A look into our draft competitiors....scouting reports on teams above

This ain't much but general outlook.

Clippers:

Mo Taylor is leaving, they would like to also fill up PG hole. They would trade down but don't want to miss out on Martin.

Bulls:

A center, not another undersized PF. Chris Mihm would do.

Orlando: (Warriors)

Best player available, perferably a big man. Marcus Fizer would do.

Vancouver:

They need a big man, and Moiso is perfect fit. Can you imagine MD, Rahim, Moiso...just scary. However if no big man is there, they'll go best player available. Just a thought...another PG?

Hawks:

Their weakest position is SF and need a scorer, and they're high on Miller. Its a match.


#2 Bulls: (Wizards)

They would defintely take a guard here after taking a big man above. Now depending who they take here could really screw us over. If they take Barkley or Quentin we fine, but if they take DerMarr or Miles we are screwed big time.

Nets:

They have a set with their guards. They have the option of moving Van Horn to SF and William to PF and then drafting a C.

They can either go center or small forward. They will pick the best available player as long as it isn't a guard. The best available player at SF would be DerMarr(he's a big SG). They have 2 excellent slashers and Dermarr's outside shooting was benefit them well.


Cavs:

After Zydrunas went down with an injury, teams were able to triple team Kemp with success.

A backup big man in case Zydrunas gets injured. They could go Joel Pryzbilla/Collier which I think is pretty high. If not that, they would need a scorer/slasher to keep defense honest off Kemp. A very suitable pick would be Courtney Alexander as he'll keep some pressure off Kemp.

Rockets:

Well and after this would be us. We know our needs are a Forward. We will select the best player available. Hopefully Miles slides all the way down to 9 due to his poor outside shooting. Remember McGrady was a 9th pick also. Also remember, we are one of the only few teams who are able to get a HS player as we don't have the pressure to win now. We have the time to develop the guy.
