then how about Allan Ray in rnd 2 instead of Foye?

rnd 1 Swingman (Carney/Brewer) or PG Rondo, Collins (PG/SG can be compared to Mckie & A-Dub)
rnd 2 Allan Ray ben Gordon, Luther Head type player better suited for SG b/c of offensive game, lack true Sg hieght has versitility to play some PG.

Wouldn't say Marcus Williams is definitely going to be there at 10 ... ummm, the Hawks are in dire need of a PG, and they will draft in the top 5.
Williams is the total package at PG.

I can't imagine Shelden Williams playing center in the NBA, but stranger things have happened. I also can't imagine him going in the lottery.
The players that are on the rise right now:
O'Bryant at Bradley
Noah at Florida
McRoberts at Duke

All could feasibly go in the top 10.

Marcus to the Hawks, you may be right but not with their pick. There is no PG near the top 10. Trade down.

The Hawks need size.

JJ has been putting up a monster game here and there--maybe he can be a point forward which will reduce the need for an effective floor general. They just need an unselfish defender at that spot like Chris Duhon.

But knowing the Hawks they'll take Rudy Gay or Adam Morrison.

The Hawks need a PG. Bad. I sincerely doubt the Hawks would do something smart unless they fire Billy King. But that's not the point.

Brandon Roy is a nice choice, but he's a SG, too, isn't he?

Marcus Williams should be available in the second round if he comes out. With a (very) high second round pick, he would be an outstanding addition to the Raptors, given that he's easily the best PG in the draft. With the high pick the Raptors will get, they should either take Carney (I'm a big fan of his) or trade it for a later pick and a centre (if possible). The trade should increase assets, in my opinion.

I like Foye. But combo guards are easier to find than really good rebounders. i suppose it depends how they rate. Is Foye a mini Wade? Or Mike James light? Is Shelden AD or a bad Etan Thomas?

I don't like picking based on need, really. But if it is part of a larger plan, taking your rebounding and defense in the draft can make sense. It's not like we will be passing on the next MJ for Sam Bowie b/c we have our SG.

Someone has taken control of BUTR account and started posting.

I only say this because it almost appears as if you favour Splitter to Sheldon.

Anyways, I couldn't agree with you more.

All I know is this tourny has shooked my personal rankings of prospects. I have a feeling that the reports out of the pre-draft camps will do the same.

I'm going to have to go back to a wait-and-see approach with this year pick.

Not a chance Williams is available in the 2nd with the way hes been playing.
He'll probly go in the 20's
