One of the top five power forwards to ever to play the game.  He provides his team with consistency, fundamentals, leadership and the uncanny ability to whine after every call.  With all that aside, Timmy would be one of the sure things with no real downside.

6. New York KnicksAndrew BogutJust kidding, although I would love to see Knick fans react to this.

6a. New York KnicksKevin GarnettJust think of the infusion he gave the Boston Celtics this year. Yes, he is pretty old and will probably start winding down sometime soon, and yes, he has a reputation for not being a big game player.  But, KG would thrive in New York and cause Knicks fans to love going to the Garden again which counts for a lot.

7. Milwaukee BucksDirk NowitzkiOne of those super rare players that we really have never seen before.  A 7-foot-tall German with his strong suit actually being his perimeter play.  Dirk would give the Bucks a go-to player down the stretch and someone who could pour in points night in and night out. Plus, who wouldn't want to see the Dirk in Milwaukee.

8. Charlotte BobcatsSteve NashI think this is the time for Nash to go.  The two time MVP has so much to offer and in my opinion is the most creative player in the league.  His age and recent injury problems keep him from going higher.

9. Chicago BullsDeron WilliamsThe Bulls have to take Deron Williams here.  He has the rare ability to play a true point guard, while at the same time having the size and strength to post up and play lockdown defense.  His shooting touch from 3-point land as well as his age make him an ideal selection at the number nine spot.

10. New Jersey NetsAmare Stoudemire—He's just one of those players who seems like he can dunk from anywhere on the floor.  Even though he has had micro-fracture surgery, it seems like he's bounced back with no repercussions and at 26 years old still has a lot left in the tank.

Picks 11-20 Coming on Monday...
