At this rate the odds are 2:6 or 1:3 that one of them will be there.

I expect NJ will pick Lopez.

Hibbert will be there when the Wizards pick is my guess.

I like that pick for the CharBobs. Bayless is a bigger scorer, but they needed a real PG, and Augustine is much better right now.

There goes Lopez, dude looks pissed.

Anyway, most mock drafts have the Pacers taking Anthony Randolph here.

Brook reminds me of Brad Daugherty. Indeed a steal at #10.

Hibbert will be either a 76er or Raptor. Count on it.

The Nets have a nice young core with Brook Lopez, Yi & Devin Harris. Now they just need to move Vince. Their doing a nice job of rebuilding on the fly.

Raps have no pick.

So the Marc calls the Nets fragile, then he mentions Yi as an improvement. Yi is as soft as charmin.

Agreed. the Bobcats really needed an upgrade over Felton. Felton has been a real dissapointment.

NJ is tanking....doing whatever it can to get LeBron in 2010!!

WoW,,,Indiana took Bayless.....didn't see that one coming, with them just getting TJ Ford and having Tinsley and Diener.

Man, Indiana upgraded their backcourt big time. Bayless is a steal at #11.

Nets seem to have a surplus of young bigs. I'm guessing Sean Williams is available.

Too many freshmen selected so far.

The bottom half of the first round is almost sure to have a top-5 or top-10 talent.

The second round, if this trend keeps up, will contain better players than some already selected.

Courtney Lee, Richard Hendrix, and even Roy Hibbert can step in and play as well as guys previously selected.

Bayless with Ford and Tinsley on the roster is strange. Diener even played decently for them. I'm thinkning Bayless plays a lot of SG.
