Of the two, Deng is believed to be the more coveted player come draft day. It is believed around the league Childress would be available if the Wizards stand pat with the No. 5 pick. </div> Washington Post <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"There is a guy I love in the draft and I don't know if he will be there [at No. 9]," King said. "I have seen him work out a couple of times and have seen him play in college, and I think he will be a very good player." King later indicated that the player is from the East, which really limits the group. For instance, two college players from the East who likely won't be available at No. 9 are University of Connecticut power forward Emeka Okafor, expected to be the first or second pick, and Duke freshman forward Luol Deng, who is projected to go as high as No. 3.</div> King wants to move up in Draft <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">There is a player in next week's NBA draft that 76ers president and general manager Billy King said he covets so much that he's trying to make a deal in order to move up and get him. King wouldn't identify the player. But he did drop a few hints indicating that it could be Duke forward Luol Deng. </div> <a href="http://www.delawareonline.com/newsjournal/sports/2004/06/1776ersbosseyesaf.html" target="_blank">76ers boss eyes a fellow Blue Devil </a>
