What do you guys have to say about this?</div>Its very intelligent...I must say I do like Tyrus Thomas a boat load and he will be a force in the NBA in 2011. Rudy Gay is a good choice to, but I actually think Shelden Williams and Adam Morrison should be up on the list more. And lastly, add Reick to biggest busts he wont get anywhere in the NBA, I mean he is going to be a major bust IMO.
It's a tough call on Reddick. He can shoot, and if he still can shoot well in 2011, then it's not a big bust. But Ronnie Brewer still should have went to Orlando over JJ.

I mean yeah he is a pure shooter, but he first has to learn to shoot on actual pro defenders. For the most part in college he faced measely defenders.

I am going to say that Marcus Williams is going to be a top 3 player out of last years draft. Out of what I saw out of him in college, he reminds me a little bit of Deron Williams. This may be because of their similar build but I think their games are somewhat similar. They both are good shooters from 3 point range, they are smart players, they are winners, and they are good passers as well. I feel that once J Kidd retires, and he becomes the starting PG (which will be in a few years), he is going to be an absolute monster.Another PG that will do great IMO is Rajon Rondo. He will definitely be a top ten player out of this draft IF he gets the playing time. Right now he is in a very crowded situation in Boston and its unfortunate because his competition is a very young player as well. If he can get 30-35 minutes a night somehow, he is going to be a very good player.For my #1 pick, I am going to go with Adam Morrisson. In his rookie season, he has shown glimpses of greatness. He scored "27" points against Bruce Bowen and the Spurs which is great. His offensive game is completley sound, and he is a smart player as well. I love his game and I think in his prime, he will get 25-28 PPG.
