Draft Lottery Tonight at 8PM on ESPN

As far as I can tell this will either be a decent draft or a top-heavy but deep draft.

Derrick Rose looks to be astounding. There are also some lesser known talents that could be good.

From the Sixers perspective, Kevin Love, DJ Augustin, or one of a number of big men could help them. I think there are about 10 known commodities in the draft and the rest is a bunch of Euros, young big men from college, and role players. At number 16, I think we could get a good PG (if Augustin drops), potentially good PF, or high risk-high reward PF/C. The known commodity guys are mainly small forwards, and we could go in that direction even though we've already got Carney, Young, and Iguodala.

I think the sixers should draft another 6'7 athletic slasher type with lots of potential who can't shoot. Really, all 12 players should be like this.

By the way, Gabe - congrats for starting an nba blog in the summertime. I anticipate several months worth of WNBA posts and "puff pieces" on Manute Bol's charity work a la NBA Inside Stuff.
