    Im predicting we will get the number 3 pick.

    1st Round: A SF. That is our weakest link. We need a SF that can hit the outside shot and/or drive to the hoop. Stackhouse was too tentative this year, he couldnt hit the 3 and hesitated to get to the hoop. Jarvis Hayes is not a SF, he was dominated by everyone bigger than him, he should be playing the SG behind Hughes, although word has hit that Jarvis has already hit the weights and is on a stricter diet. Luol Deng would be ideal for us, but if for some reason he isnt there at the 3 spot, or we get a lower pick and he is selected before we pick, I wouldnt mind trading away our pick for someone like Rashard Lewis or Al Harrington, or even trading down in the draft for someone like Hakim Warrick.

    2nd round A big man. Etan Thomas most likely wont be back this off-season, he is a RFA and someone will sign him for too much money and we wont match the offer because that is the way thins work in Wiz land. So a big man would be a nice addition to back up Haywood and/or Kwame here.

    I will post my 3rd round ideal pick later.

    1st Round: Hakim Warrick just pulled his name out of the draft, so that plan is gone.
    I like the idea of drafting Luol Deng if we get the 3rd pick, but if he's not available, we should look at Rashard Lewis, the problem is that Rashard is a bad defender and he's said to have maxed in his development, but we have other young guys that can be the stars and he can just be the guy that gives us 18 and 7 and can shoot.

    2nd Round: I also agree that Etan will likely be gone, so if he is we need to look at getting a big man to come off the bench for Kwame and Haywood because Lattener should be gone.

    R u serious Hackim pulled out.Damn man wats wrong wit dat ***** i thought we were gonna pick him up.ANYWAY.

    1ST ROUND:Nah man we dont need a small forward we need a powerforward to replace the inconsistent Kwame Brown.U know someone like Okafor or deng and move them up to pf and put brown on the bench then when Kwame finally realises he aint an automatic pick in the lineup he is gonna come to his senses and start playin like a true number 1 pick and replace either deng or okafor in the starters.

    2ND ROUND:No smallforwards too much already mayebe a center so dat when etan leaves they can be a backup fo Haywood.Maybe someone like aaah........hey yo man **** this this is the list for the 1st round picks.maybe.

    Wrong topic to start with me buddy lol, I am a huge Kwame fan..and he was consistent all year this year, he looks like the budding star we thought we would get when we drafted, and he is key to this team. When we give him the ball we win, when we dont we lose.
    What are you talking about we dont need a small forward?!?! Did you see Stackhouse play this year, he was horrendous, his team chemistry was goen, he never looked to pass. Luol Deng would be the perfect addition to htis team, he would be another young guy with loads of potential.
