15.  Detroit Pistons — B.J. Mullens, C, Ohio State

The Pistons have reportedly promised Mullens to take him and have yet to deny the report.

16.  Chicago Bulls — Dejuan Blair, F, Pittsburgh

Blair would be good insurance in case Chicago loses Tyrus Thomas in a trade.

17.  Philadelphia 76ers — Eric Maynor, PG, Virginia Commonwealth

Philadelphia seems to be set on a point guard. And apparently Maynor's been the guy all along.

18.  Minnesota Timberwolves — Brandon Jennings, PG, Virtus Roma (Italy)

Jennings will fall because of the uncertainty surrounding his year in Europe, but passing up on his upside would be difficult for Minnesota. 

19.  Atlanta Hawks —  Ty Lawson, PG, North Carolina

With so many free agents, knowing where to start is tough. Lawson will be a reliable rookie point guard.

20.  Utah Jazz —  Sam Young, G/F, Pittsburgh

Head coach Jerry Sloan likes Young because of Young's toughness and experience.

21.  New Orleans Hornets — Marcus Thornton, G, Louisiana State

The Hornets will likely either select Thornton or sell this pick.

22.  Portland Trail Blazers — Austin Daye, F, Gonzaga

Portland wants toughness, Daye, though undersized, is a rugged, versatile scorer.

23.  Sacramento Kings — Jrue Holiday, PG, UCLA

Holiday, like Evans, could play both guard spots, giving Sacramento tremendous backcourt flexibility.

24.  Dallas Mavericks — James Johnson, F, Wake Forest

Dallas wants to solidify its frontcourt. Johnson would be a nice pick if he falls this far.

25.  Oklahoma City Thunder — Rodrique Beaubois, PG, Cholet (France)

The Thunder can stockpile him overseas as insurance for Rubio without having to pay him right away.

26.  Chicago Bulls —  Darren Collison, PG, UCLA

Chicago reportedly wants a point guard, meaning it might trade Kirk Hinrich.

27.  Memphis Grizzlies — DeMarre Carroll, F, Missouri

Memphis has said it will take Carroll if he's available here.

28.  Minnesota Timberwolves — Chase Budinger, G/F, Arizona

Minnesota could punctuate an already tremendous draft by drafting Budinger, who could have been a lottery pick last year.

29.  Los Angeles Lakers — Jonas Jerebko, F, Angelico Biella (Sweden)

In case the Lakers can't sign Lamar Odom and Trevor Ariza, they like Jerebko. If not, Patrick Mills is a possibility.

30.  Cleveland Cavaliers — Derrick Brown, F, Xavier

Cleveland needs a tough, defensive swingman to spell LeBron James. Brown could fill the void if Cleveland can't fill it in free agency or through a trade.
