Draft Preview: Corey Brewer
Posted by: Micah Hart on June 20, 2007 at 6:21PM AFT
As we start getting closer and closer to the June 28th NBA Draft, I thought it would be a good idea to start taking a closer look at some of the players who might be plying their trade in Atlanta next season.

Though I am a huge college basketball fan, I didn't really see most of the guys projected to be available to us enough times to comment on them at length.

Fortunately, one of the beautiful things about this here Internet is there are many blogs out there that follow these guys all year long and can give insight into what kinds of players they are and what they are capable of becoming.

Today we look at a guy many consider to be the top shooting guard prospect in the draft, Florida's Corey Brewer.

Our guest expert today is Dan Shanoff, who you may know from his work at www.danshanoff.com and from his time writing for ESPN.com. Shanoff is a huge Gator supporter and has already previewed Al Horford and Joakim Noah for us. Here are his words on the third of the Gators' lottery prospects:

Corey Brewer:
Draft Express profile

How they got here: 2007 NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player

Strengths: Best defensive player in the draft, versatile, freakishly long, poster-quality finisher.

Weaknesses:
Ball-handling, ability to shoot from NBA 3-point range.

Why Hawks fans should want him:
Instantly the best defensive player on the team. Completes the dream "All 6-foot-9" lineup including Josh Smith, Marvin Williams, Shelden Williams and Joe Johnson.

What might give Hawks fans pause:
Come on, ANOTHER swingman?!

What current player he reminds you of:
Josh Howard, Manu Ginobili
