Draft order if season ended today. Almost used the ESPN Lottery Machine to get a randomized lottery order. It's been 9 days since the last one.

I should mention that some of the picks took into account future free agent moves and free agents in general.

For instance, I expect Dwight Howard to leave Orlando which is why a big man was picked. Same thing with Memphis and OJ Mayo. Some teams are just plain hard to pick for. Three of those teams being Denver, Indiana, and Philadelphia. Miami is also kinda hard to pick for as is Oklahoma City but I kinda have an idea of where they might be looking. The draft is a crap shoot as well all know so some of these guys probably will be picked and then dealt somewhere else for money or future picks.

If you have questions about a pick, just ask.

Clearly, Anthony Davis and Andre Drummond are better prospects than Harrison Barnes, but given the Bobcats' struggles to score, lack of a great wing player, and the selection of a defensive stopper in Biyombo this past draft, do you think Charlotte would be more inclined to take Barnes at 1? There's also MJ's infamous nepotism to consider.

Also, should the Bobcats select Davis, how does such a frontcourt function on the offensive side of the ball? Of course, teams would struggle to score inside against the length of Biyombo and Davis, but which of them is going to score. I have my doubts about Davis' offensive game.

If Quincy Miller declares and isn't picked in the top 10, he'll be the biggest steal in the draft for whoever picks him. So much talent and potential. He's the most intriguing player in this draft to me.
