I think it would be more fun to do a full first round (easier to have only one winner)...but I'm in considering I suggested it in the contest thread :rock:

I feel we should just do the lottery picks. the 20t pick seems kind of like a weird number to go to. just doing the lottery picks just make more sense</div>LOL anybody think we should do this instead???

I'm In.I can't PM you so here is my Top 20:<span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:100%"><u>1st Round</u></span>David Stern:<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>With the 1st pick in the 2006 NBA Draft the Toronto Raptors select..... Andrea Bargnani, F, Italy.</div>[1].--------|Andrea Bargnani, F, Italy|--------<u>Also could be considered:</u> LaMarcus Aldridge, PF/C, TexasWhy? - With the Raptors being a running team Bargnani would seem to fit right in with Bosh and Villanueva. Bargnani is also a favorite of GM Bryan Colangelo.[2].The Chicago Bulls select...--------|Tyrus Thomas, F, LSU|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> LaMarcus Aldridge, PF/C, Texas<u>If the fall:</u> Andrea Bargnani, F/C, ItalyWhy? - The Bulls really lack a big man down low with the athletic ability that Thomas possess. He also fills a gaping hole with his scoring down low.[3].The Charlotte Bobcats select...--------|Adam Morrison, F, Gonzaga|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> Rudy Gay, F, UCONN<u>If they fall:</u> Andrea Bargnani, F, ItalyWhy? - The Bobcats fill a huge need here with a wing scorer. Morrison should fit right in with his winning attitude, and will undoubtedley help the franchise with ticket sales.[4].The Portland Trailblazers select...--------|LaMarcus Aldridge, F/C, Texas|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> Rudy Gay, F, UCONN<u>If they fall:</u> Adam Morrison or Tyrus ThomasWhy? At this point Aldridge is BPA. You can’t pass up a talented big man to pair Zach Randolph or Joel Pryzbilla with.[5].The Atlanta Hawks select...--------|Marcus Williams, PG, UCONN|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> Randy Foye, G, Villanova<u>If they fall:</u> LaMarcus Aldridge, F/C, TexasWhy? The Hawks #1 need is a PG who can take pressure off of Joe Johnson. Hawks get their man in Williams who is the true PG they need and can hopefully make up for them passing on Paul last year.[6].The Minnesota Timberwolves select...--------|Rudy Gay, F, UCONN|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> Randy Foye or Brandon Roy<u>If they fall:</u> LaMarcus Aldridge or Tyrus ThomasWhy? With KG wanting to win now the Wolves need to draft an impact player. Gay has the type of talent to be a star in the league, and at this point you can’t pass him up.[7].The Boston Celtics select...--------|Randy Foye, G, Villanova|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> Brandon Roy, G, Washington<u>If they fall:</u> Marcus Williams, PG, UCONNWhy? Even though Foye isn’t a true PG that the Celts want Foye could certainly fill that role. His toughness, perimeter defense, and ability to get to the rim should take some pressure of Wally and Pierce.[8].The Houston Rockets select...--------|Brandon Roy, G, Washington|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> Ronnie Brewer or Shelden Williams<u>If they fall:</u> Rudy Gay, F, UCONNWhy? With TMAC and Yao carrying the load, the Rockets need to find a 3rd option to compliment them. Roy gives them a consistent 3rd option and should help out on defense by taking some of the load off of McGrady.[9].The Golden State Warriors select...--------|Patrick O’Bryant, C, Bradley|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> Ronnie Brewer or Shelden Williams<u>If they fall:</u> Rudy Gay, F, UCONNWhy? Even though the Warriors have drafted big men the past 2 drafts, O’Bryant is just too good of a prospect to pass up. O’Bryant is only 20 and could make a scary pair with Jason Richardson.[10].The Seattle Sonics select...--------|Ronnie Brewer, G/F, Arkansas|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> Shelden Williams, PF/C, Duke<u>If they fall:</u> Rudy Gay, F, UCONNWhy? With Ray Allen aging and Rashard Lewis in a contract year, it would be smart to start grooming a wing player to take over. Brewer would make a good compliment to either Lewis or Allen and could make an immediate impact coming off the bench for the Sonics with his versatility.[11].The Orlando Magic select...--------|Rodney Carney, G/F, Memphis|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> JJ Reddick, G, Duke<u>If they fall:</u> Ronnie Brewer, G/F, ArkansasWhy? The SG spot in the Magic’s lineup is a gaping hole. Stevenson was serviceable last year but isn’t the long-term solution. In drafting Carney, they find a legit 3rd scorer to go along with Nelson and Howard. [12].The NO/OK Hornets select...--------|Shelden Williams, PF/C, Duke|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> Cedric Simmons, PF/C, North Carolina State<u>If they fall:</u> Rodney Carney or Ronnie BrewerWhy? With PJ Brown aging the Hornets need some toughness and defense down low. Williams is an all-around good defensive player and would compliment David West well.[13].The Philadelphia 76'ers select...--------|Rajon Rondo, PG, Kentucky|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> Cedric Simmons, PF/C, North Carolina State<u>If they fall:</u> Rodney Carney or Shelden WilliamsWhy? With Philly being one of the worst defensive teams in the league last year, they need to find some defensive players in the draft. Rondo fits the description and would be a great guard to compliment AI.[14].The Utah Jazz select...--------|JJ Redick, G, Duke|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> Saer Sene, C, Senegal<u>If they fall:</u> Rodney Carney, G/F, MemphisWhy? Just like the Magic, the Jazz are seeking to fill their 2 guard slot via draft. With Reddick still being on the board, I don’t see how they can pass on him with him filling a 2 big needs [SG and outside shooting].[15].The NO/OK Hornets select...--------|Maurice Ager, G, Michigan State|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> Thabo Sefolosha, G, Switzerland<u>If they fall:</u> Rodney Carney, G/F, MemphisWhy? With the Hornets taking care of their need down-low, they will probably take a look to find a running mate for Chris Paul. Mo Ager would fit right in with the run-and–gun offense and would benefit from the drive & kick opportunities. He is also the 2 way player that Byron Scott likes.[16].The Chicago Bulls select...--------|Thabo Sefolosha, G, Switzerland|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> Cedric Simmons or Mardy Collins<u>If they fall:</u> Shelden Williams, F/C, DukeWhy? With already taking care of the PF slot, the Bulls need to address their SG problem. By taking Sefolosha, it would give the Bulls a big, physical 2 guard.[17].The Indiana Pacers select...--------|Cedric Simmons, F/C, North Carolina State|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> Hilton Armstrong, PF/C, UCONN<u>If they fall:</u> Rajon Rondo, PG, KentuckyWhy? With Simmons falling so far in the draft, the Pacers have to take the BPA. Although Simmons is BPA, he also fills a need for a big man that can block shots and score some.[18].The Washington Wizards select...--------|Mardy Collins, G, Temple|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> Saer Sene or Hilton Armstrong<u>If they fall:</u> Cedric Simmons, PF/C, UCONNWhy? With already having one of the best scoring teams in the league the Wiz need to get better defensively. With Jeffries maybe leaving via FA, Collins would be a great insurance policy with his versatility offensively and defensively.[19].The Sacramento Kings select...--------|Hilton Armstrong, C, UCONN|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> Saer Sene, C, Sengal<u>If they fall:</u> Mardy Collins, G, TempleWhy? The Kings sorely missed a shot-blocker down low last year. With already having good perimeter defenders, the Kings snag a missing piece to their puzzle to help them compete for the Finals.[20].The New York Knicks select...--------|Saer Sene, C, Senegal|--------<u>Also could be considered here:</u> Kyle Lowry, PG, Villanova<u>If they fall:</u> Cedric Simmons or Mardy CollinsWhy? With Sene falling this far, the Knicks can’t pass up his potential and athleticism. Sene would give the Knicks a presence down-low who can alter shots; Something they were hoping for Jerome James to do.
Smooth thats exactly how I think it will be. But Im not ure the Bobcats will get Morrison because they already have Okafor.
