Redick would be a good compliment to Chris Paul in the backcourt! The guys from the ACC would be reunited to form a tantilizing tandem.\nPaul can drive to the hoop and create for J.J. Redick's lethal outside shooting.

Dude they just lost to the lowly hawks last night. Go figure. The Magic ain't contending this year that's for sure. \n\nBut there is no stopping dwight howard. that kid is fast becoming an unstoppable force and he will be the next big thing, no doubt. just give him another year and a better supporting cast for him and the magic to make some noise in the east.

I agree the Mavericks are young and talented they are going to be there every year for quite some time...I would look at Cleveland as possibly being on the upside they are a young team...thye could use a player or two and alot depends on the off season...

The bulls need size all over the team, not just at center position. They don't want another Chandler (size w/o offense) whose characteristics many of the tall guys in this draft seem to share with him.\n\nSo they should pick Ronnie Brewer who would play shooting guard, adding size to that position and thereby helping to distribute size more evenly across more positions.

I love PJ. Who doesn't like this guy? Here's the deal. PJ is great but he is not a true center. He has played out of position for almost 2 years now and the hornets need a younger starting Center. It's a very tough decision to make. The team will lose a lot if they trade him because he is the heart and soul of this team and he does play hard every game and is the role model that the younger players need to have. He also knows the system and can help the new players learn it faster. If the Hornets can get a center for brown and jr smith I saw do it. I'm not too hot on Tyson Chandler from the bulls but that's who I think they are after. I want someone like Diop or Dampier from the Mavericks. Brown can't be the hornets starting center anymore. It's just not practical. He needs to be a backup yet the rookies aren't ready to start so a trade makes sense. Also, remember Brown's in the last year of his contract which pays him 8mil, the hornets need to free up some cap space for the new free agents: Peja, Bobby Jackson, etc. If I were the GM I would sign speedy to a 5 million one year contract and trade him and PJ Brown to the Pistons for Ben Wallace. A sign and trade would be smart in this situation. The pistons might do that. They like speedy. Who knows.\n\nAll I know is,\nI don't want to see them part ways but I just think it's time. Brown deserves to go to a championship team. I want to see him win a title before he retires. The man deserves it.

I think the Lakers will draft Jordan Farmar, if he makes it though...some mock drafts have him going earlier though. The Lakers need more depth in the backfield. For a team that made the playoffs, they still have alot of needs...but they only made it because of number 8. Farmar is a true pointguard, and is just what they need. Hoophypes even compares him to a Steve Nash.

Aaron Gray would be a strong NBA-ready player at center for Memphis if he is still on the board. Paul Davis, Josh Boone, and Hilton Armstrong are good players they might be able to get. We haven't gotten to Memphis' pick yet. I think it is either 24 or 25 though so we are close.\n\nUNOFFICIAL YAHOO ANSWERS MOCK NBA DRAFT\n... right now the Nets are on the clock with the 22nd and 23rd picks... your thoughts... thanks\nLink: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ar0o6kPK.mCIKZfwgXEt4aXsy6IX?qid=20060614211829AAjWSwJ

It's too early to press the panic button just yet. Even though they are missing Shaq, Jason Williams and James Posey... The season is still so young so plenty of time to turn it around. I'm sure they'll win around 50 games no prob, too much experience and talent not to.

i hope Derrick Thomas gets in ...i have a jersey he wore and signed and that would make it worth more money when i sell it....

He reminds me of carmelo for sum reason but carmelo was over hyped over rated as hell . Sumwhere between 10-16 points a game depending on the team he lands in. A team that is more offsense that D. where they need a scorer, but this kid has a future. he has dat will to win. I said he reminds me of carmelo ppeople say he reminds them of larry bird  but in reality could be more like reggie. lol but i hate comparasons. Im sure hell be a good player. He wont be anythign jsut morrison. that dudes grimmie as fu** with that mustche lol

Mention that Larry Brown needs to balance out his lineup with a solid big man.  They have the guards to win games but nothing up front.  Mention that drafting Tyrus Thomas, Glen Davis, or Shelden Williams would be a good idea because these are all formidable big men.

They're trying to find an identity.  Staudimare isn't in basketball shape yet, then you have Barbosa and Diaw still doing the same things they did last year.  They'll have to tailor their game to best fit the team.  Plus they have to find a role for Jalen Rose.  They'll be fine by January.  Their chemistry is kinda all over the place right now, but so are a lot of other teams out there.  No need to worry, its only November.

toronto: bargnani - because he has nowitzki type upside...plus they hired his GM from his european team.\n\nchicago: thomas - again, huge upside in the form of a marion type player.\n\ncharlotte: morrison - MJ doesn't want to be remembered for taking kwame brown...so he goes for a safer pick in morrison.\n\nportland: roy - they wanted morrison...but they'll take roy who played college ball near by.  he can come in and start immediately.\n\natlanta: shelden williams - they could use a PG but rumors are a promise has been made\n\nminnesota: gay - aldridge is possible but gay would be a good fit with garnett and should take some pressure off KG.  at #6, he could be the best player in teh draft.\n\nboston: aldridge - they could use some help down low and get another player to slip to them this year (last year gerald green).\n\nhouston: carney - having another slasher would add another dimension to the rockets.  \n\ngolden state: foye - o'bryant is possible but baron davis is too fragile and foye could be his eventually successor...or allow JR to move to SF so they can trade dunleavy.\n\nseattle: o'bryant - they have some project centers...so they won't hesitate to take o'bryant.  he's got pretty good upside but still need some development...will fit right in with the centers they already have.\n\norlando: redick - they need scoring...and when you have deshawn stevenson starting at SG, you know you have a problem.\n\nNO: brewer - they are weak at SG/SF and brewer would be an immediate upgrade.\n\nphilly: marcus williams - too good to pass up here...plus they need a PG to let AI play SG more instead of having to take over PG duties as well.  all this is assuming they don't end up trading AI...\n\nutah: shannon brown - they need help at SG and brown would really round out their starting roster.  if they end up getting a boozer trade done, then hilton armstrong/cedric simmons would be the pick.

Will Blalock is not a good pick even if it is the last pick in the draft. I felt there were more talented players left on the board. I think they needed a post player anyway because Wallace might leave and they need some young blood there. Louis Admundson and Terrance Dials would have been better uses of that pick.

SF shaun williams-New Orleans has a very underrated and young roster, but they lack a perimeter threat. A guard who can knock down a three would do wonders for a Hornets team that averages only 3.6 made three-pointers a game.so with new orleans last in 3 pointers made now that they have jj redick, shaun williams they now have a young perimeter threat with reick williams J.R. smith and chris paul this is my original pick but if i had to go other wise i would say\n\nPF kevin pitsnogle he has the ability to be another dirk nowitzki and since new orleans sucks at shoooting threes and he can also give them an inside presence with chris anderson suspended for drug use
