    The HS player that i think will go first out of the HS's will be Dwight Howard because he is a very versatile player. He can run the floor dunk shoot and is an explosvie player.

    Unless Chi-town picks him first, I don't see him being the first out of the high-school players being drafted, but I do see Shaun Livingston being the first of the youngsters being drafted, as there is a strong chance the Bobcats will pick him.

    I think Dwight Howard or Shaun Livinsgton will be the first highschooler picked up they are both great I like Livingston better because he's a PG and so am I but all the HYPE is with Howard. Howard has mad hops and I dont think he is NBA ready just because he has hops, he is big can score and can shoot.

    Dwight Howard. He's got a tremendous amount of upside to him and he's been projected by some people to be the #1 overall pick in the draft.

    Easily Dwight Howard. He will probably be the 1st overall pick, ahead of Emeka Okafor. The 2nd HS'er to be picked, will be Shaun Livingston, in the top 5.

    The highschoolers should go in this order

    1.Dwight Howard
    2.Shaun Livingston
    3.Sebastian Telfair
    4.Al Jefferson


    Just want to say, I've seen Livingston play,and in my opinion he isn't NBA ready, I really hope he reconsiders his decision and goes to Duke.

    Nooooo....

    You completely forgot about JR Smith, Josh Smith, and Dorrell Wright.

    1. Dwight Howard - Top 2
    2. Shaun Livingston - Top 5
    3. Josh Smith - Top 10
    4. JR Smith - Top 15
    5. Sebastian Telfair - Top 15
    6. Dorrell Wright - Top 20
    7. LeMarcus Alrdige - Middle to Late
    8. Robert Swift - Middle to Late
    9. Al Jefferson - Mid 20's

    This is just my guess of what will happen. Some teams have needs that others don't.

    Dwight Howard will of course be the #1 high school draft pick. His numbers are amazing, and he has a lot of hype for a 6'10" SF/PF. He should go to the Clippers with the #2 draft pick in the overall draft. Dwight used to be a guard, which explains why his perimeter skills are so developed. So that is why he can play more than one position. Averaging 25 points and 18 rebounds a game - he just kills the offensive scoring and the defensive boards. I can't wait to see this guy play. Too bad his team didn't win the national championship.

    Easily Dwight Howard. But Shaun Livingston will possibly a 3rd or 4th draft pick. I've seen him play and he seem pretty good. Dorrell Wright will also be someone to watch, in SLAM, they say he's the next T-Mac.

    Dwight Howard, easily.

    Here's my order of HS Players being picked:
    1. Dwight Howard
    2. Shaun Livingston
    3. Josh Smith
    4. J.R. Smith
    5. Robert Swift
    6. Sebastian Telfair
    7. Dorrell Wright
    8. Al Jefferson

    Last I heard, LaMarcus was skipping the draft, and goign to play for Texas. Maybe I was mistaken though......

    JR Smith will not be drafted before Al Jefferson, Robert Swift or Dorell Wright... JR Smith is very overrated... He has had bad workout after bad workout and has almost dropped in to the second round...

    Now back to the topic, Dwight Howard is the best high school player in this draft and probably will get picked first, but 6'6 PG in Livingston could be picked before him by the Clippers... It doesn't make Livingston a better player right now, but it is possible..
