Donatas Motiejunas

Bargnani clone. He'll lead us to the promise land.

Though he may be a PF, our team would convert him to a Centre so he can average 6rpg.

Cole Aldrich looks pretty good to me.

I actually like Greg Monroe, although he seems a little soft. Probably not what anyone wants to hear right about now. Seems like a more athletic Pau Gasol.

Been looking recently. Solomon Alabi, Yancy Gates, Larry Sanders, Dexter Pittman are some other names to track during the year. If you don't get all the games on TV, this guy posts the last 6 minutes of a bunch of them.: http://www.youtube.com/user/Blarghman1

I watched Soloman Alabi last night. Not liking what I've seen so far. Evan Turner out-rebounded him.

Why would need a center when we have a self proclaimed future allstar in Bargnani! I nominate AB for 1st team non-defense!

Artsiom Parakhouski

I've never heard of him but he's putting up some insane numbers: 25ppg, 16rpg, 2.5bpg. The only thing is he plays at Radford, although he did put up 23/14/3 against Duke.

Aldrich is still my choice but his numbers are a bit down this year.

this is the draft...and you don't pick according to your needs. You should pick the best player available no matter what. Let's not go down the araujo road again.

address you needs through trades and signings not the draft

Pitman has Robert Traylor written all over him. The tractor trailer is good in limited minutes, not a full game.
