    Here is what teams should do this year if they were to draft to fill a specific need rather than draft BPA

    Atlanta- Good floor-general point man with experience

    Boston- Young, athletic wing that can take over for either Allen or Pierce in a few years

    Charlotte- A center that can compete both on O and on D 

    Chicago- Obiously a shooting guard who can play defense and shoot at the same time

    Dallas- A power forward who can score to be the heir apparent to Dirk

    Denver- A big time scoring wing to take over for Melo when he leaves

    Detroit- True point guard

    Golden State- Big defender who can play the 4/5 spot off the bench

    Houston- A center with shot-blocking ability

    Indiana- A power forward with range and a low-post game

    LA Clippers- Backup 4/5 guy that can provide minutes when Kaman leaves

    LA Lakers- Point guard of the future, I think Demetri Mccamey would fit well

    Memphis- A backup point guard to Conley who can get you 18 minutes a game

    Miami- A defensive-minded tough center

    Milwaukee- A forward who can actually put the ball in the basket

    Minnesota- First they need a commitment from Rubio, then they need a shooting guard of the future

    New Jersey- A wing who shoots high percentage and can make plays in transition

    New Orleans- A power forward of the future once DX leaves

    New York- Young center with athleticism and size

    Oklahoma City- A backup small forward who can also play the 2 and 4 if they go small

    Orlando- Big man. Space-eater in particular

    Philadelphia- A center

    Phoenix- A power forward who can turn into a franchise player

    Portland- Point guard of the future

    Sacramento- Point guard who will fit perfectly with reke

    San Antonio- Somebody youthful and useful at the 3 spot

    Toronto- A point guard to fill the shoes of the probably departing Calderon

    Utah- a big guy who can come off the bench due to Okur’s descent from stardom to old injured guy

    Washington- Small forward of the future

     One of the most well thought out posts on NBAdraft I have saw. I agree with almost all of these. Good job Mr. Taylor Condrin

    That is not Utah’s biggest need. That would help but its not their biggest need. Their biggest need is a 2 guard. They only have ONE true shooting guard. That would be Raja Bell, in my opinion he should sit because he is not looking that good. Yeah he plays great defense, but how many times are you gonna play the Lakers or the Mavs, or the Heat, or the Celtics. Like 12 times. Bell should only start those games because those are the 4 toughest teams and especially at the 2 guard. Bell should start those games so he can try and stop those 2 guards on those respective teams. But for the other 70 games he should be sitting because the Jazz need more offense. Not defense. They already have plenty. They need a jump start. Have you not noticed that practically every single game they start out slow? That’s why they are loosing so many games. Its not because of a lack of defense or a lack of rebounds but because they start out slow. Miles is their bench who gives the Jazz bench power, but Bell needs to sit becaue he is playing so weak. Once in awhile he has a good game, but once in a while isn’t good enough. It needs to be consistent especially if you are starting. The Jazz need a second option. Someone to rely on when Dwill is hurt or when he is being stopped. He can’t do it all and frankly he has too much weight being out on his shoulders right now. A big guy would not do that. It would help, but it wouldn’t solve the main problem: A second option. What they need is a 2 guard. Someone like Alec Burks, Jordan Hamilton or Tyler Honeycutt. (If they keep playing as bad as they are they will make the lottery and miss the playoffs, sad but true.)

    I feel like Charlotte don’t need a big man as much as they need a potential superstar wing to sell to the fans; Jackson isn’t the answer, and Wallace is a number 2 guy at best. They need a dominant SF or SG to be the face of the franchise, because Kwame isn’t doing that bad this year (never thought I’d write that haha) and he’s still only 9 years out of high school.

    Atlanta has a log jam with guards any way and even though they need a true point guard they would have to move some of the guards they already have like teague or crawford. I wanted Boston to pick James Anderson instead of Avery Bradley last year because of his similarities to Nate. Nice post.

    "LA Lakers- Point guard of the future, I think Demetri Mccamey would fit well"

    Perfect

     

    And the one for Utah is spot on as well. A big man is what keeps them from competing with the Lakers when they play them. Millsap is too small as well as Jefferson
