Thanks for making this Ron. I'll go with McGee.

I'll go with Arthur here. Its between Arthur and Batum at this point for me, but I'll go with the guy I have seen more of.

No problem. I can see Arthur here, but I think it's a reach for Batum. I think this is pretty low for McGee, too, which is why I picked him.

I'm not very high on McGee...at all.

I will go Alexander again. Too good and too much potential to pass up.

I can't believe some of you guys would rather have Alexander over these other guys. Where would Alexander get minutes on this team? Ahead of Granger, Dunleavy, or Williams?

I'm going with Kosta Koufos. With his size and offensive skills well beyond his years, he's too good of a deal to pass up here.

Alexander is an unbelievable talent, while he may not get time this year, I think he will probably be better than Dunleavy and Williams in a year or two. Everyone is saying he is the most athletic person in the draft.

Again, I couldnt agree less. Alexander may be the most athletic person in the draft, but once he gets in game situations, his shooting goes way south. I dont think he will ever match Dunleavy's production from this past season, let alone in a year or two. Williams? The jury is still out on him, but I'd rather have him over Alexander.

I liken Alexander to Fred Jones. He looks like he'd be a pretty good role player, maybe even win a 6th man of the year award, I just can't see him being of much use as a starter. I think he'll go around #20 unless someone decides to really reach like we pretty much did for Jones at #14.

Other--Chris Douglas-Roberts.

For second choice, I'm tempted to go with Arthur, but PacersRule has persuaded me to take a flyer on Koufos so I'll go with him. Maybe Koufos can be somewhat Smits-like. We could sure use a center, I'm not completely sold on Arthur being all that good in the pros, and McGee is just too big a project for the Pacers to take on IMO.
