Using the ESPN lotto machine for draft positions.

1) Minnesota- Enes Kanter- I think he compliments Kevin Love well. This only happens if he measures at a legit 6’11" in shoes.

2) Detroit- Kyrie Irving- The lotto came through for Detroit. They get the point guard they NEED. This moves Stuckey to the 2 where I think he can be a solid player.

3) Cleveland- Perry Jones- They lose the top pick but still get the guy with the most potential, IMO. I am a believer in him and I think he can turn into a Lamrcus Aldridge type PF.

4) Washington- Jared Sullinger- Not a fan of Blatche. I think Sullinger has the toughness this young team will need but also compliments McGee well. He also gives them someone they can throw the ball down to and can score or get fouled.

5) Sacramento- Brandon Knight- Probably a reach but I think he is tough and compliments Evans very well. Plus he can spread the floor for Cousins and Evans to operate.

6) Toronto- Jonas Valanciunas- They need a true C. This can open the door for a trade of Johnson or Bargnani(I would keep Davis).

7) Utah- Terrance Jones- Even if Kirilenko returns, the Jazz could use a young guy that does multiple things well. Plus they need to upgrade their wing positions badly.

8) Cleveland- Harrison Barnes- Another young guy but I think he is not as much of a project. Has been playing better as of late but this team will definately have some future hope with the pick ups of both Jones and Barnes.

9) Milwaukee- Jordan Hamilton- They need some more scoring at the wing positions, Hamilton can play both spots. Some people say PF here but they just drafted Sanders and I think he will eventually be a starter.

10) Charlotte- Kawhi Leonard- Hopefully he can kind of replace Wallace. I think he can help fill the void but I think he could eventually become a better scorer than Wallace was.

11) Golden State- Jan Vesely- GS takes a SF with the ability to play spot minutes at the 4. They could use the upgrade at the 3 and I think Wright can play both wing spots as a starter and as a backup for Ellis.

12) Houston- Donatas Motiejunas- This team has a log jam of talent everywhere except C. Donatas unfortunately isn’t a C but he is a good talent and could be better than Scola.

13) Utah- Alec Burks- He is a serious upgrade at the 2 guard for Utah. He needs to keep working on his jumper because he won’t be as ball dominant in the NBA.

14) Phoenix- Trey Thompkins- With post skills and a jumper he could be a good fit in Phoenix. Almost anybody will be an upgrade over Hakim Warrick.

15) Indiana- Jimmer Fredette- They could use a backup point guard and with his great shooting he can spread the floor.

16) Philadelphia- Lucas Nogueira- I am not sure Spencer Hawes is the answer at C. With Nogueira’s athleticism he fits in well with this team and hopefully can become their rim protector.

17) New York- Kemba Walker- NY takes the hometown kid but not for that reason. He can be the backup point guard and scoring punch of the bench.

18) Memphis- Kris Joseph- If Battier doesn’t come back they could use a reliable backup at the 3.

19) Portland- Markieff Morris- He can be a good backup PF and play with Aldridge at times. This team needs big bodies.

20) Denver- Tristan Thompson- With KMart possibly gone they could use another gritty and athletic PF. Hopefully he can bring more offense.

21) New Orleans- William Buford- He is an upgrade at the 2 which this team could use.

22) Atlanta- Jordan Williams- This may be a stretch but I think Williams is strong and big enough to play C. This could push Horford over to the 4 which I think seems logical. At worst, the put Horford at the 4 and Williams does the same as Horford has at the 5.

23) Oklahoma City- Tyler Honeycutt- I am not a huge fan but at this point in the draft I like him. I think he is a glue guy that will do everything this team needs him to do.

24) Orlando- Marcus Morris- I may be dead wrong for hiom dropping this far but I think he is too tweener for his own good. We know he can be successful Dwight taking all the attention.

25) LA Lakers- Chris Singleton- It gives them options, he can play some 4 when Bynum, Odom or Gasol is hurt or in foul trouble. Or he can play some 3 with the struggles of Artest.

No way Kanter goes #1 in my mind. I love Kanters’ game but not #1

I don’t think Knight compliments Tyreke’s game.

 Utah needs a leader ASAP. I like Utah picking a SF first but that SF should also be a bonified leader because its not likely that one will be available with the 13 pick. So if one is available like Harrison Barnes when is Utah is on the clock they should pick him. This is what Utah has lacked in so many games because they gave up their only leader to New Jersey.

I’m not quite so sure about Cleveland picking Perry Jones. I think they will go with hometown boy Sullinger if he is available. 

Washington has a need at both the 3 and the 4. Sullinger is not a bad pick for them but I think it’d be better if they picked Derrick Williams because he can play both the 3 and the 4. 

While I agree with you that Hawes should not be starting for Philly at Center, I don’t think Noguira will go in the first round because he needs to get stronger. I think a better pick would be Mason Plumlee or Jonas Valanciunas.

Like someone else said Kanter will not go #1. Even I like that pick for them, I don’t think Kanter will go #1. I think Minny will go with Perry Jones because of his ability to defend which is what Minny really needs.

Houston should try and get Valanciunas at all costs. They definitely need a center using Montie at Center would be like the Raptors using Bargnani at Center. UGHH

I don’t think Trey Thompkins will go in the lottery.

New York needs some size more than they need a PG. They will try and go for Markieff or Tristian Thompson if available

Memphis also needs a 4 because Zach Randolph is not coming back. So they will try and get Markieff or Tristian or Marcus Morris or Jordan Williams.

I think Atlanta will go for Keith Benson. They want to use Horford at the 4 and using Jordan Williams as a Center will be just like using Horford at the 5, not bad but they need some size and Benson is their guy.

I think Honeycutt will go higher than 23. He might go to Philly

Marcus will go before his brother Markieff but both will go in the first round

And I don’t think Chris Singleton will go in the first round. I think the Lakers might go with Walker to replace Fisher. I see him being a sleeper pick and LA takes advantage of him slipping.

Thats all I noticed.
