| Hobson, Darrington | New Mexico | 6'7" | 204 | SF | Jr. | The 2009-10 Mountain West Conference Player of the Year is versatile and can get to the rim with the dribble or shoot the long ball. ...Left handed. He scores easily around the hoop. ...Has deep range. He plays at NBA speed and he is stronger than he may appear. ...He played junior college before going to New Mexico. …He has poor shot selection and could be more efficient but his swagger is also an asset. He has tremendous self-confidence. Aggressive. He is an active on-ball defender and he rebounds in traffic. His offensive rebounding can be impressive. ...Good vision. He had more assists than turnovers at New Mexico. ...He attended five different high schools in four years. ...At the end of the day - I say "buyer beware" with this kid. I've seen him chew out teammates and talk back to referees. I've seen him get technical fouls that have hurt his team. ...Already 22 years old. Hobson is, in my estimation, a knucklehead with loads of talent. |
Where do I expect Hobson to be taken? Somewhere around 38th.
Our best advice: In 2001 - the 38th pick was Rod Grizzard. We said - "take Darius Songaila".
Our worst advice: In 2000 - the 38th pick was Eduardo Najera. We said - "take Harold Arceneaux".
