I'm still pretty new here, so if there is another spot for this, then just move it.
1. Clippers - Blake Griffin - The clear #1 pick. I don't see the Clippers trading the pick, but even if they did - Griffin is the #1 choice.
2. Grizzles - Ricky Rubio - Rubio will in all likelyhood go #2, even if the Grizzles decide to trade the pick, Rubio is the choice here.
3. Thunder - Hasheem Thabeet - I'm not a big Thabeet fan, but he makes sense for the Thunder.
4. Kings - Jrue Holiday - This is where it gets intersting for me. Its clear the Kings need a PG, and with Martin not being a good defender, Holiday would be a good compliment to him.
5. Wizards - Jordan Hill - I believe the Wizards will trade the pick, in which case James Harden could go #5, but as of now, Hill should be the guy.
6. Timberwolves - James Harden - I could see them going with Evans here, but I think they want the BPA. Hopefully Foye can go back to PG for them to make room for Harden, who should help out Jefferson and Love.
7. Warriors - Tyreke Evans - The Warriors need a big PG to go next to Ellis, he kills two birds with one stone as he also is appealing to Nelson because he can play wing too.
8. Knicks - Stephen Curry - Hes a D'Antoni type PG, and he is also friends with LeBron, two good reasons for the Knicks to take him.
9. Raptors - DeMar DeRozan - Bosh finally gets some athleticism on the wing. DeRozan should be the easy choice at this point.
10. Bucks - Jonny Flynn - Frankly, I think Jennings is the better choice, but the Bucks suck at drafting players and Flynn has been moving up draft boards.
11. Nets - DeJuan Blair - They got their Center with Lopez, I imagine they will want to put a bruiser next to him. I'm not a big Blair fan, and with the red flags on his knees, Hansbrough might slip into this spot.
12. Bobcats - Gerald Henderson - The Bobcats need a wing and love defense. Henderson could also reel in some local fans, should be an easy choice for them.
13. Pacers - Brandon Jennings - Honestly, I'm at the point where I don't see the Pacers keeping the pick. I can see them pulling a similar Bayless like trade, this year as well.
14. Suns - Earl Clark - I originally had Teague here as he fits the bill of their type of player. At the same time, I looked at their roster and can see the Suns hoping Clark becomes their new Marion. Its a long shot, but something they might look for.
15. Pistons - Terrence Williams - A reach at this point, but his defense might excite the Pistons. With Rip and Prince, they might go in a different direction, but they don't need a PG and everyone else will take more time than Williams.
16. Bulls - Tyler Hansbrough - His combine should move him up a lot. The Bulls are confident in Thomas for the future - but I can see them wanting a guy like Hansbrough off the bench.
17. 76ers - Jeff Teague - With Andre Miller a flight risk, a guy like Teague could come in handy. His 3 point shooting should help Philly.
18. Timberwolves - B.J. Mullens - Mullens is going to take some type to develope, but with Jefferson and Love, they can wait a few years. Mullens should be a good compliment to whoever the Wolves decide to keep down the road - if not both.
19. Hawks - Eric Maynor - Bibby might bolt and Law was a mistake, Maynor brings some defense and could eventually take over for Bibby(if they resign him).
20. Utah - James Johnson - They Jazz get a PF to replace with Boozer or Millsap - possibly both.
21. Hornets - Austin Daye - Daye slips a bit, but could be a steal at this point. Paul would be the perfect PG to put next to a guy like Daye.
22. Mavericks - Wayne Ellington - A shooter that will spread the floor for Dirk and co. I can see a PG here as well, but I'm not sure the Mavs would be sold on the ones who are left.
23. Kings - Chase Budinger - A good athlete who could train behind Nocioni.
24. Blazers - Ty Lawson - The Blazers are always a threat to trade the pick, but as of now - they go PG and Lawson is the best one left.
25. Thunder - Gani Lawal - Lawal is a potential steal at this point. If he can come through on his potential, the Thunder could have a very good solid 5 moving forward.
26. Bulls - DaJuan Summers - Bulls go BPA and Summers is it.
27. Grizzles - Darren Collison - Its likely the Grizzles will trade either Rubio or Conely, if that happens, they will want a backup PG, and Collison could be the Chalmers of this draft.
28. Timberwolves - Danny Green - Green is a do it all kinda player, has more potential than people realize.
29. Lakers - Patrick Mills - Lakers need a PG, and Mills can thrive in the right situation.
30. Cavaliers - Sam Young - The Cavs select Young hoping he can thrive in the SG position(for the future) next to LeBron.
Lemme know what ya'll think, all feedback is welcome.
