And now we get to the dregs. There are some useful players in this bunch, but it’s mostly guess work at this point. When in doubt, I like to go with point guards or big men with upside, but that’s just a personal preference.
1 to 30
31 to 60
61 to 90
91 to 120
121. T.J. Ford – Has his issues, but he is a starting PG who can rack up assists, so that counts for something.
122. Mike Miller – Opportunity is there for him to assert himself as team’s #2 option; needs to stay healthy.
123. James Posey – Even if he’s not scoring a lot, can still be a useful player.
124. Damon Jones – If nothing else, will hit enough 3s to warrant a roster spot.
125. Marquis Daniels – We like him more than we should, but anyone who remembers the playoffs two years ago should know why; Doug Christie is old.
126. Amare Stoudemire – This just makes me sad; get all better for 06-07, Amare.
127. Chris Kaman – Skeptical he’ll ever be able be anything more than a guy you can use for a couple weeks at a time when he gets hot.
128. Kwame Brown – Don’t pick him any higher, but if you remember the second half of 03-04, he’s shown that he does have some skills.
129. Zaza Pachulia – We’ll see if those preseason visions of 30-35 mpg actually come true.
130. Kenny Thomas – Sacto should score enough and have a small enough rotation to give him a bit of value.
131. Primoz Brezec – Not a lot of boards or blocks from a center; Bobcats are deeper this season.
132. Vladimir Radmanovic – He’d like to have a contract-year breakout, but needs to be on the court to make it happen.
133. Chris Mihm – Was able to do 10/7 with 1.4 bpg in 25 minutes last year; even if it doesn’t get much better, could do worse for #2 center.
134. Nene – Camby’s gotta miss at least 20, right? In 18 starts last year, Nene went 12.7/6.9/2.2 with 1.1 steals and .9 blocks.
135. Matt Harpring – Think of him as Szczerbiak-lite; we realize that’s not saying much.
136. Udonis Haslem – Might lose starting job to Walker, but at least he’s proven his worth before, unlike lots below him here.
137. James Jones – Someone will get carried away and take him too high; expect Jim Jackson to see just as much – if not more – PT.
138. Luol Deng – Only 20 years old, he could get a lot better, but is pretty ordinary right now.
139. Juan Dixon – May enter the season as a starter, but would be surprised if he’s not coming off the bench sooner rather than later.
140. Desmond Mason – There are a few ways to go this late in the draft – the solid won’t-hurt-you-but-probably-won’t-really-help-you pick…
141. Shaun Livingston – … or the hope-he-becomes-a-breakout-star pick.
142. Jerry Stackhouse – Can still put up points with the best of them, but that’s about it.
143. Doug Christie – If he’s starting and still has something left in the tank, can be an underrated contributor.
144. Rashad McCants – We’re very skeptical; will need to hit a bunch of 3s to have value, we think.
145. Antonio Daniels – Might be an OK #3 PG; surprisingly helpful in FT%.
146. Delonte West – Don’t expect lots of assists even if starter, but should get some steals.
147. Jim Jackson – Wouldn’t be surprised to see him get starter’s minutes even coming off the bench.
148. Kelvin Cato – Career 51% shooter has averaged 1.9 blocks and 8.2 rebounds per 30 minutes in his career.
149. Dan Gadzuric – Another rebound and blocks machine that just needs the PT…
150. Joe Smith – But this guy seems to be blocking his path.
