Who will the Atlanta Hawks pick at 3??  They need a center or a pg.  Maybe Conley, or perhaps Hibbert.  These guys are projected to go later but they are the best at there positions IMO.  I know a lot of people like Noah, but I'm not sold on him just yet.  Oh yeah, and there is supposed to be this center with great potential from China going as soon as 3..forgot his name.

The player from China you speak of is Yi Julian(something like that). I watched him play and he plays more like a quicker Dirk Nowitzki. He has excellent size at seven foot, has long shooting range, excellent hops, and can get to the rim with quickness. I think ATL will pick Mike Conly at 3 and the best available player at 11, or they might trade that 11 pick.

They need to trade down and draft Mike Conley Jr, that guy is gonna be great and would be perfect for Atlanta. They can get him later than 3 though.

I think they'll go tall, so either Al Horford, Yi Jianlian, Yoakim Noah or maybe even Roy Hibbert, depending on Nate McMillan's vision of how he wants to play.

I think they'll pick the best available player at the 3 spot (Horford or Wright) and then wait and see what happens with the 11th pick.  I think they'll roll the dice and see if Conley lasts until the 11th pick and then choose Acie Law if he doesn't.  They may also attempt to use one of their young pieces to trade back up into the top 10 in order to get Conley.

well, they can't pick hibbert this year cuz hibbert pulled out and is gonna stay another year at georgetown so yeah. the hawks will prolly look to go pg more than c and go w/ conley and then go for c maybe at 11 unless they trade that pick away for somethin better.

Whomever is picked #7 will be a the bust of the draft, the Wolves always find him, and if they can't they will trade them for him.

Oden? I still think everyone is giving him way too much credit. Please. Durant and Brandan Wright are the way to go. From there Acie Law or just wait til next year.

The real question is can the NBA make the age limit higher? College basketball was on fire this year and it only helps these players to brush up their game. They aren't going to get the soft calls as they did in school. However, to see them on rosters in video games and on newspaper tabloids with DNP isn't cool. I hate to see potentially good players get the boot all bc they left school early to ride the pine when they could of been better.

Oden has the most potential to be a dominant center, and that's the best position to carry your team with. He's an easy pick at #1, IMO.

I'm glad to see Acie Law's name here. He may not be seven feet tall but neither is Steve Nash and he does pretty good for himself.

 

(Yes I realize Law is no Nash, but that wasn't my point)

I'd like the Bulls to take Noah, so Atlanta really should pass on him.

If Atlanta pick a big guy at 3, they can try and get Acie Law at 11.
