A lot of people are ranking Irving as the top overall prospect right now.  

While I realize he has the potential to be great, I'd say he's No. 2 for one reason—point guards have not been hard to come by lately.

Over the last few years, several players with starting point guard talent have been drafted, and there are a few more this year.

A lot of teams are building around point guards right now, and I don't think it would be a bad decision to take him first overall—but I think Cleveland should go with Williams.

Right now, it doesn't look like that's going to happen.  However, if the reports about Cleveland looking to add the second pick turn out to be true, they'll get them both.

He's on His Way... Ricky Rubio Signs with Minnesota T'wolves: What It Means for 2011 NBA Draft

Height: 6'11"

Weight: 260 lbs.

Position: C/PF

Age: 19

Comparison: Luis Scola

We didn't get a chance to see Kanter at all this year because he played professional basketball overseas before he came to play for Kentucky.

Even still, it looks like he's almost a lock to be selected in the top five of this year's draft.

Think of him as a longer, more athletic version of Luis Scola.

He helped himself at the pre-draft camp by participating in all the workouts and performing pretty well in them.

Now that Minnesota has finally come to terms on a deal with Ricky Rubio, they can address some of their other needs--center is a big one for them.

Kanter is listed at 6'11", but his 7'1" wingspan makes him a legitimate center.  A frontcourt of Kanter, Kevin Love and Michael Beasley could become a nightmare for other teams.

Decisions, Decisions... 2011 NBA Draft: Utah Jazz Should Pass on Brandon Knight and Take Jimmer Fredette

Height: 6'9"

Weight: 248 lbs.

Position: SF/PF

Age: 20

Comparison: Michael Beasley/Thaddeus Young

Derrick Williams officially became a legitimate top overall pick possibility after he thrashed Duke.

In that game, he scored 32 points on 11-of-17 shooting (including 5-of-6 threes) and grabbed 13 rebounds.

That was his signature game, but he was nothing short of spectacular all season long.

For the year, he averaged 19.5 points and 8.3 rebounds a game.  Plus, he shot 60 percent from the field and 57 percent from three-point range.

He's athletic, smart, has a great attitude and is extremely versatile.

Williams is the most NBA-ready player in this class.  He can be a major contributor as early as next season.

With Andrei Kirilenko's contract expiring, Williams could step into the small forward role for the Jazz.  The organization would certainly be excited to see Cleveland take Kanter.

Height: 6'11"

Weight: 240 lbs.

Position: PF/SF

Age: 21

Comparison: Tyrus Thomas/Andrei Kirilenko

Vesely has great size and length for a small forward, but he's still very unpolished at this point. He needs a lot of work on his post offense.

From the perimeter, he's actually pretty solid for a player his size.  He handles and shoots the ball well. 

Right now, it's tough to see exactly what position he'll play in the NBA.  If he adds some strength, he could eventually even play center.

With the makeup of Cleveland's roster, he may play both forward positions.

Position: PG/SG

Age: 19

Comparison: Tyreke Evans/Jason Terry

John Calipari has sent four freshmen point guards to the NBA in the last three years. Athletically, Knight is similar to those guys, but he's a better outside shooter than any of them.

He really showed off that ability against North Carolina in the Elite Eight.

Knight's stock has been rising steadily over the last severalweeks, and some are starting to think he may end up being the best point guard from this draft.

If he falls all the way to No. 5, I'm sure Toronto would be excited.  He and DeMar DeRozan could develop into a fantastic backcourt duo.

Position: SF/PF

Age: 19

Comparison: Shawn Marion/Gerald Wallace

Kawhi Leonard is anything but polished on offense, but his athleticism (some say he wasn't warmed up for his combine testing), intensity and defensive prowess could get him drafted in the lottery.

Plus, he's an elite rebounder for a 6'7" player (he averaged nearly 11 a game this year).

If he plays with a great distributor like Shawn Marion did for much of his career, he could put up some solid numbers.

John Wall is just that kind of distributor.  Averaging over eight assists a game as a rookie is extremely impressive.

Leonard would see plenty of open looks at the rim if he wound up on the Wizards.

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 184 lbs.

Position: PG/SG

Age: 21

Comparison: Brandon Jennings/Ben Gordon

Kemba Walker led his Huskies on one of the most ridiculous runs in the history of college basketball.  He did so with more than just his scoring.

He's a solid distributor, an underrated rebounder and he works hard on defense.

On the season, he averaged 23.5 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.5 assists.

He's not a very efficient scorer (43 percent from the field and 33 percent from three-point range), but he has a hunger that may be unparalleled in this draft class.

He's proven to be a great leader, and his success in March and April could very well get him drafted in the top five.

If he slips to Sacramento at seven, he could be a steal.  They need a point guard to permanently move Tyreke Evans to shooting guard (yes I know, Walker is a shoot-first guy). 

The biggest thing he'd bring to the young Kings roster is a great deal of positivity and maturity to a team that just went through a heart-wrenching season.

Height: 6'9"

Position: PF/C

Age: 18

Comparison: DeJuan Blair/Ben Wallace

Biyombo has burst onto the scene of this draft class in the last couple weeks.

After a very impressive triple-double at the 2011 Nike Hoops Summit, he's become a very legitimate first-round possibility.

The Brazilian center scored 12 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked 10 shots against the young American team.

He's long (7'7" wingspan) and athletic, but like most 18-year-old prospects, he is very raw.

The Pistons have lost their once imposing identity as one of the league's best defensive teams. Building around Biyombo could get them back to that level in a few years.

Comparison: Nenad Krstic

He still needs to add a lot of strength, but his solid fundamentals should help him transition into the NBA.

He runs, defends and rebounds fairly well.  Plus, he has a very solid basketball IQ for an 19-year-old player.

He may not be the kind of dominant center Charlotte would like to replace Kwame Brown and Joel Przybilla, but I think they'd be excited to see Valanciunas fall to them.

Weight: 230 lbs.

Position: PF

Age: 21

Comparison: Al Harrington/Carlos Boozer

Marcus Morris is considered by most experts to have more upside than his brother Markieff. What's clear is that Marcus has the more polished offensive game.

He handles and shoots the ball well for a big man.  Plus, he's proven that he can be a solid rebounder.  He had his best rebounding games in the biggest moments.

Milwaukee has a decent nucleus with Brandon Jennings at point guard and Andrew Bogut at center, but they can probably upgrade at all three positions in between.

Morris could come in and compete for the starting power forward role right away.  A frontcourt of Morris and Bogut could be very difficult to defend (assuming Jennings gets them the ball).

Position: PF

Age: 20

Comparison: Brandon Bass

First he was in the draft, then he was out.  Now, he's back in.  If his status stays the same, he'll almost certainly be a lottery pick.

Thompson is a bit undersized for an NBA big man, but he has a wingspan (7'2") that makes up for his lack of standing height.

He plays hard, and that helps him on defense and on the offensive glass.

He still has to work on his perimeter game a bit, but that will come in time.  If he can develop a reliable mid-range jumper, he could become very effective.

The Warriors spent a lot of money on David Lee but still haven't figured out their frontcourt. Thompson could easily become a part of that frontcourt rotation.

Position: PG/SG

Age: 22

Comparison: Stephen Curry/Deron Williams

Fredette put up huge numbers in the tournament, but he missed a lot of shots in BYU's loss to Florida.

His critics focus on his 11-of-29 shooting and ignore some good things he showed.

The experts have been telling us all year that Jimmer wouldn't be able to get his own shot off against quicker defenders, but he blew by Florida's Kenny Boynton and Erving Walker whenever he wanted to.

Then he showed the ability to finish over legitimate big men.  If only someone on BYU's coaching staff could have compelled him to keep attacking, the result of that game may have been different.

The legitimate question mark on Fredette has to do with defense.  I'm not sure if he can guard anyone at the next level, but that's the same thing all the experts said about Steve Nash when he entered the league.

Utah desperately needs shooting and playmaking from the perimeter.  They were 20th in the league in three-point percentage and 24th in threes made.

Jimmer could start his career as a combo guard who provides instant offense off the bench for the Jazz.  I think he may finish his career as a franchise point guard.

This could very well end up being the steal of the draft.

Comparison: Kyle Korver/Martell Webster

Hamilton has been a fantastic offensive player this year, averaging 19 points and eight rebounds a game. He shot 44 percent from the field and 39 percent from three-point range.

His numbers are pretty similar to what Kyle Korver put up in college (plus they have similar builds), however, I think he might develop into a better all-around player.

The Suns are on the precipice of a total rebuilding.  I think they'd love a point guard here, but I have none left that warrant a lottery pick.

Finding Nash's successor is probably a pretty big priority, but adding talent on the wings may be just as important.

Vince Carter and Grant Hill are both way beyond their primes, and Phoenix needs someone to fill in when they're gone.

Comparison: Andrea Bargnani/Kevin Durant

His game is a lot like Andrea Bargnani's, and his toothpickish arms and legs are reminiscent of Kevin Durant's (when he was a freshman at Texas).

He needs to get a lot stronger and needs to develop every part of his game, but he could become a decent big man.

Houston started 6'6" Chuck Hayes at center this past year.  They need a legitimate replacement for Yao Ming and Motiejunas may be it.

Comparison: Brandon Roy

Alec Burks is my dark horse for 2012 Rookie of the Year (for a lot of the same reasons I thought Brandon Roy would win it).

He's a very polished, complete scorer.  He has a prototypical NBA shooting guard's build.  He's long and athletic.  In addition to being a great scorer, he does just about everything else well, too.

The Pacers tried to acquire a shooting guard at the trade deadline but their deal for O.J. Mayo was submitted to the league office a bit late.  Burks could step in and contribute right away for Indiana.
