Pick Team Player Position College
Reason
1. Wizards- John Wall PG Kentucky
Wall’s expectations are sky-high after his one season at Kentucky
2. Sixers- Evan Turner PG Ohio State
At 6’7”, Turner can do it all on the offensive end
3. Nets- Derrick Favors PF Georgia Tech
With an Amare Stoudemire-esque style of play, Favors will compliment Brook Lopez well
4. T’Wolves- Wesley Johnson SF Syracuse
Johnson’s athleticism is too outstanding to pass on
5. Kings- Greg Monroe PF Georgetown
Monroe ’s versatility will fit in well with last year’s ROY, Tyreke Evans
6. Warriors- Demarcus Cousins PF Kentucky
The big-bruiser will bring back the toughness needed in Golden State
7. Pistons- Ekpe Udoh PF Baylor
The Pistons need a defensive presence, and Udoh is just the man
8. Clippers- Al-Farouq Aminu SF Wake Forest
The 6’8” swingman will gel with the Clippers’ core players
9. Jazz- Xavier Henry SG Kansas
Henry has an NBA-ready build and an incredible scorers mentality
10. Pacers- Ed Davis PF North Carolina
Between Danny Granger and Roy Hibbert, Davis is next inline to break-through in Indiana
11. Hornets- Cole Aldrich PF Kansas
Chris Paul is done with losing and Aldrich has proven his ability to win
12. Grizzlies- Paul George SF Fresno State
George will add a new dimension to the Grizzlies already lethal offense
13. Raptors- Patrick Patterson PF Kentucky
With or without Chris Bosh, Patterson will be an impact in Toronto
14. Rockets- James Anderson SG Oklahoma State
Anderson ’s pure ability to score will land him with a young , talented group in Houston
15. Bucks- Luke Babbit SF/PF Nevada
Babbit’s 6’9” frame combined with his versatility is impressive
16. T’Wolves- Damion James SF Texas
The high-energy James will add toughness to the Timberwolves
17. Bulls- Larry Sanders PF VCU
Teamed with Derrick Rose, Sanders will be effective on the fast break
18. Heat- Avery Bradley PG Texas
Avery’s quickness and athleticism will go well with Dwayne Wade
19. Celtics- Soloman Alabi C Florida State
A threat on the defensive end, Alabi will add fresh legs to an aging Celtics team
20. Spurs- Hassan Whiteside C Marshall
Tim Duncan is in need of a wingman in the post, Whiteside could just be that man
21. Thunder- Jarvis Varnado PF Mississippi State
The Thunder will once again add a young stud with a lot of athleticism
22. Blazers- Ganai Lawal PF Georgia Tech
Lawal will give the Blazers a much needed presence in the paint
23. T’Wolves- Daniel Orton PF Kentucky
Orton is a 6’10” forward who brings his all each and every possession
24. Hawks- Elliot Williams SG Memphis
The smooth lefty may be taking Joe Johnson’s spot upon free-agency
25. Grizzlies- Eric Bledsoe PG Kentucky
In need of a starting pg, Bledsoe has what it takes to be an effective starter
26. Thunder- Devin Ebanks G/F West Virginia
Ebanks length and intangibles will fit right in with the Thunder
27. Nets- Lance Stephenson SG Cincinnati
The New York City native will bring his tough scoring mentality across the bridge to New Jersey
28. Grizzlies- Samardo Samuels PF Louisville
Samuels will add toughness and strength to the Grizzlies front-court
29. Magic- Craig Brackins PF Iowa State
Brackins and all-star Dwight Howard will form a brick wall down-low
30. Wizards- Quincy Pondexter SF Washington
At 6’7”, Pondexter’s ceiling is incredibly high
