Next, I don't think the Raptors will take Gay, they have 3 power fowards and two of them can play small foward. I also can see Marcus Williams going in the top 10 to maybe as high as the 3rd pick to the Hawks.

Telfair is a PG, thomas is a PF. :HAHAHA:And Rudy Gay is a SF, not PF. :HAHAHA:but gocelts, here's what i think if wrong with your list:-Minnesota won't pick Roy. He is a great player, but they are filled with guards already. They have Marcus Banks, Marco Jaric, Troy Hudon, Ricky Davis, Rashad McCants. They'll probably go for a Center.-Once again, i think O'Bryant is too high. I know he's a big body, and they need a Center, but i don't know. I don't think he's deserving of a top 10 pick.-I don't think JJ goes to the magic. They have Jameer Nelson, Keyon Dooling, Carlos Arroyo, DeShawn Stevenson, Travis Diener.-Aaron Gray, Kevin Pittsnogle, Mike Gansey, and Craig Smith are too high.-If Yi jianlian goes in the draft, he'll be much higher. he's young, athletic, and 7 feet tall. I don't think he'll slip to late first round.
I think the Golden State Warriors would jump on O'Bryant seeing as he's a big tough force in the low post, something they could really use. Orlando doesn't really have any lights out shooters, JJ could be there guy. As for Minnesota, they pick to high to go for a center, so I see them just drafting the best available. I don'r know much about Yi either, so your probably right.Also, Lud your post was whack! Do you watch the NBA?
Why is O'bryant above Sheldon????? Even if he is 6 9. I honestly dont see what is going on here. Sheldon Williams in my opinion was the best player in college basketball last year. He didnt get enough recognition because Redick was 2nd in the NCAA in scoring. Sheldon was third in the ACC in scoring, first in rebounding and 1st in blocks, and the ACC is arguably the best conference in college basketball. I bet most of you guys saw O'Bryant play only in the tournament and you are putting him at #7. That just doesnt seem right to me.
I love Shelden to, my favorite College Basketball player of all time. Some of his knocks are that he doesn't have as much upside as you would expect from a lottery pick, often finds himself in foul trouble, and won't be to much of a force on the offense end on the next level.
I agree that O'Bryant makes sense for the Warriors and I have him going to them on my website. I have a hard time seeing Redick going ahead of Ronnie Brewer who makes sense for the Magic. O'Bryant is a beast you guys, he's 7'0" 255 with long arms and he's only a sophomore this year. He goes high because of need.
you shouldn't base a pick off the players size. Him being a sophomore doesn't matter. He doesn't have a high upside just bc of his size.
What position does Cedrick Simmons play? Because I could see Marcus Williams or Rajon Rondo going to Philly. AI isn't a true point guard, and Korver can't start.

okay, then descrive to me why he is so appealing. bc no, i don't know hardly anything about him. I know that he's a small college player that came out of nowhere to play good in a few games. And i bet you've only seen him once or twice, if that. You couldn't have seen him very much at all.

Imply, don't just post.
Who starts over Korver? Is it Lee Nailon or Willie Green? Because they both can't start. Pure bench players. They are thin up front and at the point guard spot. But, CWebb has a great chance at getting injured, and Steven Hunter is an average bench player. It's hard to say.
