So with Phoenix's pick do you see the Sonics taking Thabeet? Or did you not know they had it?

Oops missed that one...I'll leave Thabeet there for now because it is a possibility for him to go there. I mean 1 of Sene, Petro, Thabeet has to pan out.

I like the Joe Alexander pick for the Pistons. Definitely better than Bill Walker IMO. Joe is a legit 6'8" SF who has long arms, is athletic and has gotten more and more aggressive on the offensive end. If he's around at #29, I wouldn't mind that draft pick. :D

I also love the Alexander pick but I dont see him lasting all the way to 29

I doubt Golden State doesn't go size with their pick. They have plenty of 2/3 on the roster already and they only have three legit post players and if Nelson doesn't return they will probably need four.

Greene, McGee, Robin Lopez both two high IMO.

CDR, Rush, Arthur all to low.

Due to the ages of Ilgauskas, Wallace, and Joe Smith, I think the Cavs will likely select a PF or Center in this draft. If they choose a wing it will be someone like Brandon Rush over Douglas-Roberts. I'm not sure who will be the better pro but Rush would fit likely better in the Cavs' system.

GS could go big but with Barnes and Pietrus possibly leaving in free agency they would be smart to get someone to fill that hole and grab someone like Hardin or Hendrix in the second round. Just my take.

Thanks for the other thoughts but Greene, Lopez, CDR, and Rush are about right to me, I plan on moving McGee down and Arthur up though.

DanTown's right, the Warriors are probably going for a PF/C at #14. We are probably going to resign Azubuike, we have Belinelli from last year, and Ellis/Jackson will each be taking 35 mpg at the 2/3 anyway. Getting a guy to backup the SG and SF is really not an issue.

Looking at who you have left on your board, we'd take Speights, Arthur or Thabeet over Budinger.

God, if Speights drops to 16, I will be doing cartwheels.
