16. Bulls - Earl Clark. At 6'10 he's capable of handling the ball. Bulls need more size (according to reports)? He was rated in the top-10 a couple weeks ago - so something is making him slide this far down the draft.
17. 76ers - Jrue Holiday. The thought is PG here in case Andre Miller leaves via free agency. Holiday can be found all over draft boards and this is likely low for him. UCLA point guards appear to stick in the league anyways (Baron, Farmar, Westbrook, etc)
18. Timberwolves - Terrence Williams. A talented player but has a little history of trouble. Lots of teams like his talent though. I can see him going around 10 or falling into the 20's. The T-Wolves got Curry with their earlier pick in my draft and now shoot for the stars as they need some athleticism on the wings (Mike Miller isn't the most athletic 2/3 in the world)
19. Hawks - Chase Budinger. A downtown specialist who can jump out of the gym. Having another reliable marksman from 3pt range is always helpful.
20. Tyler Hansbrough. Is he not a Jerry Sloan type player? He's big, got size, he can shoot, he hustles and the biggest factor of all....he's white. Perfect fit in Utah.
21. Hornets. Wayne Ellington. No offense to Rasual Butler or Morris Peterson but this 6'5 shooting guard from North Carolina may want your job from opening day.
22. Mavericks. Eric Maynor. A 6'3 PG who can spell Jason Kidd or takeover if Kidd leaves. This allows the Mavs to not have to play Terry at the point. This Maynor kid can really score too.
23. Kings. Austin Daye. A possible Tayshaun Prince type player. The concern is that at 6'11 he couldn't bench press 185 pounds one time. Not once!!!
24. Blazers - Omar Casspri. Unknown (to me) prospect from Israel. Apparently in workouts he's beatin' guys up. Literally, others have broken noses and black eyes. A tough guy is exactly what the Blazers need for their bench (cause Channing Frye wasn's scaring anyone)
25. Thunder - DaJuan Summers. A big forward from Georgetown who played with Jeff Green. That Hoya worked out OK.
26. Bulls - Marcus Thornton. 6'4 SG who could replace Gordon if he leaves.
27. Grizzlies - Derrick Brown.
28. Timberwolves - Sam Young
29. Lakers - Jeff Teague - I forgot about him so he'll go much higher in the draft.
30. Cavaliers - Taj Gibson.
