1. New Orleans - Renardo Sidney PF - Sidney has future star written all over him. He has a skill set which matches up with a player like Kevin Garnett but he is bigger and stronger then KG was out of HS. He is a player that could reach 280 pounds and have an inside outside game similar to Arvydas Sabonis. The face of the Hornets franchise for the next 15 years.
2. Philadelphia - John Wall PG - The Sixers need a point guard and John Wall is the best one in this class. Although not a prototypical point, he has a game that should fit in well with a balanced offense team like the Sixers.
3. Miami - Derrick Favors PF - The Heat have a bunch of small players that are the future of the franchise, but they desperately need size. Favors is a big time PF spect that will be an excellent defender at the very least.
4. Sacramento - Tony Woods C - This is where things get a little tricky. The Kings need a big man, and Woods looks the part of a very good BBS center. His offense is limited though and this may be a little high for him.
5. Miami - Ty Walker PF - Another slight reach here, but the Heat need size. Walker should be a solid big man who can defend and block shots. His offense is limited, but he should offer enough to be a double double player with 2+ blocks per game.
6. Chicago - Donatus Montiejunas PF - The Bulls need upside and they get it here with Montiejunas. Although he anything but sure thing, he has the size, athleticism and talent to be a star in the BBS if everything falls right.
7. Seattle - Kemba Walker PG - Walker should be a very good PG in the BBS. Maybe not elite, but definately a guy that can distribute and lead a team.
8. Phoenix - Gani Lawal PF - Much more of a defender rebounder type then a big time post score, Lawal should grab 10 boards a night as a rookie.
9. New Orleans - Elliot Williams SG - After Sidney everything else is gravy for the Hornets. Williams should be a solid bench combo guard at least, and a solid starting 2 at best.
10. Phoenix - Serge Ibaka PF - Ibaka is raw but he can block shots. With so much uncertainty at the end of the lotto a player like Ibaka will be a safe pick.
11. Atlanta - Jamychal Green PF - Green is a very tenacious rebounder who should be a good compliment to Samardo Samuels inside.
12. Memphis - Anatoly Kashirov C - A player with good size and upside, Kashirov will be a solid late lotto, or mid first round selection.
13. Chicago - Terrence Jennings C - With good centers hard to find in the BBS, a player like Jennings who offers size, strength and rebounding will be a hot commodity in the middle of round 1.
