28 San Antonio
29 Phoenix
30 Philadelphia (from Dallas via Denver and Golden State)
I'm glad Boston didnt get the one or two.Ainge and Doc Rivers are probably suicidal right now.
Oden will be no better then Dikembe Mutumbo in his prime.Kevin Durant will be the next Dominique Wilkens for the Hawks.The sixers will get one decent player out of their 3 picks.

What was west's problem with the draft?
There are usually one or two alll star caliber players that get passed up and don't go till after the 10th pick so I don't see the point in bitching.

He was bitching about the fact that memphis didn't get the #1 pick. Saying that it should be based solely on record and not a weighted system.
Fox Sports First Mock Draft
1. Trail Blazers Greg Oden 7-0, 250 C Ohio State Fr.
This one may not be a complete no-brainer, but how can you pass up on a true center when there are so few in the NBA? Oden is a dominating big man, especially on the defensive end, and he'll pay immediate dividends for the Trail Blazers. Put him along with LaMarcus Aldridge, Brandon Roy, Zach Randolph and point guard Jarrett Jack, and you've got one of the best young teams in the NBA.
2. Sonics Kevin Durant 6-9, 220 F Texas Fr.
This one is even easier than the top overall pick. Durant is a cross between Kevin Garnett and Dirk Nowitzki. He's one of the most offensively gifted players to come along in the last decade. This is a pretty darn good consolation prize. Imagine Durant with Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis (if re-signs) in the Pacific Northwest.
3. Hawks Brandan Wright 6-9, 225 PF North Carolina Fr.
He's long and athletic and can really get up and down the court. He may take a while to develop because he needs to bulk up, develop a face-up game and also play with more intensity.
4. Grizzlies Al Horford 6-8½, 245 PF Florida Jr.
The Grizzlies are in need of a physical player up front — and Horford fits the bill. He's strong, smart and was able to dominate in the post in college. The question is whether he can do the same in the pros.
5. Celtics Jeff Green 6-8, 225 F Georgetown Jr.
The Celtics were hoping for Oden or Durant. Instead, Danny Ainge will add the versatile and multi-dimensional Hoyas forward. We're going with Green in a slight nod over Al Thornton.
6. Bucks Corey Brewer 6-8, 185 SF Florida Jr.
Brewer is a Scottie Pippen clone. He is versatile and can become a lock-down defender in the NBA. He'll be ideal with the Bucks alongside Michael Redd, Mo Williams and Charlie Villanueva.
7. Timberwolves Joakim Noah 6-11, 230 PF/C Florida Jr.
The Wolves need a low-post scorer who can rebound. While Noah isn't the most physically intimidating guy, he plays hard all the time and will get better as he puts on weight.
8. Bobcats Yi Jianlian 7-0, 240 PF China
Some compare him to Andrea Bargnani, while others mention Toni Kukoc. He's skilled and athletic and will give the Bobcats a solid offensive threat — and someone who can make shots from the perimeter.
9. Bulls (from New York) Spencer Hawes 7-0, 245 C Washington Fr.
The Bulls need a true low-post presence and some have compared Hawes to a young Kevin McHale. He'll impress in team workouts because of his skill level. The only concern is he's not a terrific athlete.
10. Kings Roy Hibbert 7-2, 270 C Georgetown Jr.
The Kings were one of the worst rebounding and shot-blocking teams and are in desperate need of a low-post scorer who can also rebound. Hibbert is not a terrific rebounder, but he's improved more than just about anyone since arriving in college.
11. Hawks (from Indiana) Mike Conley Jr. 6-0, 170 PG Ohio State Fr.
He's a floor leader who is as poised a freshman as there was in the country this past season. He's improved his strength and isn't afraid to take the big shot. He'll need to become more consistent with his long-range shot.
12. 76ers Al Thornton 6-8, 225 F Florida State Sr.
Played four years in the ACC and has an extremely well-rounded offensive game. Good character and terrific work ethic. The 76ers need to go with the best player available and Thornton is clearly the guy.
13. Hornets Julian Wright 6-8, 225 F Kansas Soph.
The Hornets could use a wing and while Wright isn't a big-time shooter, he finds a way to score — and also makes people better and can keep up with Chris Paul.
14. Clippers Nick Young 6-6, 200 SG USC Jr.
This is the good 'old local pick. Young grew up in the area, played in L.A. and gives the Clippers another athletic wing.

Noah to the timberwolves is hilarious.He is so overrated.Once he doesnt pan out Mchale is done.
Instead of oden or Durant the Celts get Jeff Green.Thats pathetic.Look for the Paul Pierce wants to be traded story coming shortly.The Bulls need to trade Ben Wallace, that has nothing to do with the draft but they really need to do that.

Bostons not having that great of a week.Dropping two of three to the Yanks isnt good.I hate Curt Schilling with a passion.
Phillies almost gave a game away last night.Fucking back up catcher stands up for a play at the plate to give up a run.Sloppy game the Phils probably shouldnt have won.
