1. Sacramento - Azuolas Kanauskas SF - The Kings have virtually nothing of value on their roster. The case can be named that they are the worst franchise in the league right now. They need a young player that has tons of upside and they get just that in Kanauskas. While not a good defender, Kanauskas will be a legit #1 option maybe even as a rookie on a bad Kings squad.
2. Chicago - Iarere Ballantyne SG - The Bulls have too many guards, but Ballantyne is too good to pass up. When rebuilding, its always best to go for best available player and then make deals with your depth to shore up weaknesses. Ballantyne should make a player like Ja'Shon garrison available for a big man.
3. Dallas - Zack Swanson PF - The Mavericks need a nice big man and Sanson is the best available. Although Swanson is facing some serious negative rumors as the draft approaches he still seems to be a top 5 spect for some scouts.
4. Portland - Bishop Daniels PG - With Devereux St. Cloud at SF and Glen Rice Jr at SG, Bishop Daniels would be a perfect fit at PG. An elite defender Daniels can come in and be a steady PG for this young up and coming team.
5. Golden State - Jared McGehee SG - Although a bit undersized, McGehee has a very balanced offensive game. McGehee can take it strong to the basket and has an improving jump shot.
6. Utah - Ulysses Limon SF - The Jazz have so much talent already they can afford to grab a superb role player here at 6. Limon could be a stud defensive player off the bench for the Jazz and add one more very talented young player on this improving team.
7. LA Lakers - Flavijus Stankevicius C - The Lakers need to add some young big men to their already supremely talented back court. Stankevicius is pretty raw but also has some nice upside.
8. Memphis - Forfeited
9. Boston - Myles Taylor PG - The Celtics need a PG pretty badly and get just what they need here in Taylor. Taylor is a super young ball handler and defender with lots of upside.
10. Cleveland - Sediq King SF - Not a star, King is more of a role player type. King should fit right in and play an important role for the rebuilding Cavs. Expect him to get 10-12 points a game and grab 6-8 boards a game as a rookie.
