2010 NBA Draft

I haven't done as much work in my research this year as usual but I still have my preferences.

With the 4th pick in the draft the Wolves sit in what I consider a bad spot for their needs. Obviously John Wall is the consensus #1 and we've long had our eye on Evan Turner so falling out of the top 2 hurts. But Derrick Favors is actually my 2nd favorite (behind Wall) of this draft. He's roughly the same build and athlete that Blake Griffin was this time last year but getting half the hype.

Wes Johnson would be a nice consolation prize as he's an uber athlete who can shoot well -- a rare combination.

With that said here is the list of guys that are my favorites:

John Wall
Evan Turner
Derrick Favors
Wes Johnson
Gordon Hayward
**Daniel Orton
Luke Babbitt
Xavier Henry
**Willie Warren
**Jordan Crawford


** = Sleepers

Let's see

While I think Cousins could come away as the best player in this draft I also think he has the highest bust potential. So while I do think the Wolves take him that only increases the probability that he busts. So he's on my bust list :P
