1.Dallas - Dwyane Wade SG - The Mavericks can go 2 directions here, and essentially they cant lose. Most scouts feel as though Wade is the #1 guy because he has the ability to be a 28-30 PPG scorer.
2.Indiana - Yao Ming C - The Pacers are very excited to get a franchise player at #2. Although the Pacers love JRich, they are uncertain if he is a true #1 guy. In Yao the Pacers get not only an anchor defender, but a true #1 scorer and franchise player.
3.Utah - Amare Stoudemire PF - The Jazz want a talented young PF to team with young stud SF Gerald Wallace and Amare is a perfect fit. Stoudemire should be a 20-10 PF and team with Wallace to be an awesome shot blocking forward combo.
4.Memphis - Gilbert Arenas PG - The Grizzlies add a super young point guard to an already loaded young backcourt. Arenas, Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson should be a great 1-2-3 punch.
5.Phoenix - Carlos Boozer PF - Kenyon Martin has been a bust so far, so getting a low post threat like Boozer seems like a perfect fit. Although not a very good defender, Boozer should be a great #2 option in Phoenix behind Rip Hamilton.
6.New York - Tayshaun Prince SF - The Knicks love defense and with Prince, and Tyson Chandler the expect to have one of the best defenses around for years to come.
7.Golden State - Caron Butler SF - Butler is a perfect 3rd scorer for the Warriors behind Elton Brand and Joe Johnson. Expect the Warriors to be a top team in the West for the next 5-8 years behind these 3 guys.
8.Golden State - Nene PF - The Warriors want to continue to stockpile young talent, and get a nice young backup big man in Nene. Expect Nene to push Eddy Curry for the starting center job even as a rookie.
9.Miami - Nenad Krstic C - The Heat would rather get someone who can help right away, but take the project player instead. In 2 or 3 years Krstic and Pau Gasol might be the best PF/C combo in BBS.
10.Houston - Drew Gooden PF - Gooden is a very good college player who's game should translate well to the pros. Above average at many things, but great at nothing.
11.Dallas - Juan Carlos Navarro PG - One of the better point guards in the draft, Navarro should start as a rookie. Expect him to be a pretty solid shooter and ball handler who struggles a bit on the defensive side of things.
12.Phoenix - Udonis Haslem PF - Safe pick here for the Suns. Haslem should be a solid man to man defender, and a good rebounder. He should also have a solid mid range game.
13.Toronto - Chris Wilcox PF - Raptors take a flier on a young power player in Wilcox here. Wilcox can run and jump, so that should fit in with the Raptors high octane offense.
