Assumtions:
1. This is a weak draft
2. Many of the NCAA prospects withdraw because of potential lockout
3. Many Euro players enter the draft because the draft is weak
4. Top 2 picks (consensus) are from NCAA

Idea:
Why not take the best Euro player at #3 since this draft is "Eurostrong"?

That's why I've changed my picks.
My favourite Euro is Valanciunas (though Locke doesn't like him). He plays pick&roll very well, he's long and he has REALLY SOFT hands. It should translate to the NBA. I would consider Kanter but in my opinion by not playing he took a few steps back.

So my picks are:
#3 - Jonas Valanciunas
#12 - Donatas Motiejunas
"Lithuanian double punch" :D

Honestly the idea of a Favors/Kanter frontline makes me hard. But with all the big's in place I don;t know that Kanter makes any sense for you guys.

Knight/kanter and burks/motiejunas

Any combo of those guys and I'll be thrilled.

I don't quite see the euro heavy label on this draft. Kanter, Vesely, Val, and DoMo are the cream of the euro crop and there are maybe one or two more euros projected first round. Seems typical to me. It does however seem to be a roleplayer heavy draft. Just take the player that fits the system best. My bet is the best player in this class doesn't even go top 5. Possibly not even top 10. Am I talking about The Jimmer... no, I'm not.
