Round Two leaves a lot of people out
By Chad Ford
Almost everyone in the NBA agrees that this may be the deepest draft in the last 20 years. With so many college underclassmen, high school seniors and international players keeping their names in this year, there are literally 30 more players who could actually make the NBA next season – especially with the new minor league set to take off.
Pay attention closely to the second round. Many of these players would have been late first-rounders in past drafts, and several of them have the potential to be very good players.
31. ATLANTA HAWKS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Monta Ellis[/font]
LANIER (Miss.) | H.S. | GUARD
HEIGHT: 6-3 | WEIGHT: 176 | AGE: 19Ellis could very well go in the first round, but if he's still on the board, the Hawks will jump on him – especially if they don't get a guard in round one. Ellis has a ton of talent, but he's probably years away. Could be the second coming of Chauncey Billups.
32. LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Nate Robinson[/font]
WASHINGTON | JUNIOR | GUARD
HEIGHT: 5-8 | WEIGHT: 180 | AGE: 21Robinson will get a look from both the Suns and the Pistons, but if he slips, he won't last long. He'd be great on an up-tempo team like the Clippers, which has two big point guards in Shaun Livingston and Marko Jaric, and could afford to play Robinson at the two.
33. NEW ORLEANS HORNETS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Ryan Gomes[/font]
PROVIDENCE | SENIOR | SMALL FORWARD
HEIGHT: 6-8 | WEIGHT: 250 | AGE: 22Gomes also is in the mix with Detroit and San Antonio, but if he slips, it's hard to see him getting by the Hornets, who are desperate for a versatile small forward like Gomes.
Scouting report on Ryan Gomes
34. UTAH JAZZ [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]David Lee[/font]
FLORIDA | SENIOR | POWER FORWARD
HEIGHT: 6-9 | WEIGHT: 230 | AGE: 22The Jazz could go a number of ways here, but it would be tough to pass on Lee – the most athletic power forward at the Chicago combine.
35. PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Mile Ilic[/font]
SERBIA | CENTER
HEIGHT: 7-1 | WEIGHT: 240 | AGE: 21The Blazers have been high on Ilic and can afford to leave him in Europe for the next few years and let him continue to develop over there.
36. MILWAUKEE BUCKS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Jason Maxiell[/font]
CINCINNATI | SENIOR | POWER FORWARD
HEIGHT: 6-7 | WEIGHT: 260 | AGE: 22The Bucks get the finesse with Bogut and the ferocity with Maxiell, the strongest and most aggressive big man in the draft. He's undersized, but next to Bogut, he'll be just fine.
37. LOS ANGELES LAKERS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Dwayne Jones[/font]
SAINT JOSEPH'S | JUNIOR | CENTER
HEIGHT: 6-10 | WEIGHT: 242 | AGE: 22Jones is a little undersized to play center, but he's long and a great shot blocker, things the Lakers could really use.
38. ORLANDO MAGIC [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Matt Walsh[/font]
FLORIDA | JUNIOR. | SHOOTING GUARD
HEIGHT: 6-7 | WEIGHT: 205 | AGE: 22If Walsh doesn't go to Miami at No. 28, he won't last too long in the second round. One of the draft's best shooters will help the Magic with their perimeter woes.
39. LOS ANGELES LAKERS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Axel Hervelle[/font]
BELGIUM | POWER FORWARD
HEIGHT: 6-9 | WEIGHT: 230 | AGE: 22Hervelle has picked up the rep as the Dennis Rodman of Europe for his glass-cleaning skills. This is a down-the-road pick who could develop nicely over time.
40. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Brandon Bass[/font]
LSU | SOPHOMORE | POWER FORWARD
HEIGHT: 6-7 | WEIGHT: 240 | AGE: 20Bass would be a mid-first rounder if he were a little taller. The big man does a little of everything. Good rebounder with an improving perimeter game.
41. TORONTO RAPTORS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]C.J. Miles[/font]
SKYLINE HIGH | H.S. | SHOOTING GUARD
HEIGHT: 6-6 | WEIGHT: 210 | AGE: 18Miles has a few interested parties in the first round (like Denver) but chances are he slips a little bit. He's the type of kid who did everything well, but nothing great – in high school in Dallas. A project who could pay off big with a little patience.
42. GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Deji Akindele[/font]
CHICAGO STATE | SOPHOMORE | CENTER
HEIGHT: 6-11 | WEIGHT: 240 | AGE: 22He was horrible at the Chicago predraft camp, but teams are still intrigued by his strength and size. He is a long term project who will likely spend the next two years playing in the D league.
43. NEW JERSEY NETS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Lucas Tischer[/font]
BRAZIL | FORWARD-CENTER
HEIGHT: 6-10 | WEIGHT: 270 | AGE: 22The mysterious Brazilian has shocked the teams he's worked out for with his athleticism. He's still very raw offensively, but given his size and athletic ability, worth a reach at this point in the draft. Another likely D leaguer.
44. ORLANDO MAGIC [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Randolph Morris[/font]
KENTUCKY | FRESHMAN | CENTER
HEIGHT: 6-10 | WEIGHT: 250 | AGE: 20Morris will get some consideration in the later first round, but slipping this far isn't inconceivable. He's a little undersized, lacks athleticism and is a long way away from helping anyone. The Magic are starved for centers, so they'll take a risk.
45. PHILADELPHIA 76ERS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Sean Banks[/font]
MEMPHIS | SOPHOMORE | SMALL FORWARD
HEIGHT: 6-7 | WEIGHT: 206 | AGE: 19Last year, he was a lottery pick. This year, he's a steal if he can get his act together. Had a big performance in Chicago and is a prototypical small forward prospect.
46. INDIANA PACERS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Kennedy Winston[/font]
ALABAMA | JUNIOR | GUARD-FORWARD
HEIGHT: 6-6 | WEIGHT: 230 | AGE: 20One of the better shooters in the draft may slip a little bit. Still, he can stroke it which could help the Pacers replace what they're losing with Reggie Miller.
47. MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Mickaël Gelebale[/font]
FRANCE | SMALL FORWARD
HEIGHT: 6-7 | WEIGHT: 210 | AGE: 22This athletic swingman really started to develop in Real Madrid this season. The Wolves can leave him overseas, and in a year or two he could be an impact player for Minnesota.
Scouting report on Mickaël Gelebale
48. SEATTLE SONICS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Angelo Gigli[/font]
ITALY | FORWARD
HEIGHT: 7-0 | WEIGHT: 210 | AGE: 22The Italian big man is a decent athlete who showed some surprising perimeter skills. Sonics can keep him overseas to develop.
49. WASHINGTON WIZARDS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Ronny Turiaf[/font]
GONZAGA | SENIOR | POWER FORWARD
HEIGHT: 6-9 | WEIGHT: 240 | AGE: 22The Wizards need toughness in the paint and that's something Turiaf can provide. With Kwame Brown heading into free agency, he could actually get some minutes next season.
50. BOSTON CELTICS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Linas Kleiza[/font]
MISSOURI | SOPHOMORE | FORWARD
HEIGHT: 6-8 | WEIGHT: 220 | AGE: 20Kleiza will actually get a serious look by several teams in the first round. He's very skilled, but just doesn't quite have a position. He's convinced some NBA executives that he might be able to make the switch to the three in the pros. He has a Lithuanian passport which means the Celtics can send him overseas for seasoning for a few years.
51. UTAH JAZZ [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Marcin Gortat[/font]
POLAND | CENTER
HEIGHT: 7-0 | WEIGHT: 230 | AGE: 21Gortat is actually one of the more athletic centers in the draft. He's still raw, but has a lot of upside. Utah would likely leave him in Germany for a year or two.
Scouting report on Marcin Gortat
52. DENVER NUGGETS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Salim Stoudamire[/font]
ARIZONA | SENIOR | SHOOTING GUARD
HEIGHT: 6-1 | WEIGHT: 180 | AGE: 23The best shooter in the draft slips because of attitude and size issues. Denver really needs him. They also like Milan Majstorovic and Ian Mahinmi a lot and could go that route if Stoudamire is off the board.
53. BOSTON CELTICS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Rawle Marshall[/font]
OAKLAND | SENIOR | SHOOTING GUARD
HEIGHT: 6-6 | WEIGHT: 186 | AGE: 23He's long, athletic and he's learned how to shoot. A real draft sleeper who could help the Celtics down the road after a stint in the D league.
54. NEW YORK KNICKS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]John Gilchrist[/font]
MARYLAND | JUNIOR | POINT GUARD
HEIGHT: 6-3 | WEIGHT: 195 | AGE: 21Gilchrist was considered a first-rounder before blowing it this year. He repaired some of the damage with a very nice performance in Chicago. He has good size and toughness for the position and should remind Isiah a little of Stephon Marbury.
55. SEATTLE SONICS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Amir Johnson[/font]
WESTCHESTER HIGH | H.S. | POWER FORWARD
HEIGHT: 6-9 | WEIGHT: 210 | AGE: 18An athletic power forward from Los Angeles who should've gone to college, but he didn't have the grades and was forced into the draft. He's long, athletic and very raw. Would be a nice pick here to go and do his thing in the D league for another couple of years.
56. DETROIT PISTONS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Anthony Roberson[/font]
FLORIDA | JUNIOR | GUARD
HEIGHT: 6-3 | WEIGHT: 170 | AGE: 22Roberson doesn't really have a position, but he's tough and has a nice stroke.
57. PHOENIX SUNS
DUKE | SENIOR | GUARD
HEIGHT: 6-3 | WEIGHT: 185 | AGE: 22The Suns are looking for someone who can run the floor, play defense and relieve Steve Nash for a few minutes every night. Ewing's far from a pure point guard, but he should be able to push it up the floor, shoot and defend.
Scouting report on Daniel Ewing
58. TORONTO RAPTORS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Travis Diener[/font]
MARQUTTE | SENIOR | POINT GUARD
HEIGHT: 6-1 | WEIGHT: 165 | AGE: 23He's a fiery competitor who can stroke it and play the point.
59. ATLANTA HAWKS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Will Bynum[/font]
GEORGIA TECH | SENIOR | GUARD
HEIGHT: 6-0 | WEIGHT: 188 | AGE: 22Is he a point guard? Probably not. But he's a fantastic athlete who defends, is super quick and really tough.
60. DETROIT PISTONS [font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Alan Anderson[/font]
MICHIGAN STATE | SENIOR | SHOOTING GUARD
HEIGHT: 6-6 | WEIGHT: 220 | AGE: 22He was a star in Chicago because of his ability to get to the line and score. He defends and is the type of player the Pistons like. Too bad he can't shoot.
