I wouldn’t mind hearing who everyone thinks will have an immediate impact (ie. will help their team significantly in their first season), and which guys are projects that teams are going to have to give a few years before they become the player they ought to be. Like many of you, I figure Wall and Turner to be immediate impact guys, and I think Cousins on the right team will be as well. Favors in my opinion is someone that will need some time to develop, especially on the offensive end. However, this is a deep draft and I’d like to hear what everyone has to say.

cole aldrich- i think he will have a defensive impact and provide some offense kinda like brook lopez in his first year but on a lower level

vasquez- yeah i know im a maryland fan but most seniors have pretty good impacts although they dont have the high celing

willie warren- the guy didnt have the best of years but his talent is undeniable. i always thought his game was best suited for the nba

Evan Turner – He’s the obvious choice. It’ll be interesting to see him and Iguodala paired up, but Turner should make an immediate all-around impact.

DeMarcus Cousins – I think he can make an immediate impact. It’ll be interesting if the T-Wolves draft him. I think he’ll make more of an impact if he gets picked by the Kings.

John Wall – I think it’s great he’ll be paired up with Arenas. He won’t have to do so much so soon. He’s not ready to run a franchise just yet. He should be the starter right away though.

Wesley Johnson – Depending on where he’s drafted… I think he’s another player who can make an immediate impact, especially if he falls to the Warriors. He’s not going to create for anybody, but he’ll bring shooting, athleticism and I think he’ll be a decent defender.

Greg Monroe – I think he could make an immediate impact, especially if he’s drafted by the Jazz and Carlos Boozer doesn’t return. He could be a solid backup behind Millsap. He could even backup Okur too.

Pattrick Patterson – I think he’s NBA ready. He won’t be a starter or anything, but I think he’ll be a solid player in the rotation.

James Anderson – I think he’ll make an offensive impact right away, especially if he’s drafted to Chicago.

Cole Aldrich – I think he’s ready to make an impact wherever he’s drafted.

I like Damion James and Quincey Pondexter too. I think they can be solid rotation players right away.

you try to find the gems and use the system against itself…this year the # 1 pick would be worth some nice coin…Washington could sell the pick to the Nets for both of their picks 3 and twenty something get them Wall and ask Lee/Williams and Harris in enchange for Wall and New Arenas

Harris Gilbert 2.0…minus the drama
Lee better than Nick Young
Williams plays sf/sg/pg and safety
4th pick Cousins/Favors/Monroe replace Blatche and get rid of Gilberty City

for

Arenas(Russians love guns,,, could play the 2 and attract another star)
Blatche(a scorer at the 4 that showed big numbers in Wash.)
1st pick John Wall( They want him bad..now they get him)
