    Looks like we're again heading for the 14th overall pick.

    Honestly, this year's draft really sucks. Regardless here are some prospects that should be around our picking area.

    Terrence Jones, Marcus Morris, Valanciunas. I'm not a huge fan of any of these players, and I think Terrence Jones is supremely overrated. Regardless, these are probably some of the best prospects at our range.

    I can see the physical resemblance to Kenyon Martin, but they play different positions.

    Terrence is a strong skilled Small Forward he would be a great fit for this team.

    Enes Kanter has piqued my interest
    http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Enes-Kanter-5168/

    He doesn't fix our need for shotblocker, but he is a load at 6'10" 250.
    At only 18 he probably has a little more growing to do, and has a good body type to put on more muscle.

    He is projected anywhere from 4 to 10 from what I have seen, so we would need to make a move to nab him.

    This guy was supposed to play at kentucky this year but was declared enelgible since he was playing pro ball over seas

    Wont be close to the 14th pick unless the draft combine reveals he will be majorly injury proned.

    Even then, with the success of some guys like Dejuan Blair and the fact that top picks like Harrison Barnes, Jared Sullinger, and others lottery picks staying for another in college another season will make him a likely top 5 top pick regardless.

    But seriously, another draft 14th pick draft thread????

    Kawhi Leonard. I think we should try for an SF.

    14th pick over all without trading up or making other moves...im gona go with jonas valanciunas hopefully he can be an omer asik type of player at the very least.

    I like our 2010 draft pick. If we can get a player close to the same caliber, great.

    One thing I'm confident in is the Rockets will be well prepared in making their draft selection, even if it may not be immediately obvious to us why they took the player they did.

    I say we gamble on a project center, we already have enough good pieces on this team

    I think this would be a great year to trade out of the first round and stock pile a future #1 and #2.

    I think DM should have some fun and swap with the Knicks, he has gotten too good at picking at 14, he should challenge himself and make the swap.

    Come on DM, move that slider from easy to hard.
