Is it too early to say that Andrew Bogut is a bust? The former No. 1 pick hasn’t done his fair season of being what a former number one pick should be doing. Lopez is the best center in this draft. Although the centers in the draft is the weakest point in the draft, expect Lopez to battle Bogut for the starting position come training camp.

9)      Charlotte—Anthony Randolph, PF.
This can be a very difficult pick for the Bobcats. They need a lot of help and at this stage of the draft, Randolph is the best player available. Earlier reports reported that the Bobcats are also interested in Kevin Love. But if Randolph is still available expect to see Randolph in a Bobcats uniform.

10)   New Jersey—Kevin Love, PF.
If Love slips this far in the draft the New Jersey Nets have a reason to celebrate. Love is a very charismatic guy who will put fans in the seats. However, Love is also a very dominate player who for a guy his size can not only defend well but be a great post player. If Love does slips this far, the Nets won’t have to think too hard on making this selection.

11)   Indiana—DJ Augustin, PG.
Go ahead name another guard on the Pacers team besides Jamaal Tinsley. Cat got your tongue? It got mine as well. I would compare Augustin to Derek Fisher. He is one of the best conditioned players in the draft who might turn out to be one of the best players to come out of this draft. Augustin would be a starter if the Pacers select him.

12)   Sacramento—Joe Alexander, SF.
Alexander had a great run in the NCAA Tournament which helped his stock a lot. Alexander would be coming to a team that is in the process of rebuilding. Brad Miller is not getting younger therefore last year they selected Spencer Hawkes from Washington and also acquired Shelden Williams from the Hawks this past season. Alexander might not be a starter put would be somebody they would depend on coming off the bench.

13)   Portland—Brandon Rush, SG.
The Portland Trailblazers are on the verge of becoming a very dominating team in the Western Conference. If Oden can live up to expectations and Brandon Roy can continue to being a leader then there is no reason why the Blazers can’t make the playoffs next year. Rush would bring leadership to the team as well as a three point threat. Rush should be the first of three   Kansas to be drafted in the first round.

14)   Golden State—Kosta Koufos, C.
