The Football Fan Spot

1. Sacramento Kings- PG John Wall (Kentucky)

The Kings didn’t get better in the offseason. They drafted a nice project in Tyreke Evans, but I think he’ll prove to be more of a shooting guard than a point guard. They need someone to handle the rock and control the offense. Wall is drawing comparisons left and right to Derrick Rose, the 2008-2009 Rookie of the Year.

2. Utah Jazz (via NYK)- PF/C Greg Monroe (Georgetown)

Carlos Boozer is back for another year, but he’s a free agent this offseason and will likely test what should be a free agent friendly market. They traded their insurance option in Paul Millsap so they need another one. Monroe is the best big man on the board and Jerry Sloan will love his versatility.

3. Milwaukee Bucks- PF/C Ed Davis (North Carolina)

Scott Skiles will want to acquire that tough interior presence his team lacks right now. Davis needs some work offensively, but the Bucks can score points in bunches right now. They need interior toughness.

4. Minnesota Timberwolves- G Willie Warren (Oklahoma)

Despite having 4 picks, they did not draft a perimeter score to replace Randy Foye. Warren is a tough NBA ready perimeter scorer with huge upside.

5. Memphis Grizzles- F Derrick Favors (Georgia Tech)

Zach Randolph, as much as he scores, is not a winner. They need to let him ride out his contract and then leave. Favors is a nice power forward project behind him that can provide defense and versatility off the bench, two things Randolph lacks.

6. Charlotte Bobcats- PF Patrick Patterson (Kentucky)

They have Boris Diaw and Tyson Chandler in the frontcourt, but lack a tough interior scoring presence. Patterson can fill that void. Plus, we all know Michael Jordan likes to draft big name, big school college players. That is what Patterson is.

7. Golden State Warriors- SF Evan Turner (Ohio State)

Turner is a scorer and a shooter, but he also plays tough defense and rebounds. He can be a long term replacement to Stephen Jackson if they decide to trade him.

8. New Jersey Nets- SF Al-Faruoq Aminu (Wake Forest)

They need to replace Bobby Simmons at small forward. Aminu is versatile and the complete small forward package.

9. Indiana Pacers- C Cole Aldrich (Kansas)

They lack that tough interior shot blocker. Aldrich is a great shot blocker and has a nice tough around the rim.

10. Houston Rockets- SG Jerrico White (Mississippi)

They have good supporting pieces, but lack a star, unless Tracy McGrady can return to form. White is a great scorer and has more upside than anyone on the board.
