1. Portland TrailBlazers - Greg Oden - I think they will regret this selection until they finally win a championship with him. With Durant so close in proximity, their fates and futures will forever be tied together and I think Durant will come out the blocks faster

2. Seattle Sonics - Kevin Durant - Should win ROY. He is going to be one of the era defining players along with LeBron, Oden, Dwight Howard and Yi Jianlian.

3. Atlanta Hawks - Al Horford - I think that somehow they get the Amare deal done and Minnesota will take Horford in this spot to go with Foye and Craig Smith. If Atlanta picks here then the selection will be Yi Jianlian.

4. Memphis Grizzlies - Mike Conley Jr. - My guess is this is going to be the Grizzlies pick regardless of what happens at 3. I think they have a planned formed to get Pau some veteran interior help in the free agent market ( Darko, Verajao) or they will go ultra uptempo with Rudy gay at PF and go hard after Rashard Lewis.

5. Boston Celtics - Yi Jianlian - If he is available, they pick him due to talent, need, and marketability. It would be hard for any owner to pass over this revenue stream and the cheapskates in Boston certainly will pick Yi.

6. Milwaukee Bucks - Jeff Green - At this point, I think they would be very open to dealing this pick. They would love to select Brandan Wright here but this team needs to get back to the playoffs and Bobby Simmons is a question mark.

7. Minnesota Timberwolves - Brandan Wright - They have plenty of time to wait on him to develop. They can offer him playing time and no pressure of performing if KG is dealt.

8. Charlotte Bobcats - Joakim Noah - I expect the Memphis Grizzlies to jump up here for Joakim Noah. They are absolutely in love with him and his energy. He is charismatic, athletic and productive.

9. Chicago Bulls - Corey Brewer - Some will say he is not a position of need. However, in a conference with LeBron and D Wade, I think Skiles will find him useful. Also allows them to deal Ben Gordon for some interior help.

10. Sacramento Kings - Acie Law IV - Mike Bibby will be moved along with Ron Artest as SacTown begins the long process of rebuilding.

11. Atlanta Hawks - Thaddeus Young - Yes, BK does it again but he is the best available long term prospect. They will trade for a veteran PG and take a lot of heat until they make the trade. If Minnesota has this pick, it will be Hawes.

12. Philadelphia 76ers - Javaris Crittenton - With Andre Miller there, he will not be expected to perform immediately and can learn from Miller.

13. New Orleans Hornets - Rodney Stuckey - The Hornets went big last year and Stuckey will allow them to play Paul off the ball some and is a much more aggressive scorer than Nick Young.

14. Los Angeles Clippers - Nick Young - The Clippers get local product Young to help their aging backcourt. They would have loved to get a PG here but they were all snatched up.

15. Detroit Pistons - Al Thornton - Get an athletic freak that can produce right off the bat. Not much upside but the Pistons are trying to sneak in another ring before the door closes on them.

16. Washington Wizards - Sean Williams - In bad need of some athleticism on the frontline. They take a risk but the Wizards are a close bunch save for the soon to be departed Haywood.

17. New Jersey Nets - Julian Wright - The fall stops here. The Nets are heart broken that Williams went a pick ahead.

18. Golden State Warriors - Tiago Splitter - The Warriors can afford to wait a year on him.

19. Los Angeles Lakers - Morris Almond - Kobe gets some help but is it enough to make him happy? Doubtful.

20. Miami Heat - Rudy Fernandez - The Heat take a player they think they can entice to come over and play. He has professional experience and should be able to help immediately.

21. Philadelphia 76ers. - Spencer Hawes - The sweating in the green room is now over. Philly can't believe their luck in getting a good compliment to Dalembert.

22. Charlotte Bobcats - Daequan Cook - In two years, Adam Morrison will be this kids backup.

23. New York Knicks - Wilson Chandler - Whatever. He will probably be pretty damn decent.

24. Phoenix Suns - Petteri Koponen - They won't leave him in Europe either.

25. Utah Jazz - Jason Smith - Perfect backup for Okur and Boozer. Gives them another interior presence off the bench.

26. Houston Rockets - Nick Fazekas - Good rebounder, capable of spreading the court with his deft shooting touch. Could be the best shooter in the draft.

27. Detroit Pistons - Taurean Green - A very capable backup for Chauncey Billups who should be able to fill the role as backup perfectly.

28. San Antonio Spurs - Josh McRoberts -The Spurs get an absolute steal right here.

29. Phoenix Suns - Jared Dudley - If the Suns keep this pick, they get a player that can spell their main guys during the regular season.

30. Philadelphia 76ers - Derrick Byars - They need some help now. This will be one of the quickest rebuilds ever. Good nucleus that just needs AI2 to explode into an All Star.
