Just a quick glance:
A draft very heavy on guards again (8 of top 14 are PGs). No clear cut top pick but a wide range of good prospects.

among these:
My #1: PG Roberto Brennan              C- B+ A- B C- D

#1 SG: Morgan Doleac             A- B C B- D+ C
#1 SF: Xavier Del Negro           C+ B+ C B C D
#1 PF: Dustin Kieta               B+ C D+ B- C+ B
#1 Beanpole: 7'6 Justin Bryant           B- C- D- B+ C+ A

But at least 1 dozen more guys wit one or the other speciality available, so we'll get a deep draft.

After seeing this, I'm really liking that Spurs pick.

Really liking this center crop.   Have not had too any good centers come out lately, but this past draft was decent, and the upcoming one is pretty nice, imo.

I wonder if there is a clear cut top5 ?

Brennan looks nice, but thse ratings DO NOT make him a top PG in this league, and that potential, if true, does not give him the ability to improve.

Doleac has some fantastic scoring, but again no potential. I love to draft on otential.

I guess Bryant is a number 1 pick?

#1 is not clear cut, imo. Depends upon the GM.
Doleac and Bryant are the most likely number ones.

Croshere is also a possibility, imo as well.  Kieta is a nice player, but not a number 1.
And Justin Bryant is a great possibilty as well, as long as you do not mind the terrible ball handling.

An Porter is likely an immediate 25 ppg player, with those scoring skills and that size.  Same offensive abiities as Yao right now.

barely looked at the draft, but if I had to guess right now it would be croshere, bryant or bryant.

Maybe Brennan will fall to wherever the Spurs pick will be - I wouldn't mind replacing Baron.

I think I would really consider Doleac with the first pick. A- B offense is pretty sick.

Well, Gatling has been pretty good, and that is close to what his stats are...

Yeah, but he'd have to be protected with an excellent defender at PG...Hey! Like Baron Davis! Wink

I like Porter, especially with that potential. He's big too.

And I'd consider Kieta high too.

Person is pretty nice too.

Del Negro could probably put up big numbers.

Way less A potential guys then usual.

True... but his may be the deepest draft yet.  There are some very good players to be had in ther 15-25 range, imo.

I agree. I'm really liking my future. Imagine, I still have Deng under contract, Yao under contract. Springs, Lovey, Alston too.

Draft a stud with a top pick, and get another very good role player wth a pick around 15-20. Factor about 4.5 mil between those 2 picks. Leaves me with 9.5 mil in cap space, looking at siging probably 2 yon studs with ptential, then still resign Baron/Diddle/Finley.

If I go balls to the wall, I could be a Championship team next year.

Your kidding.  There will be so many teams with cap space next year, the likelihood of signing 2 "young studs" with only 9.5 million is quite low.  Plus free agency is not filled with young players, but older players this year.
