1) Atlanta Hawks (from Bulls) - Kristian Hjartarsson SF/PF B C+ C C C+ A
A hard-nosed Icelandic prospect who can play two positions and has the will to succeed. He could be the fifth consecutive international prospect selected 1st overall, which would be unheard of!
2) Toronto Raptors - Leon Camby C 6'11'' 220 21 B D+ D B+ C+ A
A hard-nosed big man who can mix it up inside, grab some boards and has great room for improvement.
3) San Antonio Spurs - Theo Finley SF 6'8'' 210 20 B- B- C+ B C- A
Finley is the next best player on the boards. An exceptionally well-rounded small forward who could become a superstar if his upside is for real.
4) New Orleans Hornets - Jorge Victoriano SG B- C+ C C+ C- A
Another top flight International prospect who is being groomed by Manu Ginobili to be the next great swingman in the game.
5) Denver Nuggets - Austin Brock SF B+ C D+ B- C A
The 19 year old hot-head lets his game do the talking. Some say that he's a time bomb, others say that he's passionate. Either way, Brock looks to make it work in the pros.
6) Dallas Mavericks - Trey Donovan PG C- B- B+ B- D- A
The Mavs look to improve their weakest position with a top flight point guard who makes up for his lack of size with his abundance of game.
7) Minnesota Timberwolves - Ivan Cann C 7'0'' 244 20 B D D A- C+ B
Cann is a 20 year old big who is a defensive marvel. The T-Wolves steal him here at the 7th overall spot.
8) Seattle Supersonics (from Hawks) - C Hunter Kampmann C+ A- D- C- B- A
There are a lot of questions surrounding Kampmann, including whether or not he will play overseas. If he does, the Sonics can afford to wait.
9) Phoenix Suns - Cameron Carter SF A- C+ C C- B- A
A very intriguing offensive prospect whose defense and lack of size at PF makes him drop this low. The Suns are pretty stacked, so they take the best player available.
10) Boston Celtics - C Thomas Edwards III C D- D+ B+ B- A
An absolute defensive juggernaut and the Celtics could use some frontcourt help. Edwards won't do any scoring, but he'll swat shots like there's no tomorrow and grab mad boards.
11) Milwaukee Bucks - C Cory Highlander - B+ B- C C C B
The Bucks need size and Highlander has that to offer. His scoring touch will be a great compliment to the already high octane Bucks offense.
12) Golden State Warriors - Carlos Ruiz SF 6'8'' 200 20 C+ A- C+ C+ C- B
Ruiz is another exceptionally well-rounded prospect who can do it all. The Warriors already have two nice wing players, but Ruiz falls to them here and they can't resist.
13) Cleveland Cavaliers - Deion Terpening PG 6'2'' 182 22 C+ C+ B+ C+ D+ B
The Cavs are in desperate need of a point guard who can score and Terpening is their best option at this spot.
