My top 3, excluding Williams:

3. Yao Ming, 7-5, 283, Shanghai Sharks: A perimeter big man. There has been a great deal of intrigue about him for several years, but many consider him a better version of Shawn Bradley. If he falls to the Bulls, look for a trade. Dallas would love him. Michael Finley would fit well with Jalen Rose and Tyson Chandler.
4. Drew Gooden, 6-10, 230, jr., Kansas: He needs to get stronger, not unusual with college players. But he's close to a classic power forward because of his size. Soft shooting touch, good low-post moves and quick. Also a good jumper.
15. Chris Wilcox, 6-10, 230, soph., Maryland: Good, strong athlete who should handle himself in the NBA immediately on power, if not know-how. Not a very good shooter.

I also like Amare Stoudemire.

9. Amare Stoudamire, 6-9, 240, sr., Cypress Creek (Fla.) High School: Mercifully, not much of a high school class this year. He's probably the only one in the first round, an extremely tough kid.

And also, talk about Camby being a stick, Camby looks like Shaq against this guy:
10. Nikoloz Tskitishvili, 6-11, 210. 6 ft. 11 and 210. Good god...

If Nikoloz Tskitishvili declares we should draft him, period. Although I do like the raw athletic power of Wilcox and he'll be a great forward someday Nikoloz Tskitishvili is a Pau Gasol lookalike in every aspect, he might even be better.

I can't see him coming out this year because i'm not even sure if he's old enough. I thought he was only 17 or just turning 18 or something like that. If he came out it would be a huge gamble to take him, even bigger than Ming, but at least him coming out would get us a better pick because that much more depth would be in this year's draft.
