Out of curiosity why do you think Indy would take Westbrook over Augustin?

Well, the first thing that comes to mind would be perimeter defense. Westbrook and Marquis Daniels could compensate for the lack of perimeter defense offered by Dunleavy, Kareem Rush, etc. This way, they could mix up the lineups and they do not need a dominant ballhandler.

The main reason though has been the rumblings that Westbrook has performed well in workouts. Couple that with Augustin measuring in under six feet and I think Westbrook could be selected ahead of Augustin.

No way Houston passes on Courtney Lee AND Chris Douglas-Roberts in favor of another PF.

Sorry.

If Speights is on the board and nobody else ridiculous drops, I see no way the Sixers don't take him (especially over Donte Greene, a position basically filled by two players).

Sorry.

Why is that? because CHuck Hayes is 6'6" and Scola is a high-energy backup? I think they'd be smart to draft a PF/C who is a solid rebounder and doesn't stink around the rim on offense.
Edit: I'm not sure the 6'8" DJ White is the answer though to their need.
