NBA Draft - Who's going where?

With the NBA draft coming this Thursday, I thought we could start a little something on the draft. Now, I know that the NBA Draft does not generate the same amount of hoopla that the NFL draft does, but I love it. Does anyone know or want anything in particular to happen for their team on draft night? Portland will definitely take Oden right? They don't make another Bowie pick right? I do think that Durant is going to be a real player in the league. He's got that killer instinct that we've seen many a talented player not have. Knick fans, does Allan Houston ring a bell? For that matter, Curry has to develop that attitude himself. He's got the physical talent for sure, but he's got to develop that attitude that he wants to completely dominate the paint. Durant has that attitude already and he's incredibly talented.

What do you think your team needs? And, going further, who do you think they should draft at their position in the draft? I, personally, think the Knicks need a shooter. I'm hoping for Morris Almond from Rice. I saw him play twice last season and his shooting stroke is smooth like butter. The Knicks need a legit, consistent outside shooter. As streaky as Crawford is from the outside, and we know how much Ed dislikes him, after he went down teams completely collapsed on Curry and made it impossible for him to operate in the paint. So I think Almond would be a good choice. He shot over 45% from 3pt. range last year as his teams number one option and teams draped all over him.

There's a rumor that the Knicks have made a promise to DePaul SF Wilson Chandler. He's been canceling workouts left and right which you never see a guy do when he's on the first round "bubble". If the Knicks didn't make a promise to him, someone must have or else thig uy is crazy. I've never seen the guy play, but I trust Isiah's ability to pick talent from anywhere in the draft. Has anyone seen this guy play? Please tell me good things. Isiah was also rumored to be hot for PF/C Sean Williams from Boston College. He's a big time shot blocker and rebounder whose stock has dropped due to being kicked off his team for marijuana use. It looks like the Nets are going to take him though since they need more big man help than anyone else in this draft. For that matter, they should try and trade for Kurt Thomas.

What do you think the Pistons need Ed? They have two picks in the first round and I think this draft is going to be pretty deep. I really think if a team has a 2nd round pick they should take a chance on PG Jared Jordan. Maybe the Pistons should take a chance on him with Chauncey officially declaring himself a free agent today.
