Bayless will be a good player if they keep him but he could be part of the package they are trying to deal, along with either Travis Outlaw or Martell Webster and Channing Frye. Sacramento Kings: D; Jason Thompson, Sean Singletary, Patrick Ewing Jr.The Kings gave everyone the Lil’ Jon “WWWWWHAT” moment of the draft when they took Thompson. Batum will be a project overseas but could come in and fill the SF spot in a couple years.It would’ve been nice if the Blazers took someone at that spot that could play right away, but they are likely to fill that position with a veteran player of the caliber of a Corey Maggette. Bayless gives them a good backup at SG and can play some point guard if needed. The Blazers made five trades during the draft and some of these moves are setting up a deal later this summer.Diogu still has a lot of untapped potential and Portland is a good spot to find it. Dragic will stay overseas for now but when the time comes he might be good enough to run the Suns. Portland Trail Blazers: B+; Jerryd Bayless, Ike Diogu, Nicolas BatumPortland has morphed into the New England Patriots of the NBA as the wheelers and dealers of the draft. Shaq will help him develop some offense and Lopez might be able to teach Shaq how to defend the pick and roll.Lopez has some offensive skills in development and could turn into a dependable starting center on both ends of the floor. Robin Lopez, in my opinion, will be the better Lopez in the league because he is already a great defensive player both in one-on-one situations and as a help defender.Terry Porter is a hard-nosed coach that will preach defense and Robin Lopez is a player that prides himself on the defensive end.

Instead they essentially drafted the next Eddy Curry without the high ceiling of potential. Phoenix Suns: A; Robin Lopez, Goran DragicThe Suns got exactly what they needed in this draft: a defensive center and a developmental PG. He also struggles to finish easy plays around the rim, which is probably due to his conditioning.The Sixers could’ve taken a player like Roy Hibbert or Kosta Koufos at center to backup Dalembert or taken Darrell Arthur, who could’ve given the Sixers Al Hortford-type numbers this year. He got eight rebounds a game in college but didn’t hustle for those rebounds and struggled throughout the season in simple box-out situations. He is lazy, out of shape, lacks motivation, and doesn’t have a mean streak.

I saw Speights play in person at least 10 times last season in some big games and some meaningless games.I can tell you with certainty he isn’t ready for the NBA. They took the position of need but drafted one of the busts of the draft in Marreese Speights. Lee is a great scorer but wasn’t the best fit for the Magic. Philadelphia 76ers: D; Marreese SpeightsThe Sixers needed a PF badly as Reggie Evans and Jason Smith are currently their best options. Mario Chalmers was also still on the board and the Magic really need a good backup PG to Nelson. He was the kind of offensive player the Magic needed to solidify the offense. Douglas-Roberts has an unorthodox game in the weird angles he takes towards the basket and how he drives, but his game would get Dwight Howard easy baskets while getting open threes for Hedo, Lewis, and Nelson.In all honesty, CDR might have better passing skills than Nelson. CDR was the right fit in this situation because the Magic have enough shooters in Nelson, Lewis, Redick (if he ever sees the floor), Brian Cook, and Turkoglu.Hedo improved his game tremendously last year and has some dribble-drive skills but is the only player on the team that can slash to the basket.
