll track for years to come (just as with JF, AA, RW, KL, and LRMAM).
