1. John Wall
G. Kentucky
John Wall is a truly transcendent talent with his combination of natural feel for the game, court vision and incredible athleticism. Wall should be the most immediately exciting rookie since LeBron James and possibly also its best.
2. Evan Turner
G/F. Ohio State
Even without the accidental preview on their web page, all indications are strong that Turner will be Philadelphia's pick.
3. Derrick Favors
F. Georgia Tech
In the Derrick Favors vs. DeMarcus Cousins debate, I prefer the latter, but the former is a better fit with Brook Lopez and represents a safer choice.
4. Wesley Johnson
F. Syracuse
Given Minnesota's current roster, Johnson is the prudent pick and his ability to shoot from the perimeter, make plays in transition and is also very well suited for the Triangle if they continue attempting to run it.
5. DeMarcus Cousins
C. Kentucky
The Kings are capable of being scary good as quickly as 11-12 with Tyreke Evans and Cousins as the centerpieces and excellent complementary pieces in Carl Landry and Omri Casspi.
6. Greg Monroe
FC. Georgetown
Monroe's versatility to play multiple positions and be an excellent passer from the high post should mix well with the unorthodox power forwards in Anthony Randolph and Brandan Wright (if they remain with the team), as well as small forward Corey Maggette who frequently plays down low.
7. Cole Aldrich
C. Kansas
The Pistons are in need of a legitimate center and Aldrich gives them a solid two-way big with his shotblocking and enough of an offensive repertoire to make opposing bigs defend him.
8. Luke Babbitt
SF. Nevada
More than anything, the Clippers need a wing with size and Babbitt is the surest thing that fits the description. Whether it is this offseason or next, this franchise is expecting to get a legitimate All-Star, so a player with as much versatility as Babbitt will fit in regardless.
9. Al-Farouq Aminu
F. Wake Forest
If we were to judge purely on talent, Aminu would easily be a top-five pick, but he lacks the killer instinct necessary to maximize his pure gifts. He is a tweener in much the same way as Andrei Kirilenko and he could fill in nicely as his successor.
10. Ed Davis
PF. North Carolina
As I mentioned in my preview of the Pacers, the decision to ignore the depth of point guards last summer is adversely affecting their outlook this year. They are attempting to shop the pick for a point guard, but if they retain it, I think a face-up power forward like Davis is the best value.
Geniaal!
