This next pick is tough. There are a lot of guys on about the same level. I'll take... 11. Slavk- eh, not yet. 11. Zaza Pachulia Based on age and position.
I wouldn't take Milicic in a WNBA draft. Although, he did come up big last night with 2 points and 3 rebounds against the Hornets... 13) T.J. Ford
What GM in his right mind would take TJ Ford in a draft right now?? There's a good chance he's retired.
I still like Darko, he is definetly not a lottery pick but if he wasn't a victim of Larry Brown he would be a lot better off right now.

Sean May, now you can make a case for us now knowing that he's just not durable and injury prone, but Ford's injury was situational. Had he been drafted by another team, say #13 to Memphis, the neck injury most likely would have never happened. For example, GM3's logic on Darko Milicic, which I can respect, is that without Larry Brown coaching his early years, he would have developed differently. This theoretical draft puts players in different circumstances than the ones they found themselves in. If that's the case, Ford's not an inherently injury-prone player, like May could be considered, and therefore could be considered as a healthy prospect with another team.
It's, if you held the draft again right now, knowing what you know about all these players, where would you take each player? Ford is an UFA.
Are we taking teams into account at least a little bit? I think that'd be better than just ranking the players. That really wouldn't be a draft re-do. 1. Cleveland Cavaliers - LeBron James 2. Detroit Pistons - Dwyane Wade 3. Denver Nuggets - Carmelo Anthony 4. Toronto Raptors - Chris Bosh 5. Miami Heat - Josh Howard 6. Los Angeles Clippers - Chris Kaman 7. Chicago Bulls - David West 8. Milwaukee Bucks - Leandro Barbosa 9. New York Knicks - Kirk Hinrich 10. Washington Wizards - Mo Williams 11. Golden State Warriors - Zaza Pachulia 12. Seattle Sonics - Darko Milicic 13. Boston Celtics (via Memphis) - T.J. Ford 14. Seattle Sonics - Nick Collison 15. Orlando Magic - 16. Memphis Grizzlies (via Boston) - 17. Phoenix Suns - 18. New Orleans Hornets - 19. Utah Jazz - 20. Memphis Grizzlies (via Boston) - 21. Atlanta Hawks - 22. New Jersey Nets - 23. Portland Trail Blazers - 24. Los Angeles Lakers - 25. Detroit Pistons - 26. Minnesota Timberwolves - 27. Boston Celtics (via Memphis) - 28. San Antonio Spurs - 29. Dallas Mavericks -
