Which second round pick will make the biggest impact?

Saw this poll over at NBA.com so I thought what the heck what do the guys think?
Options:
Derrick Zimmerman :arrow: Golden State
Zaur Pachulia :arrow: Orlando
Keith Bogans :arrow: Orlando
Luke Walton :arrow: Los Angeles
Maciej Lampe :arrow: New York
Slavko Vranes :arrow: New York

I personally think it will be Maciej Lampe because he has the potential...but I am looking forward to Luke Walton since I'm an LA fan :wink: .

If you think some other player do say who!

Lampe!! I really hope this kid plays to his potential and beyond because the Knicks really need some help. They been getting screwed in the draft with foreign players so it would be nice to see something positive from him.
I'm not too sure on Slavko Vranes though. He is 1 of them picks that was just worth the gamble for. Big tall guy( definately not undersized!!), something the Knicks really need!

i would go for Bill Walton's son Luke Walton he can pass and yesterday or the day before he hit the game winning three in the summer league so basically he's a SF that can pass and shoot..i like him alot although i don't think he will get much playing time under George,Fox or Malone..(that is if Malone signs with Lakers)

I'm not really familiar with the skills of the draftees, esp. the second round players but based on what little I know I think Lampe would have some impact. (If he gets to play)

For him to be have been touted as a top 20 pick in the first round is pretty much saying that some NBA scouts think he got game. (Based on what the guys at the ESPN draft coverage said, I think he dropped all the way to the second round because of contract problems and nobody was willing to take the chance)

Plus given the Knicks lineup I think he can easily slip into the rotation.

I also think Walton is pretty good, but like Vins said, it's pretty tough competing for playing time in the Lakers lineup. And Phil Jackson uses a pretty limited rotation most of the time.

the pg from maryland. He has great court vision, can run a team, and hes a good shooter. I think hes underated......i heard he went low in the draft becuz he isnt a consistant scorer, but i was lookin at his senior yr stats, and he didnt really score against very poor teams, and he scored in a lot of big games. I think hell be good, he has good height 2.
hes a second round steal along with bogans.

James Lang. He's going to be the next Oliver Miller!

Jason Kapono can shoot the lights out. Same with Kyle Korver. They could do well. Had Kapono come out his freshman year, he would've been lottery.

Some of these players should've gone in the first round. I would've taken some of them over the International players, since I think that taking International players is too much of a gamble outside of the lottery.

Jerome Beasley could do really well with the Heat. He should've gone higher.

I think that Mo Williams and maybe Rick Rickert could do well. But they'r still so stupid to come out early...
