NBA DRAFT 2013: The Invisible StarsThis years draft was very stocked with quality players. It's very hard to say that each team will get a star but its easy to say that each team will get the player they needed. We wont know whose the star till years from this draft.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
1.
Toronto Raptors Select Nerlens Noel, Center/Forward, KentuckyNot surprising at all since he was the projected number one pick. He draws comparisons to Larry Sanders who has become a premier shot blocker in this league. Its a mystery to how the raptors will use him with a lineup consisting of Lowry-Derozan-Gay-Bargnani-Valanciunas. This is the best pick toronto could have gone with
2.
Charlotte Hornets Select Cody Zeller, Forward/Center, Indiana This selection gives the hornets a big man that can actually play the post. He will have to battle Haywood and Biyombo out for their spot but i see Cody doing that with ease.
3.
Orlando Magic Select Anthonny Bennett, Forward, UNLV
Can't have to much forwards right? This selection might spell the end for Hedo Turkoglu's tenure with the Orlando Magic. Anthony Bennett is a bit of tweener but with this team will most likely bounce around both forward positions. Bennett brings rebounding aplenty to this team.
4.
Boston Celtics Select Shabazz Muhammad, Small Forward, UCLAPaul Pierce say hello to your apprentice. At the beginning of the year shabazz was recalled as one of the best in the draft but recent shooting woes drop caused teams to doubt his overall ability as well. He wil develop into a fine player under Doc Rivers
5.
Detroit Pistons Select Dario Saric,Small Forward, Croatia The Pistons are desperately trying garner some magic from the draft with this selection. Its a bit of a reach because he is not used to the style of american ball and because he is seen as the more developmental pick. He can become a young Peja when he develops
6.
Memphis Grizzlies Select Otto Porter, Small Forward, GeorgetownGrizzlies look to replace Gay with a young forward who has a similar play style. With veteran Tayshaun Prince already in place look for Otto hear to learn a lot from the old timer.
7.
Brooklyn Nets Select Ben Mclemore, Shooting Guard, KansasPresumably the best guard in the draft the nets get a steal because he shouldve been taken higher in the draft. The only downside to this pick is Brooklyn's rotation. Where does Mclemore fit with Joe Johnson and Marshon Brooks?
8.
Phoenix Suns Select Steven Adams, Center, PittsburghA perfect fit for the backup center position. Steven Adams brings a lot of tools to the table for the suns to exploit. He will need to add some muscle in the wait room to endure the pain of the post.
9.
Utah Jazz Select Deshaun Thomas, Small Forward, Ohio StateSleeper.....
Thomas has some skills that need to be developed but when they are he can be very deadly in this league
10.
Portland Trail Blazers Select Dennis Schroeder, Point Guard, GermanyAdds much needed to the backcourt of Damien Lillard and Wesley Matthews. With Nolan Smith not being brought back to the team dennis fits right in.
11.
New Orleans Pelicans Select Rudy Gobert, Center/Power Forward, FranceThis selection spells the end for Robin Lopez and his starting position. Robin Lopez is solid but he is only solid when coming off of the bench. Rudy Gobert adds needed toughness and a inside presence for a big man depleted team.
12.
Dallas Mavericks Select Michael Carter-Williams, Point Guard, SyracuseMavs added a much needed point guard that can command the team. Michael will need to show to Mavs that he is ready to command the team and take Collisons spot as the starter.
13.
Cleveland Cavaliers Select Trey Burke, Point Guard, MichiganEven though Burke was regarded as the best PG in the draft im questioning the selection for the cavs. Their most glaring need was a Small Forward with versatility
14.
Los Angeles Clippers Select Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Shooting Guard, GeorgiaExcellent pick as Pope adds much needed slashing ability to the depleted Clippers.
15.
Atlanta Hawks Select Victor Oladipo, Shooting Guard, IndianaProjected to go a plethora of spots before this pick, defensive specialist finds a nice home in atlanta. He is expected to take the role that deshawn stevenson had on this team the previous season.
16.
Atlanta Hawks Select Gorgui Dieng, Center, LouisvillePoor mans Larry Sanders or a Rich Mans Dwight Howard. Depending on his development Dieng can become a solid center in this league.
17.
TRADE San Antonio Trades 1st Round Pick #17 and Nando De Colo for Cleveland Cavaliers Trey Burke and 2nd round pick #12
Cleveland Selects Mike Muscala, Center, Bucknell18.
Indiana Pacers Select Shane Larkin, Point Guard, MiamiThis selection gives the pacers depth in their backcourt pending the departure of Dj Augustin. Shane Larkin will fit in with 2nd unit and gel quickly in the pacers organization
19.
Milwaukee Bucks Select Myck Kabongo, Point Guard, TexasBrandon Jennings say hello to your replacement.
20.
Minnesota Timberwolves Select Alex Len, Center, MarylandWith the pending departure of Nikola Pekovic almost Inevitable the timberwolves look to replace him with a solid big man with decent game that can develop into the next star center in the future
21.
Denver Nuggets Select Allen Crabbe, Shooting Guard, CaliforniaCrabbe is a decent shooter and a above average competitor that can bring out the best of the 2nd unit of the Nuggets
22.
New York Knicks Select Ray McCallum, Point Guard, Detroit23.
Washington Wizards Select Tony Mitchell, Forward, Georgia TechA much needed depth selection here for the wizards. Wizards have no depth outside this first round pick selection.
24.
Sacramento Kings Select Assandro Gentile, Small Forward, Italy25.
Los Angeles Lakers Select Reggie BullockBye Bye Ron Artest oh i mean Metta.
26.
Golden State Warriors Select Glen Rice Jr. Shooting Guard, Georgia TechSon of former NBA great Glen Rice, plays similar to his dad so look to expect greatness
27.
Philadelphia 76ers Select CJ Mcollum Shooting Guard, Lehigh28.
Chicago Bulls Select Sergey Karassev Shooting Guard, RussiaTime to give old Rip Hamilton legs a rest
29.
Oklahoma City Thunder Select Kelly OIynyk, GonzagaLet the nice hair in a thunder uniform era begin
30.
Miami Heat Select Mason Plumlee, Forward/Center, DukeHe may not be a traditional center but he has the potential to transform into one for the Miami Heat.
Look forward to the draft
