ATLANTA HAWKS
James Anderson	G-F	6-6	3/25/89	Last team: San Antonio
Failed to crack the rotation in San Antonio for the most part. Second chance in Atlanta.
Keith Benson	F	6-10	8/13/88	Last team: Golden State
Was drafted by the Hawks, but didn’t make the opening day roster last season.
Damion James	F	6-7	10/07/87	Last team: Brooklyn
Doesn’t create much on the offensive end, but can be effective defensively.
Carldell Johnson	G	5-10	1/28/83	Last team: Austin Toros
Super quick point guard that focuses on creating for others.
Mike Scott	F	6-8	7/16/88	Last team: Virginia
The team’s second-round pick. Rebounding is his calling card. Likely to stick around.
BOSTON CELTICS
Dionte Christmas	G	6-5	9/15/86	Last team: Houston
Nice stats with the Celtics in summer league play.
Micah Downs	F	6-8	9/08/86	Last team: Novgorod
Dunk happy forward with good percentages from three-point land.
Kris Joseph	F	6-7	12/17/88	Last team: Syracuse
Explosive forward. Has the talent, but needs to be more consistent.
Rob Kurz	F	6-9	5/03/85	Last team: Nancy
Played 40 games for the Warriors in the 2008-09 season.
Jamar Smith	G	6-3	1/05/85	Last team: Prostejov
Averaged 14.9 ppg in the Czech League last year.
BROOKLYN NETS
Andray Blatche	F	6-11	8/22/86	Last team: Washington
Got amnestied by the Wizards during the summer. Wake-up call for the talented and frustrating power forward?
Josh Childress	F	6-8	6/20/83	Last team: Phoenix
His career has gone south since he returned from Greece. A virtual lock to make the team, anyway.
Stephen Dennis	G	6-6	10/02/87	Last team: Braunschweig
Will probably be back in the D-League this season.
James Mays	F	6-9	3/03/86	Last team: Capitanes de Arecibo
A globetrotter. Has spent time in Turkey, China and Puerto Rico.
Carleton Scott	F	6-8	10/09/88	Last team: Carefuel
Played in Austria. Doesn’t stand much of a chance.
CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
Jeff Adrien	F	6-7	2/10/86	Last team: Khimi Moscow
Physical forward that has been part of strong European teams. Will make good money overseas if not in the NBA.
Paris Horne	G	6-3	8/06/87	Last team: Goettingen
Averaged 5.7 ppg in the summer league with the Bobcats.
Josh Owens	F	6-8	7/12/88	Last team: Stanford

Played well in the D-League, signed a 10-day contract with the Nets and averaged 28 ppg in Lebanon last season.

European career started well with Strasbourg of France.
Kelenna Azubuike	G	6-5	12/16/83	Last team: Cleveland

Micheal Eric	C	6-11	6/24/88	Last team: Temple
Nigerian big man with good rebounding skills.
Luke Harangody	F	6-8	1/02/87	Last team: Cleveland
Very limited skillset. Three-point shooting and hustle have kept him in the league so far.
Kevin Jones	F	6-8	8/28/89	Last team: West Virginia
Outstanding numbers with the Mountaineers. One of the best players to go undrafted in 2012. Should make the team.
Jeremy Pargo	G	6-2	3/07/86	Last team: Memphis
Much was expected of him following a terrific year with Maccabi. Didn’t deliver in Memphis. Second NBA chance for him in Cleveland.

Put up sensational numbers with the Kings in Vegas.
Tu Holloway	G	6-0	8/21/89	Last team: Xavier
Great college career at Xavier was not enough to be drafted.

Still terrible on the offensive size, but has size and plays hard.
DENVER NUGGETS
Julyan Stone	G	6-6	12/07/88	Last team: Denver
George Karl is on the record saying he could be a backup point guard in the NBA. Good size for the position.
DETROIT PISTONS
Jonny Flynn	G	6-0	2/06/89	Last team: Portland
Was selected ahead of Stephen Curry, Brandon Jennings and Ty Lawson in 2009. Has been a bust so far.
Terrence Williams	G-F	6-6	6/28/87	Last team: Sacramento
Fourth team in three years for a 2009 first-round pick? Can’t be about skill.
GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS
Kent Bazemore	G	6-5	7/01/89	Last team: Old Dominion
Showed enough in Las Vegas to get a contract. Nice defensive player.
Carlon Brown	G	6-5	10/04/89	Last team: Colorado

Lacks height, but has a great body and plays physical. Will stick around for a while in the NBA if not with the Rockets.
Kyle Fogg	G	6-3	1/27/90	Last team: Arizona
Good potential as a defender. D-League stint like in his future.
Scott Machado	G	6-1	6/08/90	Last team: Iona
Probably the most surprising omission in the last draft. Led the NCAA in assists.
Demetri McCamey	G	6-3	2/21/89	Last team: Hapoel Jerusalem
Point guard that looks to score first. Has played in Turkey and Israel.
Greg Smith	C	6-10	1/08/91	Last team: Houston
Very physical big man. A victim of the numbers game?
INDIANA PACERS
Blake Ahearn	G	6-2	5/27/84	Last team: Utah
Excellent shooter that should have no problem getting a good contract overseas if he’s cut in training camp.
Sundiata Gaines	G	6-1	4/18/86	Last team: Brooklyn
Didn’t have a good year with the lowly Nets. Has a small cult following ever since he hit that game-winning three vs. Cleveland.
Ben Hansbrough	G	6-3	12/23/87	Last team: Krka Novo Mesto
Tyler’s brother. Has carved himself a nice career in Europe.
Luke Nevill	C	7-2	2/19/86	Last team: Perth Wildcats
Couldn’t make the Australian Olympic team even though Andrew Bogut and Nathan Jawai were absent.
Sam Young	G-F	6-6	6/01/85	Last team: Philadelphia
High-energy player that brings a spark off the bench… on the defensive end.

Travis Leslie	G	6-4	3/29/90	Last team: LA Clippers
Saw more action in the D-League than the NBA during his rookie year.
Trey Thompkins	F	6-10	5/29/90	Last team: LA Clippers
Big man with range up to three-point land. Got very limited playing time last season.

Ronnie Aguilar	C	7-1	6/24/87	Last team: Bakersfield Jam
Very tall, but no discernible skill aside from shot-blocking.
Reeves Nelson	F	6-8	9/18/91	Last team: UCLA
His problems at UCLA have been well-chronicled. Redemption could start at Lakers’ camp.
Robert Sacre	C	7-0	6/06/89	Last team: Gonzaga
The last pick of the 2012 draft. Very strong, but not that athletic.
Greg Somogyi	C	7-3	10/01/89	Last team: California-Santa Barbara
Probably just a big body for training camp practices.
MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES

Played in the same high school as Kevin Garnett.
Ronald Dupree	F	6-6	1/26/81	Last team: Imola

Jamaican center that didn’t get much of an opportunity in New York.

Got a call-up from the D-League last season. Likely to start the season there again.

Must prove he’s more than just an elite athlete.
Robert Dozier	F	6-9	11/06/85	Last team: Cholet
A Miami second-round pick in 2009. Terrific wingspan.
Mickell Gladness	C	6-11	7/26/86	Last team: Golden State
Surprisingly made the Heat roster last fall. Can he pull it off again?
Josh Harrellson	C	6-10	2/12/89	Last team: New York
Was able to showcase his good outside shooting in New York in limited minutes. Great fit in Miami.
Terrel Harris	G	6-4	8/10/87	Last team: Miami
Played 10 minutes in the Heat’s championship run and got himself a ring.
Dexter Pittman	C	6-10	3/02/88	Last team: Miami
Miami has been patiently waiting for him to deliver. Running out of chances.
Garrett Temple	G	6-6	5/08/86	Last team: Casale
Has been a fringe NBA player for a while now. Stints with Houston, Sacramento, San Antonio, Milwaukee and Charlotte.
Jarvis Varnado	F-C	6-9	3/01/88	Last team: Virtus Roma
Huge wingspan. Tremendous shot blocker. Will not score at the NBA level.

High quality player in the D-League that has not quite managed to stick with a team in the NBA.

Comes off an excellent season in the Belgian League. Has a shot.
John Shurna	F	6-8	4/30/90	Last team: Northwestern
Shot 43 percent from three at Northwestern in 2011-12. The second coming of Steve Novak?

Chris Smith	G	6-2	10/13/87	Last team: Louisville
Doesn’t have his brother’s size, but three-point shooting prowess is definitely there.

Son of NBA great Mychal Thompson. Made the Cavs’ opening day roster last season.
James White	F	6-7	11/21/82	Last team: Scavolini Pesaro

Didn’t look like he belong in his year with the Knicks. Disappointing performance in Spain last season.

ORLANDO MAGIC

Nice numbers in the Israeli League, but that won’t help him make the team.
Wesley Witherspoon	F	6-9	1/27/90	Last team: University of Memphis
Did a little bit of everything in Memphis. Camp experience could be worthy for the future.
TORONTO RAPTORS
Alan Anderson	F-G	6-6	10/16/82	Last team: Toronto
Finished last season with the Raptors. Illustrious career in Europe.
Jamaal Magloire	C	6-11	5/21/78	Last team: Toronto

WASHINGTON WIZARDS
Earl Barron	C	7-0	8/14/81	Last team: Atleticos de San German
The Wizards will be Barron’s 20th team since he turned pro in 2003. A true journeyman.
Brian Cook	F	6-9	12/04/80	Last team: Washington
A stretch four that has shot 38 percent from beyond the arc throughout his career. May be looking at his last contract in the NBA.
Steven Gray	G	6-5	4/08/89	Last team: Ventspils
A very long shot to make the team. Averaged 7.3 ppg in summer league with Washington.
Shavlik Randolph	F	6-10	11/24/83	Last team: Piratas de Quebradillas
Didn’t live up to expectations in college, but decent pro career so far. In and out of the NBA all the time.

[Jr. ROXASParticipant]

 Hope kent bazemore makes it to the team. He has the potential to be a good defensive stopper in the nba. i watched one of his summer league games against the bulls and he had like 7 blocks then, for a guard that’s really impressive

[JoeWolf1]

I like Bazemore too, he has the potential to find a nitch in the league as a defensive specialist.  I hope he gets on somewhere to start the season.

[KanyEvil27Participant]

 What happened to Drew Gordon? He was in about every 2nd round mock draft and was seen rarerly in the end of the 1st round mocks.
