1. Los Angeles Clippers: Blake Griffin – I'm not sure what offer might be out there but right now the best bet seems to just hold onto the pick and grab Griffin.

2. Memphis Grizzlies: Ricky Rubio – I wouldn’t expect Rubio to remain a Grizzly for long but he’s the best trade asset that is out there. Chris Wallace apparently wants Hasheem Thabeet but I think grabbing Rubio is the better play here.

3. OK City Thunder: James Harden – Harden might just be a role player but that’s what the Thunder need alongside Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant.

4. Sacramento Kings: Tyreke Evans – Evans seems to have the Type A personality that this team needs while most of this squad has the perimeter skills that would play perfectly off of Evans' skills. Hopefully, Donte Greene has been working on his game this summer because he is a huge X-Factor in the Kings’ future plans.

5. Detroit Pistons (from the Washington Wizards): Stephen Curry – The Wizards kick off the draft by agreeing to deal Antawn Jamison and Mike James to Philly for Elton Brand. Washington then adds another veteran by swapping Etan Thomas, DeShawn Stevenson, and the #5 pick for Rip Hamilton, giving the Wiz a starting lineup of: Haywood/McGee, Brand, Butler, Rip, and Arenas.

As for the Pistons, they begin their remodel by getting rid of the unhappy Hamilton and replacing him with a somewhat similar albeit shorter player.  Stuckey and Curry could be a poor man's version of Chauncey and Rip and the move also increases their 2010 payroll so that they could make a big run at a big name big man.

6. Memphis Grizzlies (from Minnesota Timberwolves): Hasheem Thabeet – When Thabeet falls to the #6 spot, the Grizz and Wolves decide to swap picks. The Wolves get Ricky Rubio and #27 while the Grizz get Thabeet, #18, #28, and Craig Smith (or Ryan Gomes). Rubio is probably a year away but he might be a great complement to Randy Foye in the backcourt.

The Grizz get Thabeet and add the #18 where they should be able to grab a power forward to fill out their frontcourt.

7. Golden State Warriors: Terrence Williams – The draft is always good for one shock and Williams might be it. He is a MAJOR risk at #7 but if the Warriors liked Corey Maggette and Stephen Jackson, they’ll LOVE Williams who has the potential to be those two players combined. He also has enough ball handling and passing skills to be a great complement to Monta Ellis. He also seems to have the kind of personality that the Bay Area would love.

The Warriors could trade the pick but I really don't see any team that would be willing to, right now, take on the deals of Corey Maggette, Stephen Jackson, or Jamal Crawford. I wouldn't be surprised if someone took that gamble (Houston could make a big move with T-Mac's expiring contract) but for now I'll have them taking T-Will.

8. New York Knicks: Brandon Jennings - Jennings was born to play in NY and I think he’s also a player that guys would love to play with, which could help the Knicks bring in some free agents in 2010. I could see D'Antoni opting for Jonny Flynn instead but I think that Jennings has the most upside. Yes, he's raw but it's not like the Knicks are actually trying to win next year.

9. Toronto Raptors: Demar DeRozan – Things come full circle. When Vince Carter wanted out, the Rapz got Chris Bosh. Now Bosh wants out, they grab a Vince Carter clone. DeRozan reminds me an awful lot of Gerald Green but I think the Raptors still go for his upside here. Once the draft closes, their focus is 100% on trying to deal Bosh and also moving Jose Calderon who really has no business being on a rebuilding team.

10. Milwaukee Bucks: Jrue Holiday – The Ramon Sessions Era in Milwaukee likely has come to a close. Holiday isn't a sure thing but he seems like the kind of point guard that Scott Skiles would love.

11. Dallas Mavericks (from New Jersey Nets): Jordan Hill – One of the rumors that seemed to be the most grounded in reality was that a) the Mavs were looking to move Josh Howard and b) wanted to move up to get Jordan Hill. I'm not completely sold on Hill as being all that great but the Mavs get their wish when Hill falls to the Nets who move Hill, Yi Jianlian, Sean Williams, Bobby Simmons, and Keyon Dooling for Josh Howard and Erick Dampier. The Nets gets the best player in the deal and also the best end of it financially as Howard and Dampier are essentially expiring deals. They also should be able to win some games this year with their Harris, Carter, Howard backcourt.

12. Atlanta Hawks (from Charlotte Bobcats):  Jonny Flynn – The Terrence Williams shock becomes an afterthought when the Hawks move Joe Johnson for Emeka Okafor, Raja Bell, and #12 pick. (The deal can't go down until June 30th when Okafor's BYC status is up) The Hawks make the move to get a big man to pair with Al Horford as well as a shot at a top young PG. Joe Johnson is an expiring deal and the Hawks don't want to risk losing him for nothing. Also, why keep together a team that seems to have a limited ceiling.

The Hawks then fill the void at SG by dealing Josh Smith and Speedy Claxton for Jason Richardson and Alando Tucker.

13. Dallas Mavericks (from Indiana Pacers): Gerald Henderson  – The Pacers drop down in the draft, moving TJ Ford, Jamaal Tinsley, and #11 for Jason Terry, Jerry Stackhouse, #22. Texan TJ Ford takes over the starting role in Dallas and Henderson fills the shooting guard spot.

14. Chicago Bulls (from Phoenix Suns): Earl Clark The Diesel is going to Chicago. Shaq might want to go to Cleveland but they really don't have anything to offer. Instead, Steve Kerr begins the Suns renovation by dealing Shaq and #14 pick for Kirk Hinrich, Luol Deng, and #16, #26. Chicago moves up to grab Earl Clark to replace Deng.

15. Detroit Pistons: BJ Mullens – The Pistons are rebuilding and decide to roll the dice on the player with the best long range potential remaining. This kid could be the next Kwame Brown but the Pistons can roll the dice since everyone else available seems to be a long shot and neither DeJuan Blair or James Johnson really seem like better investments (especially since the Pistons already have Maxiell).

16. Phoenix Suns (from Chicago): Austin Daye - Daye is, like Mullens, a pick on potential. He's weak and a step slow but he could develop into one hell of a perimeter option in the NBA. With the newly acquired Deng manning the SF spot and another pick at #26, the Suns can gamble on Daye.

17. Philadelphia 76ers: Ty Lawson - The Sixers could lose Andre Miller and if they get Lawson, they might not actually be all that interested in keeping Miller around anyway.

18. Memphis Grizzlies (from Minnesota): DeJuan Blair - The Grizz added height to their frontcourt with Thabeet and now they add girth with Blair. Getting beat up by Blair in practice could help Thabeet toughen up.

19. Atlanta Hawks: James Johnson - Johnson has apparently shown up to workouts out of shape but he's worth a shot here. He'd be a nice fit off the bench since he's a big with a decent perimeter game. 

20. Utah Jazz: Tyler Hansbrough - I still think this is a match made in heaven.

21. New Orleans Hornets: Nick Calathes - The odds are that the Hornets just sell this pick since they need money but if they keep it, they could grab Calathes who they won't have to pay right away since he's signed to play overseas for the next couple of years.

22. Indiana Pacers (from Dallas): Eric Maynor -  The Pacers drop back in the draft but still get the guy that they might have taken at 11. They should still look to re-sign Jarrett Jack but Maynor is a great insurance policy and an even better backup.

23. Sacramento Kings: Jeff Teague - Teague probably has the most upside of any remaining player and he also would be a nice backup combo guard for the Kings. He could be a nice complement to Tyreke Evans if the Kings decide to move Kevin Martin.

24. Portland Trailblazers: Victor Claver - The Blazers add to their foreign arsenal and roll the dice on Claver.

25. OKC Thunder: Jonas Jerebko - Who? I don't know but he's getting some hype now and Sam Presti always seemed to like the foreigners.

26. Phoenix Suns (from Chicago): Danny Green - A nice role player who can handle the

27. Minnesota Timberwolves (from Memphis): Sam Young - Already 24, Young is anything but. Still, he should be able to step in and get minutes immediately at the SF and also can help improve the Wolves' defense.

28. Memphis Grizzlies (from Minnesota) - Chase Budinger: The Grizz add a shooter off the bench.

29. LA Lakers: Toney Douglas - Why not?

30. Cleveland Cavaliers: Danny Green - Green is a nice role player who could be the starting shooting guard in his rookie season. Although that says more about the Cavs' current SG's than it does about Green.
