i like Hassan Adams a lot but i don't see him on this team, but then again who knows what the team is going to look like so you never know

Adams plays D but is 6'3"/6"4

answer your own question Bonnie... seriously. Book mark this and take a look around draft day. I guarentee its light years from being right

I was just asking if it was an accurate assessment of what most experts are thinking *right now.* I wasn't claiming that the spots would stay the same by draft night. I was more curious whether nbadraft.net was accurate or whether they're inconsistent with most experts in thinking that *right now* there are sixteen and twenty-four players better than Hilton Armstrong and Josh Boone, respectively.

Jokim Noah is my #1 right now.. very complete player with size and athleticism. Draftexpress is a little more accurate.

Really? I saw Noah only once and he had a great game. But I didn't think he had the strength or athleticism that would translate into anything beyond adequate role player in the NBA. I saw him only once, though.

I guess the draftnet rankings probably were an accurate reflection of what the experts currently think. Hoopshype and draft express both Hilton going @ 18 and Boone not drafted in the 1st rd. If Hilton ends up being available in the late teens, I'd love to move up a few spots to grab him.

I agree, Noah reminds me of Brian Grant. I think he will be effective in his early years but slow down alot. This is such a weak draft. I can't remember the last time you seen so many seniors with a chance to get into the 1st round.
