Pick three guys that fit your team in the area of where your drafting. My best picks for the Bucks in my opinion1. Greg Oden - Defensive presense, we need one badly in the paint. (if we have the first pick)2. Julian Wright - Perfect compliment, good passer, defender, athlete, doesn't need shots. (4th pick)3. Acie Law - Perfect PG, tough, clutch, might not be a Deron Williams talent but he's got 'it' (6th or higher pick).
1. Greg Oden2. Greg Oden3. Greg OdenThe Celtics need Greg Oden like someone who just took a sh*t needs toilet paper.
1: Greg Oden, he'd finally give us a true center that can dominate the paint. Amazing potential to go along with solid offensive abilities, great defensive presence, and very good work ethic.2: Al Horford, very strong paint player. He can dominate on both ends if he wants, very strong player that resembles a Elton Brand type player..3: Acie Law, our second first round pick could be used on this stud. I love the way he runs Tx. A&M, he knows when to pass and when to shoot, very crafty left hander that can create his shot, penetrate, and plays with so much passion - HUGE player in the clutch.HAWKS NEEDS: Center, Point GuardCURRENT STARTERS:Center: Zaza Pachulia - 12 ppg, 7 rpg, 2 apg, 3 orpgPoint Guard: Anthony Johnson - 5 ppg, 1 rpg, 2 apg
Of course everyone is going to say they need Oden. Who wouldn't?The Pacers have no draft picks this year unless we have one of the 10 worst records in the league. If we ended up with a top 10 pick this is what we'd need:1) Acie Law - Clutch point guard who is the opposite of Tinsley (a good thing)2) Tywon Lawson - Not since the 90s have we had a good point guard - time to get one3) Roy Hibert/Spencer Hawes - We have good centers - but no guys who are clear starters
Okay, Dallas is defanitly not a lottery team by no means, so I'm of course going to put guys that we have a chance of drafting. I think these guys are all mid to late first round picks. We might have to move up to get one of them, but I think it would be worth it.Dallas is in need of a quality back up big man and a swing wing player that can shoot.1.Tyler Hansbrough-PF2.Daequan Cook-SG3.Alando Tucker/Aaron Affalo-SF/SG I think if Alando Tucker fell to the late 1st round, someone will end up with a steal. Not going to be a star, but a quality player.

Horford!!!2. Law3. I really don't know enough to say... one of the other big me besides Oden and Horford.

That being said, I'd rather have Oden, and thats what most of the intelligent Celtics fans want.
I think just having Greg Oden, who some people say he might be the next Russel...would be freaking awesome to see him in green...even as a griz fan.

Suns need an athletic big to help with post defense and rebounding. They also need a back up point guard. Primary Targets: 1. Al Horford2. Jeff Green3. Tiago Splitter3. Alando TuckerThe Suns as it stands right now have 3 picks in this year's draft. Atlanta's pick which looks to be a 5-8 pick range can be used on either Al Horford who will be the primary target as a 6'10 athletic big who plays solid defense, is a good rebounder and can hit the mid range jumper. If he is taken by the time the Suns pick comes up they go with Jeff Green who's athleticism and versalility are perfect for the Suns system. Then they use Cleveland's pick to take the opposite of whom they drafted with Atlanta's pick I.e. if they got Horford they take Tucker, if Green then Splitter.I would like to say Acie Law but the only way they could get him is by either trading Marion or trading down in the draft neither of which is worth it. I don't see the Suns being able to package their two lower picks to move up high enough to get him. The Suns really screwed themselves over last year passing on a deep PG draft.

That's expected, but the majority of the fans are pulling for Oden over Durant. He is exactly what we need. 1. Greg Oden No explanation really needed. We don't have a true starting caliber center, Greg Oden is a legit 7 footer who dominates defensively, is very athletic, is a very good kid with a good head on his shoulders, and he is a franchise changer. 2. Kevin Durant If this happens (we get the #2 pick), then we HAVE TO become a running team. No if, and's, but's, or Doc's about it. But the kid obviously is going to be a hell of a player, a McGrady/Garnett mixture (without the great playmaking skills, however). 3. Veteran Yup, that's right. If we do not get the #1 or 2 pick, we have to trade that pick and get ourselves a veteran All-Star to help Pierce and Big Al. Package it with Ratliff's huge expiring deal, Gerald Green, maybe a future pick, and maybe another filler. But if I had to answer it for #3, assuming no trade would happen (which it would), I'd say Al Horford. A guy that can come in and just play some really solid basketball on both ends of the floor. He's a big body, he's strong, he has a solid post game, he is a very good defender, he turns it on in the clutch. Of course I'd like a guy like Al Horford next to Al Jefferson, but that's not what this team needs right now. If we don't get a true franchise changing player like Oden or Durant, we have to trade that pick.
