There are some really intiguing non profile players in this draft but i'm going to stick with only Profile players for this exercise.
1. Dallas Mavericks - This is the pick dirt has been waiting to make for awhile now. He doesn't have any longterm bigs and has some studs/future studs on the wing. But this is a no brainer pick no matter what is on your roster curently
LeBron James
SF
6-8

St. Vincent St. Mary High School (Ohio)
B+ C B B- B A
Lebron is the 2nd best player of all time and his profile was written pretty favorable on his outside shot. I think it will be a C or C-. Everything else will be B- or better with the strength being inside with his jumping/strength really driving that up.
2. Los Angeles Lakers - Looking at the lakers they really only have 1 major need atm SG. So Wade slots in nicely for them. They have the bigs going forward and I really like Miles. Silva will be nice as well
Dwyane Wad
SG
6-4
220
21
Marquette
B C C+ B C A
Wade should be Bron lite. He should have insane athletic attributes and a good inside. He should have a solid Jumper with no 3 point shot. That might make him a C- outside guy but he shouldn't worry about that. He might have some TO issues but he should have great steals .
3. Texas Chaparrals - Chap could go Darko, Melo , or Bosh. I think Chap is a Melo guy but he has some solid wings. I think he goes with Darko here adding a + Potential guy down low where he needs some more well rounded guys
Darko Milicic
C
7-0
275

KK Vrsac Swisslion (Serbia)
B- C+ C C+ C+ A
Darko should be a high potential guy with a very good Jumper and decent 3 point shot. He will likely have lowish handles with good passing. Should have decent athletic attributes . Will need to work on strength and rebounding but Could be a Klove big on offense.
4. Cleveland Cavaliers - The Cavs are in full rebuild after getting fucked by Pete. They have 1 longterm guy but it sounds like he's on the move. They need to go with the highest upside guy here and I think they are the perfect fit for Melo here
Carmelo Anthony
SF
6-8
240
19
Syracuse
B+ C+ D+ D C+ A
Melo kind of looks like a more advanced Glenn Robinson. He should have great scoring grades , with little to no defense. His rebounding should be decent. Chance to be another Martell Webster type of players. Solid pickup for Sap.
5. Milwaukee Bucks - The Bucks don't really know what they're doing. Trying to acquire talent and assets for the MJ draft they would probably go BPA here. PG is probably not a take for them here
Chris Bosh
PF
6-11
235
19
Georgia Tech
B- C C C+ C+ A
Bosh reads like he needs a lot of help but should have good potential to help him get there. He needs to add alot of strength but should have good handles and a jumpshot to help him get there. Blocks should be decent as well.
6. Portland Trailblazers - The blazers spent some $ this offseason shoring up the frontcourt and adding a Max SG to the roster. They need depth and I don't love Burke at PG. They could go David West but I think they opt for a PG here.
Mo Williams
PG
6-1
198
20
Alabama
C+ B- B+ C- C- B
Mo should have a maxed out jumpshot and decent 3's putting him close to a B rating. I think he's a guy that can get to C+ A- after initial upgrades. Should have good handles and passing out of the gates. I think this would be a good fit for the blazers.
7. Atlanta Hawks - The Hawks have some guards but really nothing downlow. They need to go with a Big here so I think they go with David West here . They could also change things up and go with another PG here as well.
David West
PF
6-9
250
22
Xavier
B C C- B- B- C
Should be good out of the box. Not going to wow you or anything but should be a fairly efficient big . He should have high boards on the defensive side with the O boards needing help . He won't block a ton of shots but should be formidable there.
8. Chicago Stags - The stags will go BPA via grades like they always do. They have plenty of bigs on the roster. I could see them going Tj ford but he's not a profile player. I think they will end up taking Josh Howard
Josh Howard
SF
6-7
210
23
Wake Forest
B- C C B C+ B
Josh Howard should be a well rounded player. He's likely not going to be dominant on offense but he will bring good defense and a decent jumpshot. He will probably have around 70 pot with some decent room for growth.
9. New York Knicks - The Knicks are over the cap but I will still make a pick for him. They have a fairly loaded roster but some spots are aging. The are the perfect spot for Kyle Korver imo.
Kyle Korver
SG
6-7
212
22
Creighton
C A- C C C C
The grades don't look sexy and I really wish he was a SF(he should be a SF) to make him more intriguing as a prospect. He should be able to hit A+ outside and hopefully he doesn't struggle from Klay syndrome. I think this will be a good pick for Ank .
10. Pittsburg Pipers - The Pipers lost PJR this offseason and seem to be trying to unload some long term deals to acquire picks. They need another big, and they are fortunate that bigs are really the only thing left here.
Kendrick Perkins

Ozen High School (Texas)
B- D C- C+ C+ A
He should have decentish inside for a HS big . Solid defensively other than blocks. With have a really low jumpshot , and will likely come with the standard 91 potential for a teen . Won't be an immediate starter but could be something down the road.
