Draft projections?
Okay so we are heading to the lottery, but barring a suprise top 3 pick, I say we end up at 5-7. If as early as 5 I think we have to get either Brook Lopez or Jerred Bayless.
Lopez, obviously because we could use an anchor in the low post. Emeka hasn't established himself since he's been here and we need someone who we can draw double teams in the low block. Of course, it's unfair to Emeka to say he's hasn't lived up to expectations due to the fact that he's never played with anyone good at the 5.
Bayless would be the best pick IMO. He would put pressure on Raymond right from the get go, and may even take the job from him. He can score, pass, do what you need, and pass in the halfcourt game, something Raymond struggles with. His defense isn't too bad, and he can actually take it and finish at the hole on a consistent basis.
If we can't get those two then here are the ones I think we should go after in order:
Gordon
Jordan
McGee
Westbrook
Randolph
Randolph would be higher on the list, but he's a guy that will need time. We need immediate impact, so that's why I put him at the bottom.
Obviously if we get top 3, Beasley, Rose, Mayo are the options.
1- Rose/Beasley - Either one, both are great players
2 - Rose/Beasley - Whichever doesn't get taken 1st
3 - Mayo
