Let me get the ball rolling
With the 1st pick in the 2005 nba draft, the Atlanta Hawks select Andrew Bogut of Utah
Analysis: the hawks need a big man in the worst way. who's their current starting center? jason collier? kevin willis? peja drobnjak? Andrew Bogut will be a major upgrade at the center position for them. they can use their second round pick to draft a fairly good pg such as john gilchrist. however if they draft chris paul with their 1st pick, there won't be any decent center left after the 1st round.
