The Orlando Magic in my opinion are a team that has lost all hope. Dwight Howard feels like he is alone and his relationship with his coach, Stan Van Gundy, is not the greatest. The Magic did not haven a very good season but they did not have an awful season. They rank 21st in points per game with 94.2, 13th in rebounds per game with 42.5 and 20th in assists per game with 20. Having there ok season they are projected to have two picks. One in the  mid dirst round and one in the mid second round. With all of the rumors of Dwight Howard leaving they should go for a big man in the first round. With there very low assists per game they should go for a guard in the second round. If I was the general manager for the Magic my first pick would be John Henson of North Carolina or trade up for Terence Jones. Henson could be a huge force for them. He is a beast standing at 6-10 and weighing in at 220 pounds. This year, in the NCAA he averaged over 13 points per game and over ten rebounds per game. If Howard stays they could be a great combo down low. For thier second pick they should try and take Kim English of Missouri or J'Covan Brown of Texas. Either of these guys could come off the bench for Jameer Nelson and do a solid job. The Magic will not be too good for a couple of years but they should really try to take advantage of this draft. Howard is alone on an island but after this draft he could have a friend.

After Carmelo Anthony was traded to the Knicks, everyone thought the Nuggets were finished for a while. They have proved all of the haters wrong by making the playoffs, giving the Los Angeles Lakers a run for there money and having some of the best overall stats as a team. They are 1st in the league in points per game with 104.1, 8th in rebounds per game with 43.1 and 1st in the league in assists per game with 24. Even though this team has had a solid year they are still projected to have three draft picks. One in the mid-late first round, the second in the early second round and the last in the mid-late second round. With these slots, I believe that the Nuggets have the most potential for this draft. They already have a bunch of young talent such as Ty Lawson, JaVale McGee and Danilo Gallinari and if they make the right picks they will be a tough team to beat. For thier first pick they should take Dion Waiters of Syracuse. He is a point guard/shooting guard who could do exactly what he did this year, make a huge impact off the bench. For thier second pick they should go big and take either JaMychal Green of Alabama or Quincy Acy of Baylor. Both of these guys are powerful forces who can score the basketball and can grab a truck load of rebounds. Either of those guys would help them out. For thier last pick they have to be looking for Tyshawn Taylor to play backup point guard. He is projected to go pretty late but if the Nuggets take him it would be a complete steal. I am not saying that any of these guys will start but all of them could make big impacts off the bench. If the Nuggets have a succesful draft, look for them to have a very sucessful season.

I do not enjoy the Atlanta Hawks because they always beat or give the Celtics a good game. I respect them because they are a team full of hard working guys but they always seem to play thier best when they are up against the C's. They are 17th in points per game with 96.6, 23rd in rebounds per game with 41.2 and 8th in assists per game with 22.4. In this case I would have to agree with the stats that they should try to draft a big man who can leap and bring down the rebounds. They already have Josh Smith down low but they could draft a center or someone who could shadow Smith. Since they have had a solid season, they are prjected to have one pick in the late first round. There are some solid big men that could be available when they are up such as Fab Melo o Syracuse and Andrew Nicholson of Saint Bonaventure. Although they are both solid players the best route for the Hawks to go would be to trade up a few picks and try to snag Terence Jones, one of the many big men from Kentucky. Over this past season, Jones averaged 12.5 points per game and 7 rebounds per game. If Jones played for any other team he could average a double double because there are so many great players on Kentucky so it is tough to have flashy stats. He has an NBA type skill set, standing at 6-9 and weighing in at 252 pounds. He is pretty much a tank and the type of player that could make a direct impact on the NBA. If the Hawks select him they will be one of the elite teams in the league who can have a solid chance at a title run. As much as I do not enjoy them, they could be amazing if they make the right pick.

As everyone in the class knows, the Celtics are now one of the oldest teams in the NBA. Besides having young guns, Rajon Rondo and Avery Bradley they really are not very mobile and could use this draft to thier advantage. The Celts are 26th in the league in points per game with 91.8, last in rebounds per game with 38.8 and 2 in assists per game with 23.6. So if you were actually reading this entry which I doubt you were except for Slug, you would find that the Celtics need a young big man to come to Boston. The Celtics are projected to get one  pick in the mid-late first round. They could trade up and get Terence Jones, the big force from Kentucky or Kevin Jones from West Virginia. I believe that best pick for the Celtics is to snag the big man from Syracuse, Fab Melo. Although this man has trouble keeping uphis grades, he is a force on the boards and could really be a nice fit for the Celtics. Although he could work on his speed a little bit, he stills stands a 7 feet and weighs in at 255 pounds. I think if he hit the gym and worked on his speed and agility he could be one of the elite players in the league in a few years. This guy has a big advantage over most of the players but the only way he can be succesful if he does not do something stupid like get kicked out of the NCAA Tournament because of academic troubles.

With superstars, Blake Griffin and Chris Paul playing beside each other, this Clipper team has been very exciting to watch. With all of thier young talent and thier veterans they have not been able to really play as a team yet. A good comparisen would be the Heat last year or the Knicks, who have a bunch of talent but do not know how to come together on the court. To get Chris Paul they had to give up some draft slots so they are left at a pretty tight spot. They are projected to have one pick in the mid-late second round. Since they already have Griffin and Jordan down lown, they should probably search for a guard. Some players that they could snag are players that I have mentioned before such as Tyshawn Taylor and J'Covan Brown. Although those two are both solid guards I believe if the Clippers are lucky enough or trade up they should select Will Barton from Memphis. This guy can control the tempo of the game whenever he wants and wherever he wants. He has a nice jump shot, some explosive moves to the basket and is great at finding the big man down low for an easy two points. Barton has an advantage over some small shooting guards because he stands at 6-6 which is on the taller side for a shooting guard. This year at Memphis along with scoring over 18 points and dishing out three assists per game, he was also able to average 8 rebounds per game. Kobe Bryant, hands down the best shooting guard in league is the same height as Barton but he averages a little over 5 rebounds per game. Even though there is quite a diffeence between the NCAA and the NBA, when Barton improves on his strength and his transition to the NBA, he will be all set. This guy is the complete package and the Clipps should try and snag him.

The Grizzlies are a team that everyone (including Zach Lisman) thinks can make a deep run in the playoffs. They are the 4 seed in the West against the number 5 seed, Clippers. Although Memphis always plays good ball at the end of the season I personally believe that they will lose in the first round. They have some solid talent but they could use this year's draft to improve thier franchise and make a deep run in the future. They are 20th in the league in points per game with 95, 16th in rebounds per game with 42 and 24th in assits per game with 19.5. Since they have had a pretty solid season for themselves they will not have they best draft slots. If I were the Grizzlies general manager I would be looking for either a guard or a small forward that could take over Rudy Gay's slot, when his time is finished. Some prospects that they should look at are Will Barton from Memphis, Doron Lamb from Kentucky or Darius Miller from Kentucky. Although thier guards are not the best I still think they should take a small forward. With young Mike Conley at the point they should be set for a little while. The Grizz should go after Darius Miller. At a draft center like Kentucky, Miller did not get to play that much. But when he came off the bench, he made a big impact. This guy has got the size to play with the big boys, standing at 6-8 and weighing in at 225 pounds. I can not realy compare him with any of the star small forwards in the NBA because he is soo much different from all of them. With his ability he could be one of the steals in the draft and add to the Grizzlies young and talented team.
