With their recent moves I don't think Milwaukee will be looking at the wing. Rumours say they really like Sanders and I think he'd be a nice fit there. Obviously then Minnesota would take Henry (yay), but I don't know who they'd go with at 23. Personally I'd go Crawford just for that instant offence off the bench the team doesn't have.

Can I ask why Stephenson though? I know they liked him when he was there for the group workouts but 23 seems really high for him.

Milwaukee may still go wing. They need a wing shooter. Henry would fit. It will probably be Henry or Sanders at 15.

-I get the wing concern w/ Mil, but Maggette is more of a 3, & CRD is a tweener IMO of a 3 in a 2 body. I see Henry as M.Redds sucessor. I also think Henry because he is BPA. This allows them to try & use Redds expiring deal w/o leaving a hole or needing a SG in return.
-Stephenson is a kid who I've read is all over GM boards. I read 1 GM has him ranked above Henry as #2 overall talent @ SG. IMO minny knows he will likely not make it past ATL (rumor) and love his upside & size. Minny is a team setting themselves up for 2-3 yrs for now, so they have time for him to develop, + they need a shooter.

I wouldn't trust the Ford rumor. All the local guys have us taking Monroe, and I believe it. IMO the Udoh rumor is classic June Nellie misdirection. Everyone thought we were taking Jordan Hill last year until we took Curry.

[Jazzfan12]

I don't see why every mock has us taking Babbitt or Davis. I don't think there's any chance of that happening if both are on the board.

[MUpacersSIC]

Pacers take Paul George and I'd be ecstatic.

From DraftExpress' Twitter:

Utah “looking for a wing scorer who can come in and play big minutes right away.” Dead heat between Babbitt (slight edge) and Hayward.

Utah mostly draft very good.
