James Harden?

Warriors don't need DeRozan...Holiday would probably be our pick if Jennings/Evans are off the board.

What do you base that on?

We've drafted TEN guys into the NBA and only TWO of them have been UNC guys.

2nd round pick? Maybe undrafted?

-I'd cry if the Warriors took DeRozan.

-No Harden like said above.

-Absolutely love the Kings picking Chase Budinger at #23.

What exactly makes you think that the Wolves are looking for the most NBA ready player available. Do you think they'll be competing for the playoffs next year (keep in mind that Big Al will likely be out for a large chunk of the year)?

Even then, if they're just looking for a piece that fits with their core, they'd be much better off going with someone with size, defense, and athleticism (DeRozan and Holiday being the obvious choices) over another undersized, unathletic Shooting Guard.

I think Ellington at 12 is too high--he has not done anything individually to set himself apart from the competition. Derozan to the Warriors doesn't make much sense either (IMO)--and the Jazz would never pass on Teague for Hansbrough. Teague has a legitimate shot at being a 'star' or at least very good complimentary player (ala Jason Terry) on the right team. Hansbrough would just be a stop-gap till we drafted a power forward with New York's pick. 24 is also too low for Lawson (again IMO). The rest looks fairly solid other than the exclusion of Harden.
