1.Washington Wizards- Eddie Griffin F The best player in the draft, and MJ doesn't want to have to wait on a high schooler 2.L.A. Clippers- Eddy Curry F/C They need frontcourt help and in a couple of years the man-child will be very good. They have time to wait since the team is so young. 3.Atlanta Hawks- Kwame Brown PF The Hawks would like to keep Brown in his home state. Brown could sit back and learn the NBA under Theo Ratliff and Lorenzen Wright. 4.Chicago Bulls- DeSagana Diop C Don't have a center and are the league's worst team, why not sit back and wait a few years and see how good Diop can be? 5.Golden State- Tyson Chandler F/C Golden State has a bad and injury prone front court, upset that Diop is gone, they keep Chandler in California. 6.Vancouver Grizzlies- Jason Richardson SG They need a C, but with no one worthy of this pick they jump at the chance to add Jason Richardson if he is still on the board. 7.New Jersey Nets- Shane Battier SF Battier can help out immeaditly and that is huge with injury prone Kerry Kittles and free agent Kendall Gill. 8.Cleveland Cavs- Rodney White F Cleveland needs alot of help, White can play both forward postions and has huge potential. 9.Detroit Pistons- Joe Johnson SG/SF Detroit needs someone who can take the scoring load off of Jerry Stackhouse, and Johnson could turn out to be an awesome scorer. But since the Pistons need front court help look for them to move down for either Randolph, Woods, or Haywood. 10.Boston Celtics- Pau Gasol F Boston is very high on the Spanish forward, and some say he has talent in the Nowitski range. 11.Boston Celtics- Micheal Bradley PF/C Bradley suppies needed frontcourt help. Although PG is a need they pass on Tinsley, and hope for Satterfield or Cook at 21. 12.Seattle Supersonics-Jamal Tinsley PG Tinsley makes Gary Payton, who has been long disgruntled, expendible. Although frontcourt help is needed, trading Payton could bring 2 or 3 quality players. 13.Hosuton Rockets- Brendan Haywood C I know this seems scary, but I have a feeling that the Rockets are going to draft a center with their first pick. Loren Woods is anoter option. There's my lottery predictions, later I will post the remainder of the first round. All comments are welcome. ------------------
Haywood should be available at 18, no reason wasting a high pick on him. bradley maybe. personally i wouldnt want him at 18 either. ------------------ Howdy Partner!
You are a GEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! ------------------
The Rockets will take Woods over Haywood. ------------------ President of the Steve Francis, Jamal Crawford,Larry Hughes, and Charles Woodson fan club. [This message has been edited by Lil Francis (edited May 25, 2001).]
