2010 NBA Draft
Pick-By-Pick Analysis of the First Round
June 28, 2010
By Woody Hannes
ESPN.com Junior Writer
What follows is a run-down of all 30 draft picks made in the first round the other night. The 2010 Draft has one sure-fire superstar in Jay Gray and a number of other exciting players who may grow and develop into All-Stars. The New Jersey Nets came away as big winners from the Lottery but did they make the right picks? Woody Hannes takes you through each pick made in the first round.
1. New Jersey (via New York) selects SG Jeremy Mason (UCLA)
Woody’s Take: The Nets selected the best scorer available but not necessarily the best player. Mason is no slouch though as he combines athleticism with a sweet touch from all over the floor. His ability to put the ball in the hoop changes games and that is what New Jersey were looking for. Pairing up the pass-first, pass-second PG Barney Steele with Mason should return instant dividends for now and for the future.
2. Milwaukee selects PF Jay Gray (TCU)
Woody’s Take: The Bucks were never going to let Gray get away here. Milwaukee wanted Gray ever since they knew they had the second selection of the Draft and expect the big man to win Rookie of the Year in the same fashion he unanimously swept the nation’s college basketball awards in his final year at TCU. Gray is strong, smart, and ready to make a huge impact in the NBA.
3. New Jersey selects C DJ Schmidt (Washington State)
Woody’s Take: The Nets added another piece of the puzzle in promising big man DJ Schmidt. Schmidt is an imposing force in the paint on both ends of the floor. He thrives on both ends of the floor thanks to his athleticism; able to score, block shots, and rebound. He joins Yi Jianlian, Jeremy Mason, and Barney Steele in a young but stellar Nets line up. New Jersey did very well in this Draft.
4. Toronto selects PG Chris Hova (Germany)
Woody’s Take: The Raptors knew that Chris Hova would fall into their laps thanks to the first three picks and although they already have Jose Calderon, they did not hesitate to pick the German playmaker. Hova is considered to be the second best player in the Draft ahead of Mason and Schmidt. His awareness, playmaking ability, and potential make him an exciting prospect for the Raptors. Toronto’s selection with Hova still on the board was a no-brainer.
5. Charlotte selects C Shaun Skinner (Michigan)
Woody’s Take: The Bobcats did not need to pick another PG as they took their time to make their selection with many expecting them to select Ray Lliach. Luckily, they came to their senses and picked Michigan’s Shaun Skinner. The college senior led his team in points, rebounds, and blocks; helping his side to a berth in the sweet sixteen. Skinner’s ability to run the floor will fit in well with the Bobcats’ style of play. Emeka Okafor should be pleased that he finally has a partner in the frontcourt.
6. Chicago selects SG Bradley Emerson (Tulsa)
Woody’s Take: The Bulls’ selection of Tulsa’s Bradley Emerson has given them an athletic and streaky shooter to pair up with Derrick Rose. Chicago has struggled ever since trading away Ben Gordon and Emerson may be the answer to their problems. Emerson is praised for his ability on both ends of the floor and if he is able to add a more dependable jump shot, the Bulls may be in luck.
7. LA Clippers selects PG Ray Lliach (Connecticut)
Woody’s Take: Baron Davis has done a fine job with the Clippers over the past two seasons but his days are numbered. Los Angeles’ other team has been rumoured to be shopping Davis around and the drafting of Lliach seems to confirm it even if team officials are saying that Davis’ position on the team is safe. Lliach led UConn to the NCAA title and looks like an All-Star calibre talent. The Clippers were happy to select him but no one is expecting to see the young Estonian play as a sixth man for long.
8. Memphis selects SF Stan Erickson (Arizona State)
Woody’s Take: This is a terrible selection for Memphis. Despite the fact that Rudy Gay might not be resigning with the team, the Grizzlies still have former star Shawn Marion waiting in the wings to take over the starting SF spot. Memphis desperately needed to shore up their frontcourt and pick up a centre. Donnie Meyers and Leo Chase would have made perfect sense here but Memphis opted for Erickson; a Shane Battier-like player. He’s no bad player but he just was not a ‘logical’ or ‘smart’ selection here.
9. Dallas selects SF Kenneth Dela Cruz (Purdue)
Woody’s Take: Dela Cruz impressed the San Antonio Spurs’ Gregg Popovich and their Texan rivals jumped on the opportunity to select the strong swingman. His game is still raw but many believe he has potential to one day be a star. Described as Ron Artest without the drama, the Mavs might finally be able to trade away troublesome SF Josh Howard.
10. Sacramento selects C Donnie Meyers (Oregon State)
Woody’s Take: Eddy Curry has already stated that he will not be back with the Kings and Sacramento is ridiculously thin in the frontcourt. The Kings are set with Moses Chara, Kevin Martin, and Steve Blake. Meyers is not a particular good scorer but he is a tough player on the defensive end of the floor. The Kings liked him because of the fact that the big man works hard on the glass and they got their man.
11. Philadelphia (via Utah) selects PG Aaron Karl (Rhode Island)
Woody’s Take: The 76ers traded up to draft at this position. So in essence, they traded SF Vlad Radmanovic for the steady Aaron Karl. This is a great move by the Sixers and when coupled with their selection at 19 (see below), makes them one of the winners in this Draft. Karl will give the team a boost from off the bench and a much more dependable PG than Rafer Alston has and will ever be.
12. Golden State selects PG Louis Nixon (Vanderbilt)
Woody’s Take: The Golden State Warriors prefer to have Monta Ellis play off the ball, which makes him more of a 2-guard than a 1. Nixon should thrive off the bench in the open court, fast pace style of Warriors basketball.
13. Phoenix selects PF Leo Chase (La Salle)
Woody’s Take: Chase created many headlines in the lead-up to the Draft. He was lauded for his amazing athleticism and knack for grabbing rebounds in unthinkable angles. Chase literally stretches like a rubber band as he reaches for the ball in mid-air. He was loathed for his lack of offensive game. His only move is the dunk. That should be ok with the Suns though as they still play at a quick pace and Chase’s gifts should be most exposed in this kind of system. Good move by the Suns.
14. San Antonio selects SF Igor Chugainov (Russia)
Woody’s Take: Athletic, defensive minded SF sounds about right. The Spurs really wanted to have Dela Cruz drop to 14 but since that did not happen, they took a gamble on the Russian Chugainov. Chugainov is not as strong as Dela Cruz but is a lot quicker. Like Dela Cruz, his offensive game needs some work but the Spurs don’t lose much here after missing out on the player they highly coveted.
15. Washington selects C Gerrad Hughes (Arizona State)
Woody’s Take: Hughes is great at running the floor for a big man and has nice hands on both of the floor. His soft touch allows him to finish on offence, he has amazing quickness for a man of his size and is able to make uncanny interceptions of passes, and he is always attempting to alter opponents’ shots. Brendan Haywood does not look like he will be back so Hughes should be an able replacement.
16. Indiana selects SG Leonard Cassell (BYU)
Woody’s Take: The Pacers actually got a steal here. The Nets were very serious about selecting him with their third pick and who would have thought that the Nets passing on him would have led him to slide all the way out of the lottery. The Pacers get a great defender with a beautiful jumpshot. If given the opportunity, this guy could be an All-Star one day.
17. Orlando selects PG Corey Brady (Ohio State)
Woody’s Take: The Magic get a scoring PG who has not shown any kind of ability to run an offence. Orlando has a solid side but perhaps sould have used their pick on Chinese forward Mingyu Li; like they said they would. Li would have given Orlando the shooting touch that is leaving with Hedo Turkoglu. Brady will be an erratic backup guard in the NBA. There’s no way to lie to yourselves Magic fans. You should have picked the guy you were saying you would.
18. LA Lakers selects SG James Carter (UCLA)
Woody’s Take: Kobe Bryant may have decided to stay with the Lakers but he is not getting younger. Carter is a top 10 talent but also a personality. It was the latter that made teams pass on him. He was in the Green room with all the other lottery picks and was fuming when the Clippers passed up on him. However, he was smiling when the Lakers picked him. He will play their as the ‘hometown kid’ and we all think that’s a bit of a consolation. Carter better behave himself in LA though.
19. Philadelphia selects PF Mingyu Li (China)
Woody’s Take: The Sixers could not believe it when Li dropped into their laps at 19. They really wanted the sweet shooting big man and even thought about selecting him at 11. The whole reason of trading Radmanovic to Utah for the Jazz’s pick was so that they would have a shot at Li. Li at 11 would not have made sense but at 19, he is worth the gamble. Li is more like Wang Zhizhi than Yi Jianlian. He has a sweet outside touch, is 7 feet tall, and that’s about it. It will be interesting to see how he pans out.
- - -
26. Minnesota selects PG Manfred Nissley (Georgia)
Woody’s Take: After Golden State and Phoenix both passed up on Nissley, he knew that he was in for a long night. He was the last player to walk up to shake hands with David Stern on the night and was a professional about it. The pint-sized PG may yet get a chance to show his stuff because Randy Foye has decided to test free agency.

Sorry Manfred, I never realise your rookie would slide so far down the draft. But it's good because makes the game unpredictable.
And glad that you are happy Skillmatic. It was a good outcome as your virtual player played for UCLA and come from Cali.

No need to apologise. Nobody apologised to Blair IRL for dropping 20-25 spots further than he should have.

A bit of a delay as have not had time to write the next chapter to the story. But it shall be out soon.
Homicide, your virtual player's starting position is very safe! And also good news for you, Rafer Alston decided to leave Philly.
Ratrac, welcome to a career of being a nobody until you get out of the Clippers!

Haha, I'm really happy about playing for the Lakers. Kobe's been one of my fave players for so long. (Yes I'm aware it's just a game) Anyway, I can't help but wait for the next chapter... which leads me to say that I've been really into Trey Songz for the last little while. Lol, that's probably the main reason why I posted.

Can't Help But Wait might be my favorite Trey Songz song. Apart from Just Gotta Make It... I think I listen to Can't Help But Wait the most!

The story so far...
Sources: Joe Johnson Interested In Seattle
June 30, 2010
SEATTLE (AP) – In what could be a major coup; Atlanta Hawks star SG Joe Johnson may sign for the Seattle Stealth in the following month. Despite the Hawks' recent run of success, Johnson is eying off a few large contract offers with teams in larger markets. The veteran guard is said to be interested in the Stealth because it would allow him to play in the Western Conference alongside fellow Team USA squad members Kevin Durant and Jason Kidd.
"Kevin and Jason are great to play with," Johnson told reporters as he prepared for a Team USA mini camp, "We would form one helluva back court in Seattle. I bet Gary Payton wishes he had players like Kevin and I to play alongside. We could win it all."
Johnson opted to test the free agent market as a result of the Hawks' reluctance to offer him a long term contract. "I did not feel that they respected me enough as a player," Johnson said, "I am not going back to Atlanta."

Miller Won't Be Back
July 1, 2010
SEATTLE (AP) – Former All-Star C Brad Miller has informed the Seattle Stealth of his intention to sign elsewhere. The 7 footer had stated that he was unhappy towards the end of his tenure with the side for undisclosed reasons.
Miller spent two seasons in Seattle. He was traded to the team from the Sacramento Kings in the 2008-09 season and made the All-Star team that year. In the following season, the big man helped the side make the playoffs as the number 5 seed and Seattle made a surprise run to the Western Conference Finals. Despite being a starter, crowd favorite, as well as a leader for the young Stealth team; Miller made it clear that he would not finish his career in Seattle.
"I want to see what else is out there for me," Miller stated, "I loved playing for the Stealth but at the end of the day, I need to do what is best for me. I wasn't happy with my situation so it's time for me to move on. Seattle will be a strong team in the future and I'm happy to have been there for the start of it. I wish everyone the best of luck."
Some insiders have suggested that a growing rift between star forward Kevin Durant and rookie guard Reshawn Tyson may have affected Miller's decision. One Stealth staffer stated, "Everyone knew that Brad was having enough of being the peacekeeper."
