1. New Orleans - Theo Finley SF
No clear cut #1 so the Hornets could go a couple different directions. Finley is a very nice 2 way player that should be a B+ B+ C A- C+ type guy. A nice piece for the Hornets to add to Jamal Branch.
2. Dallas - Leon Camby PF
Dallas has a nice young team that could use some depth. Camby should be more then just depth. A very explosive player, Camby should pair with Kareem Joffer to form one of the better big man combos in the league.
3. Seattle - Ousmane Sembene PG
Sembene is the best point guard in the draft. A lock down defender, Sembene also has the upside to develop into a very good offensive player as well.
4. Milwaukee - Austin Brock SG
Bucks need a PG or another big, but they ant pass on Brock. Brock is a big time athlete that can take it to the rim with anger. Brock and Duck will be an extremely impressive combo.
5. Toronto - Cameron Carter PF
Carter is a horrible defender, but his scoring is so good he has to go high. The Raps need another wing scorer and although Carter played PF in college some think he can make the transition to SF.
6. Boston - Thomas Edwards III C
Boston needs a nice big man to defend the basket. Edwards not only has nice defensive ability, but also work ethic to become even better. His offense may always be poor though.
7. Denver - Kristjan Hjartarsson SF
Not exactly a need, but too good to pass up here. Hjartarsson is a solid inside outside scorer with decent rebounding skills and upside. Nuggets could really use a young scorer to help Bobo and St. Cloud.
8. San Antonio - Clifford Sutton PF
Sutton is a very good scorer with nice upside. Sutton should be able to come in and give solid minutes at all the front court positions even as a rookie.
9. LA Lakers(from Golden State) - Max Bates SF
The Lakers could really use another scorer to help out Ross and Davidson. Bates is a nice inside/outside scorer who can flat out own the boards. Amazing rebounding ability for a player 6-5.
10. Minnesota - Hunter Kampmann C
The Wolves are coming off a disappointing season. With Krstic getting older, the Wolves need to think about the future, and might have their C for the next decade in Kampmann. Much more of an offensive player, Kampmann can shoot like a wing.
11. Atlanta - Broderick Kurland SF
Hawks need a little of everything. Kurland wont save the franchise, but he should be a solid player that can start at SF for them as a rookie. he's a 15 and 5 type guy at the SF spot.
12. Phoenix - Dean Grubert C
Suns get a solid center spect in Grubert who could develop into a 10-10 guy. Grubert is a solid man to man defender and defensive rebounder.
13. Houston - Deion Terpening PG
The Rockets want to have a point guard to groom for when Tony Parker retires. Terpening is a solid scorer and defender that is already an above average ball handler and distributor.
