19. Atlanta Hawks- Jeff Teague

The Hawks have not picked particularly well at this position; they took Acie Law a few years back when Rodney Stuckey was still on the board. They take Teague and get their point guard for the future to go along with the young core of players they have.

 

20. Utah Jazz- James Johnson

Johnson slips to 20 and the Jazz get a rare hybrid that can play the 3 and the 4.

 

21. New Orleans Hornets- Terrence Williams

Williams is a nice defensive player, however is inconsistent, however the Hornets get a nice player who can be a whole lot better playing alongside Chris Paul.

 

22. Dallas Mavericks- Eric Maynor

Mark Cuban is still kicking himself over trading Devin Harris, now he has to draft a point guard with Jason Kidd departing, Maynor is a great offensive point guard who can shoot and distribute. The most underrated player in this draft and the top senior in this draft.

 

23. Sacramento Kings- DaJuan Summers

Summers will be a nice player to go alongside Kevin Martin

 

24. Portland Trailblazers- Darren Collison

Collison is an experienced point guard who will fit in nicely with the young Blazers squad.

 

25. Oklahoma City Thunder- Tyler Hansbrough

Hansbrough falls to the Thunder; he has a great work ethic and is a great fouls shooter. Expect Hansbrough to have a major chip on his shoulder.

 

26. Chicago Bulls- Sam Young

Young will be a nice wing player who can score at will; he will fit in perfectly with the Bulls.

 

27. Memphis Grizzlies- Gani Lawal

The Grizzlies get a nice shot blocker Lawal, who is one of the better defensive players in this draft.

 

28. Minnesota Timberwolves- Patrick Mills

The Wolves take a the young point guard from Saint Mary’s. Although Mills is undersized, he is a great scorer.

 

29. Los Angeles Lakers-Toney Douglas

Douglas may not be a true point guard, but it looks like Derek Fisher may be retiring the Lakers would be happy with Douglas.

 

30. Cleveland Cavaliers- Demare Carroll

Cleveland lacks a dominant front-line and it showed when they could not stop Dwight Howard, if they can develop Carroll he will be a nice defensive player.
