How about taking a look at Kyrylo Fesenko with the 27th pick? A 20 year old, 7'1, 270 pound center who goes nuts in the post. I read he doesn't even look at the basket unless he's 10 feet or closer. From draftexpress.com-<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Pistons were reportedly initially hoping to draft Ukrainian big man Kyrylo Fesenko late in the 2nd round, and asked his agent to ?hide? him overseas with a 2nd round promise so no one else catches wind of him. Fesenko smartened up, though, and decided to make his way over to the States to work out for NBA teams, which likely nullifies his promise by Detroit. He reportedly measured out as a legit 7-footer in one private workout, but still looks like he has a long ways to go skill wise. He has an NBA body with long arms and great raw core strength.Fesenko?s really getting by solely on the fact that he's very athletic, plays hard, and is that much bigger than anyone else. He doesn't shy away from contact and definitely has some fight in him.</div><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>It starts with a remarkable physical/athletic profile. Not only is he a legit seven footer with a nice wingspan, and it doesn?t finish with his strong body and solid frame; Fesenko is a pretty athletic guy who actually uses his gifts with a notable level of activity. He?s a high-energy player, even if his flame diminished a little bit in the last quarter, with the game resolved and too many minutes played under his belt.In terms of skills, we?re talking about a pure inside guy, a player who doesn?t seem to look at the basket unless he?s within 10 feet of it. He doesn?t seem to consider the possibility of shooting the ball at all, even if he enjoys a wide open position. It?s also a rare feature to see him putting the ball on the floor, unless he?s evolving in the low post.</div> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Defensively, he?s again an active guy, but the kind of player who looks first for the block rather than to stop the rival with his body. That?s particularly obvious in defensive rotations. Although for the most part, he recognizes when and where to help a teammate, he doesn?t seem very willing to take charges to force offensive fouls, and goes directly for the block if he has the opportunity. In many other situations, he?s a player that never avoids contact, but he just doesn?t seem keen on being rolled over by a rival. Anyway, he enjoys solid lateral quickness, he intimidates thanks to his length and provides a nice effort.</div> Imagine him, Maxiell, and Amir all on the floor together. I'm drooling. Imagine the block/dunk/offensive rebound fest that would go on. Stash him overseas for a year or two and let him develop. Bring him over and see what he can do.
this guy is last years joel freeland just out of nowhere he comes and hes going to be a high 1st rounder
Wow I have never heard of the guy before. I love how draft prospects pop out of nowhere every year. I am definitely going to find out more about him now, that's for sure.
Sounds like a guy Joe would take at 27 for sure. Maybe we can trade him for a 2nd round pick in 2010.

He'll be a late pick in the first round if anything.I hope he can be what Jorge Garbajosa was for Toronto last year.
