Mock Draft (With Explanations)
First round
1. Houston Rockets - Yao Ming - C - China (Almost done deal. They need a C and get the best one in the draft)
2. Chicago Bulls - Jay Williams - PG - Duke (Jay wants Chicago, Chicago wants Jay, there is no reason Chicago does not pick him)
3. Golden State Warriors - Mike Dunleavy - SF - Duke (Golden State gets immediate help with this pick. Jamison can now moce to 4.)
4. Memphis Grizzlies - Nikoloz Tstishvilli - SF - Italy (Memphis can wait for him to develop. Him and Gasol are their future.)
5. Denver Nuggets - Drew Gooden - PF - Kansas - (I don't think they should pick Gooden but they will. Can play 3-5 if you needed him to. Insurance if Dyess or Howard leaves)
6. Cleveland Cavaliers Caron Butler - SF - UConn - (Get immediate help. May convice Miller to sign for less)
7. New York Knicks - Chris Wilcox - PF - Maryland - (Really impressed with him and is the best big man left)
8. LA Clippers (from Atlanta) Nene Hilario - PF - Brazil - (Is their big man of the future. His athletisicm fits their style of play)

10. Miami Heat - Dajuan Wagner - G - Memphis (Get the guard they have been looking for. Will add to their scoring.
11. Washington Wizards - Qyntell Woods - SF - Juco (they need someone when Michael leaves. One year learning from Jordan will help him)

13. Milwaukee Bucks - Amare Stoudemire - PF - HS Senior (Can afford for him to develop, and when he does he will be special)
14. Indiana Pacers - Kareem Rush - SG - Missouri (Replacement for Reggie Miller. Best player left that is not a forward)
15. Houston Rockets (from Toronto) Bostjan Nachbar - SF - Italy (Fill another need. Nachbar has been getting a lot of consederation lately.)
16. Philadelphia 76ers - Melvin Ely - PF - Fresno St. (Fits Larry Brown's system. I don't know if Golden State has really gotten this pick yet though)
17. New Orleans Hornets - Jiri Welsch - G - Czech (Fine at the F positions. Need a backup G)
18. Orlando Magic - Marcus Haislip - PF - Tennessee (Wanted Stoudemire but get someone who can be even better)

20. Toronto Raptors (from Seattle via New York) Frank Williams - PG - Illinois (Finally get a PG)
21. Portland Trail Blazers - Chris Jeffries - SG - Fresno St. (Could become their true "Kobe Stopper")

26. San Antonio Spurs - Carlos Boozer - PF - Duke (Could become starting PF once Robinson leaves and Duncan becomes C. Will complement Duncan well)
