Hoping he lands there or for his sake, New Orleans.

I still just really don't get Avery Bradley falling that far.

for real.. I like that Donatas dude's game I think Philly should pick him up so we actually have somebody that can shoot
 
Maybe Thibodeau take over the job in Cleveland after Brown gets axed. 

Just speculating.......

Why would he want to coach a team whose centerpiece would be Antawn Jamison?

See what I did there?  Let's see who gets upset first.
 
Lol Jrue Holiday is representing the Sixers at the lottery. How funny would it be if they got the #1 pick and he knew his %@+ was DONE.

that one as well?



....

As expected, Kentucky's John Wallis the consensus, and unanimous, choice to be the No. 1 pick in June'sNBA draft after an informal poll Friday of league decision-makers from10 NBA teams.

What is even more surprising, though, isthe similarity of the ballots from high-ranking NBA personnel inadvance of Tuesday's announcement of the draft lottery order.

The consensus poll for the top five picks went like this:

1. John Wall, Fr., PG, Kentucky
2. Evan Turner, Jr., PG, Ohio State
3. Derrick Favors, Fr., F, Georgia Tech
4. DeMarcus Cousins, Fr., F, Kentucky
5. Wesley Johnson, Jr., SF, Syracuse

ncb_i_babbitt_200.jpg

Ric Tapia/Icon SMINBA personnel are intrigued by Luke Babbitt's as a pro prospect.

Favorsand Cousins had a few votes for No. 2, and once the order in whichteams are selected to draft is announced, it should give a betterindication of where those two big men might land, depending on the needof the teams selecting.

Every team contacted said theonly scenario in which Wall wouldn't go No. 1 is if Utah were to winthe top pick by virtue of owning the New York Knicks'selection. The Jazz have an All-Star and Olympian, Deron Williams, atthe point. If Utah were to get the No. 1 pick, that would open theopportunity for Favors or Cousins to supplant Wall as the top pick.

The second five in the lottery are a bit more jumbled. Still, there is a majority preference, and it goes like this:

6. Cole Aldrich, Jr., C, Kansas
7. Al-Farouq Aminu, So., F, Wake Forest
8. Ed Davis, So., F, North Carolina
9. Greg Monroe, So., F, Georgetown
10. James Anderson, Jr., G, Oklahoma State

Not everyone is in love with this collection, and there is apossibility that a few of the players in these last five spots couldsneak into the top 10. Team order and workouts will determine who couldclimb.

The last four consensus players are:

11. Gordon Hayward, So., F, Butler
12. Xavier Henry, Fr., F, Kansas
13. Ekpe Udoh, Jr., F, Baylor
14. Donatas Motiejunas, F, Lithuania

Udoh is the player from this group who could skyrocket. A number ofNBA personnel said Udoh has the most upside of any player in the draft,and as he continues to work out and go through measurements and testingnext week at the Chicago pre-draft camp, his stock could climb. Butonce again, draft order will be a major factor in the order of themid-to-late lottery. Motiejunas is the only international player on anyof the lottery ballots.

Here are the other players who received votes toward the bottom third of the lottery:

Patrick Patterson, Jr., F, Kentucky
Hassan Whiteside, Fr., C, Marshall
Daniel Orton, Fr., F, Kentucky
Eric Bledsoe, Fr., PG, Kentucky
Paul George, So., F, Fresno State
Luke Babbitt, So., F, Nevada
Larry Sanders, Jr., F, VCU
Terrico White, So., G, Ole Miss

The sleeper in this group is Babbitt. One team official said Babbittmight be one of the most skilled players in the draft and compared hisskill set to that of former NBA All-Star Chris Mullin. Babbitt scored33 points, grabbed eight boards and made 10 of 19 shots (plus 10 of 10free throws) in a 40-minute performance (a loss to a supposedly moreathletic New Mexico State team in the WAC tournament). Babbitt played40 minutes in each of the final three games of the season and had highpercentage shooting games until going 2-of-14 in an NIT loss at RhodeIsland, but he still managed to score 14 points by going 10-of-10 atthe line.

If this assessment on Babbitt is correct and he is around in the middle-to-late first round, then some team might get a steal.

Thedraft order from picks 10 on down will get clearer after the Chicagodraft camp, but maybe more so after two regional workouts that aresponsored by teams. These workouts are expected to draw a number offirst- and second-round picks for the majority of teams to observe.Minnesota is hosting one May 24-27 and New Jersey is hosting the otherJune 9-11.
