Oh yes, it’s this Thursday.

The 2010 NBA Draft is this Thursday and the great amount of talent and depth this year could make the NBA Draft surprising and unpredictable.

We all know John Wall SHOULD go no.1 overall. After he gets drafted, everybody else can either go no.2. On that note, here are just some of the bright young talents out there who can make an impact for any NBA team once the season gets going again.

First we have Evan Turner, a 6-7 junior swingman from Ohio State. The scout who is skeptical of Wall believes Turner should be ranked as his peer. “Wall and Turner are Nos. 1 and 1a. Turner is going to be an All-Star. I have great faith in that. His size, his approach, his style of game — all are suited to the pros.”

“You can see he’s a guy who enjoys playing,” the scout continued. “His ability to improve his shooting will control his greatness. He’s like Oscar Robertson. He can have that type of impact. Oscar wasn’t a guy people worried about when he went behind the pick and launched the bomb — you almost preferred him to do that — and that’s how it is with Turner.”

Next we have Wesley Johnson, the 6-7 junior forward from Syracuse. “Wesley Johnson has been the surprise of the year,” one scout said. “He has a lot going for him — size, skills — and he’s the reason behind Syracuse’s 18-1 season. He has the potential to be very special, and I’m told he has a good basketball mind. At the end of the day, he can be a 20-point scorer, a good rebounder and a passer.”

“He’s probably the best athlete in the draft,” a team executive…

The BCS Bowl season continues.

And this time, we have the 2010 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl for you. This one features two undefeated teams in their respective conferences as the Boise State Broncos go up against the TCU Horned Frogs at University of Phoenix Stadium.

Both the Boise State Broncos and the TCU Horned Frogs finished with unblemished records to win their respective conferences. Boise State finished 13-0 to win the WAC title while TCU finished 12-0 to win the Mountain West Conference.

The Boise State Broncos and the TCU Horned Frogs have only met twice with both meetings occurring in big BCS bowl games. They collided last season in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl with the Horned Frogs winning an exciting 17-16 decision then. Boise State prevailed 34-31 in their first meeting on December 23, 2003 in the Plains Capital Fort Worth Bowl on TCU’s home turf.

For the past 10 years, the Broncos boast a 121-20 composite record for a .858 winning percentage that leads the nation over that span. The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl will be Boise State’s 10th bowl appearance and second BCS appearance in the past four seasons.

The irresistible force meets the immovable object.

No, it’s not Hulk Hogan versus Andre the Giant all over again but the 2010 Rose Bowl. Oregon’s irresistible running game, averaging 236 yards per contest, takes on Ohio State’s immovable defense that has only given up a measly 83.7 yards to the opposing team.

Well, something’s got to give and this Rose Bowl game between the Oregon Ducks and the Ohio State Buckeyes could very well decide which is really important in winning championships, defense or offense?

The Ohio State Buckeyes have always been the better team every single time they went up against Oregon. The Buckeyes have been so dominant that they haven’t been defeated by any Oregon Ducks team for seven straight contests.

Yes, Ohio State is 7-0 all-time against Oregon, which makes betting on the Ducks at the Rose Bowl a little bit harder to fathom.

Of course, if you’re a Ducks fan, you’d be happy to know that these two teams haven’t played each other since 1987 and a lot of improvements have been made by the Ducks since then. Oregon now has a formidable running game that ranks sixth overall in the nation and as good as that offense has been, their defense isn’t so bad either.

Oregon has only surrendered 329 yards per game, which ranks…
