*** I DID NOT TAKE FA INTO ACCOUNT. I am not familiar enough with the rosters to just name random players that are supposed to be on your rosters. I just filled in the holes.
1. Minnesota Timberwolves - Derrick Favors PF 6'10'' 246 18 B D D+ B- B- A
The Wolves recently locked up Amir Johnson for the next 5 years, but there's no doubt Favors is going to be a force to be reckon with. The Wolves could potentially take Lopez here based on need, but do they really want to skip a player who has "LeBron James" potential written all over him? I don't think so. Favors is only 18, has a very nice interior low post game and has the tools to be a special player as soon as this upcoming season. He's got the size and height to play C anyways.
2. Charlotte Hornets - Evan Turner SF 6'7'' 210 20 B- B- B- B- B- B
TOUGH TOUGH TOUGH situation for the Hornets. Projected #1, Hornets fell 1 spot and lose out on Derrick Favors. They have Biedrins and Oden at C right now but rumors has it they're moving Oden. But choosing potential all-star Brook Lopez here is unlikely. Hornets go the safe route and take the due-it-all guard/forward. Turner could come out firing right out of the gate as a ROY candidate and will have a lot of PT to do so on the Hornets roster who has no SF at the moment.
3. Seattle Sonics - Brook Lopez C 7'0'' 260 20 B+ C- D+ B C+ B
Chipper the jew jizzes his pants at the scene of Brook Lopez available at #3. This is pretty much a no brainer. They have Randolph as their future PF and Butler and Mo Williams have locked up their role on this roster. The obvious choice here is Lopez who'll replace an aging Lorenzen Wright. Lopez is arguably the most ready big man available in the draft and is labeled as the "safest" pick this year.
4. Denver Nuggets - Tyreke Evans SG 6'6'' 220 20 B C+ B C+ C A
Losing out on the sweepstakes for Favors is one thing. Dropping 2 spots is another. The Nuggets are in a process of rebuilding and they had their eyes set on Favors from day 1. The Nuggets GM has made it very clear that he'd like to move his aging backcourt so taking a backcourt player from the draft, even due to the lack of big men will not be a surprise. The Nuggets might target Love at this spot but it's going to be very tough for the Nuggets to decide a direction after losing out on such a high-profiled player in Favors.
5. Portland Trailblazers - Kevin Love PF 6'9'' 260 20 B- C B- C B+ A
Time and time again we hear the commish calling out the Blazers during lotto night. This year makes no difference. The Blazers thank draft maker Play for creating such a deep draft class and better get on his knees after tonight. The Blazers need a PF so they take the 2nd best PF available. Love has incredible hands which translates into his playmaking as well as his ability to grab rebounds. His offense is still raw but the Blazers have plenty of time.
6. Orlando Magic - Russell Westbrook PG 6'3'' 190 21 B C- C+ A C A
Another GM who needs to thank the FBB Gods. Westbrook is the best defender in the class and has potential to be one of the best ever. His outside game is very questionable so the Magic might take a look at Jennings at this slot. Many scouts have been leaning towards Westbrook cause of his ability to defend, his size and all-around game.
7. Atlanta Hawks - DeMarcus Cousins C 6'11'' 280 18 B- D D C+ B A
Tons of options for the 3-man Hawks… no, I'm serious, they literally have 3 players locked up for the upcoming season. The Hawks could go any direction at this point but Cousins has potential to be the best player in this draft. Great rebounder and size and only 18.
8. Sacramento Kings - Cole Aldrich C 6'11'' 245 20 B- C- D B- B- B
The Kings may have missed out on Cousins but Aldrich is no push over. Aldrich is more seasoned and experienced and doesn't have the ceiling as Favors or cousins but he still gets the job done. Kings have an opening at C, and Aldrich will fill that hole up.
9. Houston Rockets - Eric Gordon SG 6'4'' 215 21 B- B C C+ C- A
Gordon is the best shooter in the draft and has a knack for scoring. He has the ability to drive and take it to the rim but his mid-range game is pretty solid as well. Good size and decent defender, this allows the Rockets to move Green to SF or PF.
10. New Jersey Nets - Brandon Jennings PG 6'1'' 169 20 C+ C+ B C D A
Out of all the PGs in the class, Jennings has the highest ceiling. His ability to create for himself and others is his most-praised aspect of his game. Scouts say he has attitude problems but that won't translate when he's playing on team that's going to give him solid minutes and freedom to ball. Jennings is sometimes trigger happy so that may be a huge concern for the Nets. Not to mention he's not a very good defender. He's got incredible quickness though, and the Nets need a PG and floor general.
11. Minnesota Wolves - DeMar DeRozan SG 6'7'' 220 20 B+ C C- C+ C A
After winning the lotto and sweepstakes for Favors, the Wolves have a huge hole at SF. DeRozan may not be a natural SF but he has the size and athleticism to play there. He's most certainly built like a SF and has the game of an SF as well. He's known for his flashy dunks and ability to attack the rim at will.
12. Chicago Bulls - James Harden SG 6'5'' 218 20 C+ B- C+ C+ C- A
Joe Johnson has the size and ability to play SF so this will allow Harden to play his natural position. DSS plays PG so that isn't a problem and Yi isn't a bad prospect at PF at all. Considering the lack of talent outside of Love and Favors at PF, this is probably the wisest route for the Bulls. Harden is a good scorer and can create for his teammates. DSS-Harden-JJ at the wing is just insane… considering all 3 can handle. That's a dangerous perimeter game.
13. Houston Rockets - Jonny Flynn PG 6'0'' 196 20 B- C+ C+ C+ D A
Luckily for the Rockets, drafting Gordon at #9 won't hurt their chances at a PG. Flynn will likely still be available here and the Rockets take him to replace an unimpressive Stuckey. Flynn has the tools to be a great PG but is a project in the works.
14. Milwaukee Bucks - Terrance Williams SG 6'6'' 220 22 B C C+ B C+ B
Out of Hendo-Wayne-Terrence, Terrence looks to be the more capable SG at the moment and taking him right on the bubble fills the Bucks need at SG/SF. Williams has the size and length to play both positions and there just isn't any other players worth stretching for at this point.
15. Atlanta Hawks - Ricky Rubio - Unknown
After taking Cousins with their lotto pick, it is highly unlikely they take the falling Thabeet. Hawks aren't going anywhere any time soon so they'll risk their selection and take Ricky Rubio who will stay overseas for a while. The Hawks have nothing to lose and Rubio's ceiling is so high at the moment that it's worth the risk.
16. New Jersey Nets - Hasheem Thabeet C 7'3'' 267 22 C+ D D A- C A
The falling lotto-potential finally stops falling. Nets filled their need at PG and takes Thabeet to play alongside Blake Griffin. Thabeet's game is VERY VERY raw considering he started playing basketball at such a late stage in life but he has the size to be a very good player and potential DPOY candidate in upcoming years. Great compliment to Griffin and great value for the Nets.
17. Milwaukee Bucks - Earl Clark SF 6'10'' 225 21 C+ C+ C B+ C B
Taking Williams earlier, Clark is a nice compliment. They could take Jrue here but already have a boatload of point guards.
18. Detroit Pistons - Jrue Holiday PG 6'4'' 199 19 C+ C+ C C+ D+ A
Great value for the Pistons at this point. They have aging guards in Nash and Iverson and adding Holiday wouldn't hurt them one bit.
19. Phoenix Suns - Jordan Hill PF 6'10'' 235 22 C+ D+ D+ B- C+ A
Their spects at PF don't really look appealing. Hill has decent potential and has potential to start right away.
20. New Jersey Nets - Wayne Ellington SG 6'5'' 202 22 C B C C+ D+ B
Good shooter, has good size and could always take the back seat while Young plays SG.
21. Washington Bullets - Bryon Mullens C 7'0'' 275 20 C+ C- C- C+ C+ A
Good prospect for the Bullets. Huge project player but it's not like the Bullets are losing anything.
22. Denver Nuggets - DaJuan Summers SF 6'8'' 240 21 C+ C+ D+ C C+ B
Summers has the tools and size but hasn't got everything together yet. Nuggets have a lot of work to do and just gamble on the forward.
23. Denver Nuggets - Ty Lawson PG 5'11'' 195 22 C+ C+ B- B D B
May not have the upside as other PG but the Nuggets are looking at a 2 year rebuild so Lawson or Collison at this point is very good value.
24. Cleveland Cavaliers - Darren Collison PG 6'0'' 168 22 C B B+ B C- C
Styro is a UCLA fan and wouldn't be surprised if Collison is taken at this point of the draft.
25. Los Angeles Clippers - Gerald Henderson SG 6'5'' 215 22 C+ C+ C C D A
Good size but very raw player. Has potential to be a solid player and can score in various ways.
26. Cleveland Cavaliers - Austin Daye SF 6'11'' 200 21 C B C- C C- A
Great size, needs to put on some pounds but good project player at this point of the draft.
27. Charlotte Hornets - Tyler Hansbrough PF 6'9'' 250 24 B C- D C B- C
I'd assume the Hornets want to be some what competitive and Hansbrough can produce off the bench right away.
28. Seattle Sonics - Marcus Thornton SG 6'4'' 195 22 C A- C C D+ B
Great shooter, Sonics need one so they take one.
29. Vancouver Grizzlies - James Johnson PF 6'9'' 245 22 C+ C+ C- C+ C+ B
At this point, best player available. Has the tools to be a good PF but just needs to get everything together.
1. Minnesota Timberwolves - Derrick Favors PF 6'10'' 246 18 B D D+ B- B- A
The Wolves recently locked up Amir Johnson for the next 5 years, but there's no doubt Favors is going to be a force to be reckon with.
