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 continue our series with Florida big man Joakim Noah, who could slot in for the Hawks anywhere from #3 to #11.

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 took a look at Al Horford for us last week. For now, here are his words on the Gators' other big man:

Joakim Noah:
Draft Express profile

How they got here: 2006 NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player. Could have been the No. 1 overall pick of the 2006 NBA Draft.

Strengths:  Energy, selflessness, great passer for a 7-footer, shot-blocking, ability to play up-tempo, magnetic presence.

Weaknesses: Shooting. Don't expect him to be a 1st, 2nd or even 3rd option on offense. But he'll get his points through hustle.

Why Hawks fans should want him: Fantastic complement to the team's gunners. Plus, if you're not going to win, you can at least show your fans you care about playing hard and with passion. From that perspective, he can be the face of the franchise.

What might give Hawks fans pause:  At what point does "high energy" tip into annoyance?

What current player he reminds you of: Andrei Kirilenko, Andy Varejao.
