A 5-foot-11 PG for NJ with Harris and M. Williams already on this team ? Reason ?

And Mavs don't have a Pick thats anothers Nets pick.

If Westbrook and DJ are gone there is no way that Love or
Thabeet gets by the Pacers. :noway:

I think Clippers take Mayo over Gordon. Great LA draw and more upside.

Agreed with Serpo, there is absolutely no way the Nets draft Augustin. Any of your next 4 picks (Randolph, Gallinari, Love or Arthur) make way more sense.

Don't see the Cats taking Westbrook when we already have J-Rich playing pretty well. If it shakes down that way in the first 7 picks I think we'd take Augustine or Love.

Suns own the Hawks pick and unless a can't miss PG is on board they'll draft a big man like McGee or maybe Thabeet.

Kyle Weaver should be in the first round I think, but I just forgot about him until today.

Donte Greene will go far higher than that IMO. The Warriors might take him #14 if he's still there but I like the Arthur pick as well.

Raptors will not let either Batum or Greene slip past them.
