This one will be better, taking into consideration the team making the pick.
1) Hawks - Tanner Houbregs(C) - Need I explain?
2) Nets - Garrett Pettit(SG) - In desperate need of a guard, this is a simple decision. Pettit is a future superstar, no doubt.
3) Pistons - Emmanuel Griffin(C) Already solidly built with Nash, Rashard and Murphy, I think Pistons choose Griffin over Ferry, with the chance that Manu(
) improves in a season or two to become the better player.
4) Bulls - Bob Diddle(SG) - Not the best player available, but the Bulls are in need of a SG. Diddle should become a very good player with his strong outside shooting and defense, to go along with good potential.
5) Raptors - Lorenzo Ellis(PG) - Great all around ratings that can even improve. Fills the Raptors' void at PG.
6) Spurs - Oscar Ferry(C) - This beast of a center will be dominating inside for years to come.
7) Pacers - Mason Mercer(PG) - Pacers are in need of a PG, and this is a toss up between Mercer and Alvin Schenk. Schenk has the size advantage, but M squared is the better defender and ball handler.
8 ) Bulls - Ethan Terpening(SF) - Del Negro is a possibility here as well, but E.T. will be an excellent contributor from the start.
9) Cavs - Alvin Schenk(PG) - The third best PG in the draft with solid defense and outside shooting. Gives the Cavs some help at PG.
10) Pistons - LaDon Curry(SG) - After getting their center at #3, here they get a talented SG with good offense and handles.
11) Grizzlies - Phillip Meyers(SG) - The Grizz have a bunch of shooting guards, but they just don't cut it. If Meyers can improve his D a couple notches, he will be a good option to start at SG.
12) Knicks - Jamal Del Negro(SF) - The Knicks lack any youth with potential, but JDN changes that. Could be a real offensive force in a couple years.
13) Nuggets - Josh Parker(PG) - Boykins can't handle PG all alone. Parker would be a good addition here. Troy Havlicek is a possiblity as well, but that would be one amazingly tiny PG duo.
14) Raptors - Hayden Strickland(SF) - A tall SF with outside shooting and good potential. Would be useful off the bench.
15) Wizards - Troy Havlicek(PG) - Disregarding the height, he is a solid PG that can even be a good starter.
16) Sonics - Kyle Hobson(PF) - Seattle is basically in need of every position, with just three players on the roster. Hobson is a good pick here, with decent ratings and inside scoring.
17) Blazers - Juan Cunningham(C) - Gives Portland a solid inside presence. B potential is another plus.
18 ) Spurs - Ivan Litwick(PF) - The big man has rebounding and A potential. Not a bad pick at all.
19) Warriors - Bradley Bee(SF) - Great handles for a small forward to go along with A potential.
20) Wizards - Billy Cunningham(C) - A great rebounder is always helpful.
