I would love to see him make it to his senior year.

NBAdraft.net has Varnado as the 19th overall pick in the 2010 draft
- Thread starter JacksonDevilDog
- Start date
I think Stro had a lot more of an offensive game that JV has shown to date. I am too lazy to look it up but I would bet he was in the 15-18 ppg range. Who is the other one? Randolph from this year? Drawing a blank on that one.
thus, his draft status skyrocketed. i would say his offensive game was better than varnado's, plus he is more fluid running up and down the court (if that makes sense), whereas varnado lumbers when he runs and is more of a center, not a forward.
and as for stro, he was a freak athlete and was definitely better with the ball in his hands than varnado is. he also projected as an easier transition to a forward in the NBA, like thomas. those guys could actually run the court and put the ball on the floor when needed.
while varnado can run the court, he looks more like a center running the court. he needs to keep working on that 10-12 ft jumper and his post moves. if he can do that and add some pounds, i think he definitely has a shot as a power forward in the NBA.
does anyone remember stro's one-step super windmill tomahawk dunk in starkville? he was all by himself, and it was one of the most impressive dunks i've ever seen in person.

As athletic as they were, neither have developed into much of an NBA player. Both have questionable work ethics if you believe the things you read about them. In Stro's case, it has to be true. No one can be that athletic, that long and that skilled, and suck that much. Thomas I think goes in and out of the doghouse but seemed to step it up a little in the latter part of last season.
Thomas didnt have much of an offensive game facing the basket...i want to say his FT's were pretty bad too...But he was a rebounding maching, dunked on alley oops, and was swatting **** right and left during the Tourney...
Swift and Thomas show us that Vanardo could quite possibly go in Round 1 somewhere
