ESPN - 2011 NBA Lottery Mock Draft
This team confuses me. Right now I see a lot of good young players. Crawford, Young, McGee, Wall. Even Booker looks good as a role player. Still what do they need to add to continue their development? We all know Wall is going to be a Derrick Rose type player but what do we add in the draft.

Right now the NBA Draft Lotto machine says we'll go for the following

If we pick at 4 we get the Turkish big man/Kentucky student deemed ineligible in Enes Kanter. A physical 6'10 Center that apparently has decent range. ESPN compares him to Andrew Bogut, who is one of the more under appreciated big men in the league.

If we pick at 5 ESPN says we'll take Jonas Valanciunas from Lithuania. Another physical big man that likes to throw the body around.

If we pick at 1, 2, or 3 then the ESPN lotto machine gives us Derrick Williams. An athletic 3 that's learning more and more ways to score. Williams compares to Thaddeus Young and David West who are both the type of guys you want on your team, but not exactly the type of guys that can take you from the cellar to the penthouse.

Personally I want to lean towards adding a physical big man, but as the Durrant-Oden draft showed us you have to take the best player available.

Also I knew someone was missing besides Sullinger when I wrote this post and I was bummed to find out that possible Kevin Garnett clone Perry Jones is staying at Baylor. Here's to hoping we can muster up one more top 5 pick in next years draft before becoming competitive.
