1 - Washington Wizards - John Wall
in my opinion.. i really believe that down the line, the wizards will trade gilbert arenas. wizards cleaned house this past season. their core just got younger by trading out c. butler and a. jamison.. if you think this young team can win with just gilbert arenas you're wrong. john wall deserves to be the #1 pick no matter what team won the lottery. with this young core.... and john wall.. i dont see how they can coexist.. maybe dump arenas to the 2.. but lets face it.. both of these guys need the ball to be affective.
2 - Philadelphia 76ers - Evan Turner
i think this makes the most sense. they just traded dalembert so yea theyre missing a piece of defense. but the next best center in the draft is demarcus cousins, and for a young team.. i dont think hes right for its mentality. sources say hes got off-court issues.. and his attitude might be a problem. sixers need to add to its offense anyway. evan turner has proved to be an all-around type of player.. his ballhandling skills are up to point guard level.. soo moving the offense will be smoother.
3 - New Jersey Nets - Derrick Favors
people are saying this is a tough one for them.. but i think its a blessing in surprise.. if they WERE the #1 pick.. it would be tough to play john wall and devin harris without truly giving devin harris a run as the franchise player. really.. they would be in the wizards shoes right now. but since theyre #3, derrick favors is the best fit, best choice, and best prospect available. this is a young team. and they have a VERY promising young core. derrick favors has a lot of upside.. so it would be fine if he didnt start right away.. but the future would be harris, lee, t.will, FAVORS, lopez. lopez has become quite the offensive weapon lately.. and to pair him with an athletic defensive beast would make this a frontcourt duo to look out for in the future.
4 - Minnesota Timberwolves - Demarcus Cousins
al jefferson is their franchise player.. and to be honest.. hes not a center. he shouldnt be playing it. hes a natural 4. and when hes the 5 and love is the 4.. theyre very undersized.. yea i know they still prove to be effective rebounding wise.. but defensively it doesn't make much sense. to immediately make your franchise play better.. u need to put him in the right position. they could draft a wing player.. brewer came alive in the second half of the season.. but for the most part he is a question mark. wes johnson is a choice here too cuz he can run jump and shoot with the best of them.. but like i said.. big al should be built around.. sooo first things first.. get a decent center.
5 - Sacramento Kings - Wesley Johnson
this is a tough one.. they could use some pg help.. they just traded for dalembert but hes only got one year left on his contract.. soo if they want some insurance.. they should probably get a center just in case he doesnt work out or decides to bolt after a year. but after john wall.. the pg outlook isn't very pretty.. the best choice would be to go with the best player available (which is wesley) and try to make moves for a point guard. they need to build around tyreke evans. and he proved to be more effective at the 2. so a wingmate with wesley johnsons skills might not be a bad idea. draft johnson and then make moves for veteran help at the 1 and 5 positions.
